Rhamnosus Lgg

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is a specific strain of probiotic bacteria. It is a single-celled microorganism that occurs naturally in the human gut. It is typically grown in a laboratory through fermentation processes.

LGG is added to foods as a live probiotic culture to support gut health. It is often found in fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir, as well as some cereals and dietary supplements. Manufacturers use it to enhance the health benefits of these products.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in foods. It is a well-researched probiotic strain, and studies suggest it may help support digestive health. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated probiotics, but specific evaluations for LGG's safety and efficacy in food are ongoing. While generally considered safe, individual responses can vary.
