What Is Lactobacillus Casei?
Lactobacillus casei, or L. casei, is a type of healthful bacteria classified as a probiotic. Like many probiotics, it naturally grows in the human body, but is also found in various dairy products and some fermented foods and beverages. L. casei does not require oxygen, but does need certain nutrients and minerals in order to grow. It is promoted for both its benefits to the human digestive system and the immune system. Though most often ingested through the consumption of yogurt, it is also available in supplements that boast large numbers of microbe colonies.
