Have you heard of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori? Perhaps not, as its awareness is not widespread, despite it being believed to touch around 50% of the Occidental population.
For a long time, it was thought that no bacteria could survive the acidity of the stomach. However, in 1982, two Australian scientists were surprised to discover that the Helicobacter pylori bacteria could withstand the effects of gastric juices.
This bacteria forms part of the Helicobacter genus because of its external, corkscrew-like, helicoidal structure. The term pylori refers to the pylorus, where the stomach meets the small intestine.
The scientists who discovered H. pylori in the human stomach were awarded the Nobel prize for physiology and medicine in 2005. Following this major advance, further research has attempted to expand our understanding of the mechanism responsible for its development.
Its very specific structure makes it able to penetrate the stomach's mucus and mucosa. Once there, H. pylori seems to produce significant amounts of an enzyme called urease, which enables it to survive in the gastric mucosa.
In addition to secreting urease, H. pylori might produce other substances which may not be beneficial to the stomach.
It is estimated that about half of the population may have this bacteria. Though it is more likely to appear during childhood, Helicobacter pylori may remain undiscovered for years. A significant number of people thus may have it without realizing it.
It can be difficult to find out if you have H. pylori, but some effects may manifest, such as mild stomach discomfort, reduction of appetite, potential bloating, etc.
It seems that licorice extract may help with some digestive challenges. The natural mastic gum, which seems to have been used for thousands of years, may have been shown in studies to potentially help with H. pylori
At SuperSmart, you can try our H. Pylori Formula supplement.
Alongside a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, certain nutritional supplements may help maintain normal digestion. For example, Psyllium Husk, which might contain an important amount of soluble fiber, as well as probiotics, microorganisms, apparently recognized for their possible beneficial effects on the digestive system.
