Various effects
The following effects have been
reported.
01Anti-aging (non-clinical study)
Inhibits visible aging!
It has been found that intake of L. lactis Plasma suppresses the increase of aging scores. Specifically, close observation of the skin revealed that it suppresses structural collapse due to aging.

02Sports Training
Suppresses physical discomfort caused
by strenuous exercise,
and reduces fatigue!
It has been found that intake of
L. lactis Plasma reduces the subjective symptoms of physical discomfort and fatigue during continuous intense exercise.

03Work Performance
Improved labor-performance
indicators!
It has been confirmed that the intake of L. lactis Plasma resulted in maintenance of good physical comfort and improved work performance indices.

04Increase the skin barrier function
Maintain the balance of your skin flora!
It has been found that intake of L. lactis Plasma
maintains the balance of skin flora and enhances the skin barrier function.
At this time, there was a confirmed increase in tight junction gene* expression, which plays an important
role in skin barrier function.
*Tight junction gene: A gene that produces a protein necessary for skin cells to bond together, which is said to contribute to water retention and other functions.

What is skin flora?
Skin flora is the bacterial population on our skin surface. Intestinal flora has been the focus of much attention in recent years, but flora exists not only in the intestines but also on the skin. When this balance is good and stable, skin health is easily to maintain. The types of bacteria include "good bacteria", "opportunistic bacteria", and "bad bacteria", and there are between 1 and 10 million bacteria per square centimeter of your skin.

05Effect similar to vaccine adjuvant
[enhancement effects]
(non-clinical study)
Improved immune efficiency against
influenza antigens
The intake of L. lactis Plasma increased the immune efficiency, suggesting an effect similar to a vaccine adjuvant.

What is a vaccine adjuvant?
Adjuvants, the name of which is derived from the Latin word "adjuvare" meaning "to help", are substances that are administered with vaccines to increase their effectiveness ("immunogenicity"). Since the adjuvant is only intended to enhance the efficacy of the vaccine, administering the adjuvant alone will not produce a vaccine effect. Vaccines with purified partial components of the antigens are generally less effective and require the addition of an adjuvant.
