1. Fermentation in the Gut:

   • Megasphaera elsdenii is involved in the fermentation of complex carbohydrates in the gut. Through this fermentation process, certain bacteria break down dietary fibers and other substrates, producing various metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

2. Production of Short-Chain Fatty Acids:

   • Short-chain fatty acids, such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are among the metabolic byproducts of bacterial fermentation in the gut. These SCFAs have been associated with various health benefits, including supporting the health of the intestinal lining and influencing immune responses.

3. Impact on Gut Health:

   • The composition and activity of bacteria in the gut, including Megasphaera elsdenii, play a role in maintaining gut health. Imbalances in the gut microbiota have been linked to various gastrointestinal conditions, and promoting a diverse and balanced microbiota is generally considered beneficial for overall health.

4. Metabolism of Lactic Acid:

   • Megasphaera elsdenii is known for its ability to metabolize lactic acid. This metabolic capability can contribute to the balance of microbial fermentation pathways in the gut.

5. Potential Role in Ruminants:

   • Megasphaera elsdenii has been studied in the context of its role in the rumen of ruminant animals. In ruminants, such as cows, Megasphaera elsdenii contributes to the breakdown of complex carbohydrates in the fermentation process.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Megasphaera elsdenii
