Symbiosis between the gastrointestinal microbiota and the host is the basis for these health
benefits. In exchange for a stable environment and adequate nutrients, the microbiota play a role in maturation of the gastrointestinal tract, provide the host with nutritional contributions and help safeguard the host from harmful microbes. When this symbiosis is disturbed, introduction of naturally occurring intestinal microflora, like Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, can assist in re-establishing homeostasis and optimal function.
To assist practitioners in the recovery of research papers that have utilised LGG as a primary organism for the determination of effects and outcomes, we hope this document will prove useful.
