What is Lactobacillus Plantarum DR7?

Lactobacillus Plantarum DR7 is a probiotic strain used to support the gut microbiome in individuals suffering from chronic stress. The gut microbiome comprises all the microbes present in the gut. It is essential in controlling digestion and aiding the immune system against harmful bacteria.

Research has already established a positive connection between the gut microbiome and stress levels. 

Studies on Lactobacillus Plantarum DR7 show that it may lower stress levels and modulate bowel movement in stressed adults. It is believed to achieve these results by regulating cortisol levels in the body during high-stress levels.

Interestingly, one study also discovered that Lactobacillus Plantarum DR7 improved upper respiratory tract infections by enhancing immune and inflammatory parameters.

In the video below, Dr. Ryan Bentley explains how Lactobacillus Plantarum is a probiotic that helps your gut bacteria start to flourish:

What is the recent finding of Lactobacillus Plantarum strain JBC5?

In an animal study conducted in January 2022, researchers found that the Lactobacillus Plantarum JBC5 strain may be a next-generation probiotic. 

Lactobacillus Plantarum JBC5 was able to increase the mean lifespan of worms by roughly 28%; it was able to achieve this by improving the quality of gut functions. Moreover, it increased the worm’s resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses such as heat, oxidative, and pathogen stresses. It also improved the cognitive functions of the worms.

Can Lactobacillus Plantarum HEAL9 be used to manage stress?

A study showed that individuals suffering from chronic stress showed significant improvements when administered Lactobacillus Plantarum HEAL9 for four weeks. These improvements were observed through an acute stress test involving a VR interview and a mathematical problem.

Although more research is required to use this probiotic as a treatment for chronic stress, this study of probiotics gives the use of probiotics in supporting mental health a new perspective.

What properties does Lactobacillus Plantarum 6595 have?

A Lactobacillus Plantarum PS128 supplement can help athletes recover as it has anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties. Studies have shown these properties to help in the following:

A study has been conducted on these effects of Lactobacillus Plantarum PS128, in which 8 runners were given Lactobacillus Plantarum PS128 supplement twice daily for four weeks. The runners then tested them for exercise capacity. This study, being placebo-controlled, was performed in two groups of eight. 

The results showed the probiotic group to have better muscle recovery and lower muscle damage.

What effect does oral consumption of Lactobacillus Plantarum Lp8 have on the body?

According to a study, oral consumption of Lactobacillus Plantarum Lp8 could improve the body’s gastrointestinal health. However, some of these results were temporary and gradually faded once researchers stopped the administration of Lactobacillus Plantarum Lp8.

Furthermore, these results were also age-related.
