Lactobacillus plantarum

Ingredient Type: Prebiotic / Probiotic
Safe

Lactobacillus plantarum is a type of beneficial bacteria that is commonly found in the human gut and is also present in some fermented foods, such as sauerkraut and pickles. It is a "friendly" bacteria that helps to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut.

In protein powders, Lactobacillus plantarum may be added as a probiotic supplement to support gut health and digestion. It is believed to help improve digestive function, boost the immune system, and support the body's natural defenses against harmful bacteria.

Lactobacillus plantarum is generally considered safe when consumed in recommended amounts.
