What is Lactobacillus Plantarum L-137 (Immuno-LP20™)?*
Lactobacillus Plantarum Postbiotic is an innovative supplement featuring Immuno-LP20™, a patented postbiotic ingredient developed in Japan. This unique formula is designed to help support natural immune balance and digestive well-being as part of a healthy lifestyle.*
The supplement Lactobacillus Plantarum Postbiotic is part of our Immune Support category.*
Composition: What Is Immuno-LP20™?
Immuno-LP20™ provides a standardized, heat-treated form of Lactobacillus plantarum HK L-137. This specific strain was originally identified in traditional Japanese fermented foods and has since been studied for its stability and potential role in supporting wellness.*
The ingredient undergoes a controlled heat process to ensure stability and improve tolerance, resulting in what is known as a postbiotic compound—non-viable bacteria or bacterial components that may still provide functional support to the body.*
Potential Areas of Support*
Research has explored the potential benefits of Immuno-LP20™ in several wellness areas. While findings are preliminary, this postbiotic has been studied for its possible role in:
- Supporting natural immune balance and overall vitality.*
- Promoting digestive comfort and microbiota harmony.*
- Contributing to oral and skin wellness through its antioxidant properties.*
General Lifestyle Tips for Immune and Digestive Wellness*
Alongside supplementation, several simple lifestyle habits may help support immune and digestive balance:*
- Manage stress: Relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises or mindfulness may support overall balance.*
- Stay active: Regular, moderate exercise helps promote circulation and general wellness.*
- Eat a balanced diet: A variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole foods provide essential nutrients that support normal body functions.*
- Get sufficient sleep: Quality rest plays a key role in maintaining overall vitality.*
Potential Benefits of Lactobacillus Plantarum Postbiotic*
- The heat-treated strain of Lactobacillus plantarum HK L-137 offers excellent stability and tolerance compared to traditional probiotics.*
- The process used to create Immuno-LP20™ helps protect the compound from environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.*
- Delivered in 100% vegetarian capsules, formulated with acacia gum as a natural plant-based excipient.*
