Lactobacillus plantarum 299v
Originally isolated from healthy human intestinal mucosa, L. plantarum 299v is one of the most rigorously tested strains for the management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Clinical Outcomes
- IBS Symptom Relief: Multiple double-blind, placebo-controlled trials demonstrate significant reductions in abdominal pain and bloating in IBS patients.
- Iron Absorption: Studies suggest it may enhance the absorption of non-heme iron from food.
- Histamine Safe: It is considered safe for those with histamine intolerance, as it does not produce histamine.
