LP299V® probiotic strain

One of the world's most clinically documented probiotic strains

Probi’s flagship Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v (LP299V®) was originally isolated from healthy human intestinal mucosa by Prof Dr Bengt Jeppsson at Lund University in Sweden.

LP299V has been studied extensively for more than three decades with a substantial body of vitro, animal, and human clinical research. This makes it one of the most scientifically validated probiotics and the most clinically documented L.plantarum strains available.

For nutraceutical brands, supplement manufacturers and functional food and beverage developers, LP299V offers a clinically documented probiotic ingredient with extensive scientific heritage, proven gastrointestinal survival, strong formulation flexibility and global technical support from Probi. As a leading L. plantarum probiotic, LP299V provides formulators with a scientifically substantiated solution backed by decades of research.

How LP299V® works

LP299V is a clinically researched probiotic strain that adheres to the lining of the gut, enabling it to interact directly with the intestinal cells and overall environment. This interaction helps support digestive health, strengthen the gut barrier, and promote a balanced microbiome.

LP299V possesses a unique adhesion mechanism that allows it to bind to mannose receptors on intestinal epithelial cells. This close attachment is considered a key factor behind many of its observed benefits and distinguishes it from many other probiotic strains.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that LP299V survives the challenging conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and adheres to the intestinal mucosa. Preclinical research has also identified anti-inflammatory effects, including reductions in pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, and IL-12.

In addition, LP299V supports intestinal barrier function by stimulating mucin production. This protective layer lines the gut and assists in maintaining healthy intestinal permeability. LP299V furthermore contributes to microbiome balance through competitive exclusion of undesirable microorganisms and the production of beneficial metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids, which play an important role in most bodily functions.

4 reasons LP299V is the probiotic strain of choice for digestive health

Selecting the right probiotic strain requires confidence in both scientific evidence and commercial performance. LP299V combines decades of clinical documentation with formulation flexibility, assisting brands in developing differentiated products across multiple health categories, and is backed by credible science.
