About LGG ®
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or LGG® is a strain of L. rhamnosus that was discovered by Sherwood Gorbach and Barry Goldin in 1983.
According to Gorbach and Goldin's research, LGG® tolerates the
acid conditions in the stomach, the bile acids in the small intestine,
colonizes the digestive tract and balances the the 'good' and 'bad' bacteria in the digestive system.
Vaalia yoghurt, available in low fat, lactose free and full-cream
(for children) in a variety of flavours is the only food source
of LGG® currently available in Australia.
Regular consumption of LGG is scientifically documented to offer the following benefits:
- Helps maintain a healthy digestive system
- Helps re-establish good bacteria after antibiotic treatment
- Protects intestines from harmful bacteria
- Reduces the severity and duration of stomach upsets
- Helps support a normal, healthy immune system
