'Transient' refers to something that is temporary; remaining for a short period of time. A transient probiotic strain is therefore one that passes through the gut without adhering to the gut wall lining.
Adhesion to the gut wall lining (ie. strains which are not transient) is often considered an important factor in determining probiotic quality, as a probiotic that adheres can in turn colonise the digestive tract and have a longer lasting effect on the body. Our probiotic strains undergo tests with the Institut Rosell to ensure their adhesion to the epithelial cells of the gut. Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 have paticularly positive outcomes in these tests.
Certain probiotic species are, however, transient by nature. For example Saccharomyces boulardii, which can be found in the product For bowel calm. A probiotic can be transient, and yet still have a positive effect on the human body.
