Frequently Asked Questions

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum(L. plantarum,formerly calledLactobacillus plantarum)is aprobiotic bacteriumthat may help to reduce inflammation, manage blood sugar in people with diabetes, reduce depression, and improve sleep quality.

L. plantarumis present in fermented foods and beverages, but researchers have also observed this probiotic in the body’smucous membranes, saliva, and digestive tract (gut).L. plantarumis also found in over-the-counterprobiotic supplements. Potential benefits ofL. plantarumhave been studied in clinical trials. But research results are inconsistent so studies are ongoing.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate supplements the way it regulates prescription drugs. That means some supplement products may not contain what the label says. Whenchoosing a supplement, look for independently tested products and consult a healthcare provider, registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN), or pharmacist.

Fermented Foods and Beverages

A vibrant history offermentedfoods and beverages exists from around the globe.L. plantarumcan be found in fermented foods and beverages such as the following:

There are many morefermentedfruits and vegetables than what is listed here.

Finding new recipes, learning more about the rich cultures they come from, and taste-testing to see which ones you like can be a fun way to continue to support your health.

The Research

There is significant interest in themicrobiome(all the microorganisms living in your body). Researchers have drawn connections between the gut microbiome and nervous system health.

Studies have found links in how changing your body’s microbe balance can influence your health.L. plantarumimpacts the microbiome and beyond. It has been studied for the following conditions:

As with any natural remedy or dietary supplement,L. plantarumshould not be used as a substitute for standard care. More studies are needed to confirm these results.

Speak with your healthcare provider if you have questions about your health.

Side Effects and Safety Concerns

Some individuals have experienced side effects fromL. plantarum,including gas and bloating.

In the following cases, avoid takingL. plantarumuntil discussing it further with your healthcare provider:

There has also been interest in how the gut microbiome impacts the body’s use of certain medications and how medications impact the microbiome.

Antibiotics, while helpful, can reduce both bad and good microbes in the body.

However, a review suggested following nonantibiotic medicines also impact levels ofLactobacillusspecies in the body:

Some supplements risk being contaminated. Seek products that mention “current good manufacturing practices” (CGMP) on the label.

Summary

Research suggestsL. plantarummay offer some health benefits. However, more, extensive clinical trials are needed to confirm results. To boost your intake ofL. plantarumfrom foods, look into fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi.

If you’re considering takingL. plantarumin supplement form, speak with your healthcare provider to ensure it’s the right option.

Yes.Lactiplantibacillus plantarumis one of the most varied species of lactic acid bacteria. It was formerly known asLactobacillus plantarum.

Some individuals have experienced side effects like gas and bloating.

Before making dietary or movement changes, check in with your healthcare provider if you have underlying health conditions likekidney conditionsordiabetes. In this case, you may need further, tailored advice about the balance of your diet. Seeking guidance from aregistered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN)can be especially helpful.

Research demonstrated specific strains ofL. plantarumbenefited some symptoms ofirritable bowel syndrome (IBS)but not all. One study suggested benefits for bowel frequency and stool consistency (Bristol score) using 3.52 billion CFU of the CCFM1143 strain daily.Another study used 10 billion colony-forming units (cfu) of the 299v strain for four weeks with significant benefit.However, another using the 299v strain didnothelp IBS symptoms.
