Lactobacillus reuteri DSM17648

Key Benefits

• Binds specifically to H. pylori surface proteins, forming coaggregates• Flushes H. pylori out of the GI tract – does not kill, but physically removes• Reduces gastric H. pylori load significantly and sustainably• Alleviates mild dyspepsia symptoms

Key Data

• Coaggregation occurs within seconds in vitro• Single DSM17648 cell binds 2–3 H. pylori cells• Active in 37°C artificial gastric juice; effective across pH 2–8 (covering fasting to post-meal gastric pH range)• Not interfered by common dietary sugars; requires pepsin for full activationClinical trial: 2‑week monotherapy eradication rate: 54% ; 8‑week monotherapy: approaches triple-drug antibiotic therapy at 65%• Excellent safety profile – side‑effect free (physical binding mechanism, not pharmacological)

Commercial Use

Included in oral health / H. pylori‑targeted probiotic blends (chewable tablets)

Why Choose DSM17648?

  • Mechanistically unique – physical binding and excretion, not killing or bacteriostatic action; mimics natural immune defense without disrupting gut microbiota balance

  • Clinically validated with multiple human trials; comparable efficacy to antibiotic therapy in 8‑week use, without side effects or resistance risk

  • Highly stable – active across a wide pH range (2–8); compatible with various formulations including tablets, powders, and beverages

  • Ideal for functional foods and supplements targeting H. pylori‑positive populations, chronic gastritis sufferers, and consumers seeking antibiotic‑free gut health solutions

  • Strong consumer appeal – “gentle removal” positioning avoids the stigma of antibiotic-associated side effects
