These Veillonella bacteria produce a molecule that helps increase exercise endurance. The results, published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine, could someday change the way we work out, ...

Veillonella, then, could potentially help alleviate this soreness, the researchers believe. Related article The secret to changing your lactose tolerance may be in your gut.

(CNN) -- Great athletes not only have heart, they have guts -- special guts. Boston Marathon runners and Olympic athletes have higher than usual amounts of Veillonella bacteria in their digestive ...

The Veillonella bacteria are able to use this exercise by-product as their main food source. "Our immediate hypothesis was that it worked as a metabolic sink to remove lactate from the system, ...

While Veillonella shows promise as a potential performance enhancer, it's still early on in the stages of research. The test shows a possible positive feedback loop between the bacteria and a ...

Veillonella feast exclusively on lactate to get the carbon that they need to grow and, in the process, make propionate, a compound shown to raise heart rate and oxygen use in mice.

The Veillonella mice, on the other hand, lasted closer to 19 minutes—a 13 percent increase in endurance. Even when the researchers leapfrogged the Veillonella and administered propionate ...

When they looked at post-exercise mice with and without Veillonella in their systems, the animals’ lactate levels weren’t that different. Instead, they looked closer at the propionate the gut bacteria ...

Moving on to another group of athletes, ultramarathoners and Olympic trial rowers, the researchers got similar results: higher levels of Veillonella after an endurance competition.
