Take care of your health with LPG1
Lactiplantibacillus pentosus LPG1 is the only plant-based probiotic with scientific evidence and multifunctional properties that can help improve your health and well-being.
Designed to fortify or ferment foods
A natural, stable, safe, healthy, and multifunctional probiotic, especially for use in plant-based foods and beverages.
- Formulated as a microencapsulated product, LPG1 can be used to fortify a wide variety of foods and beverages. Guacamole, hummus, pâtés, juices, and infusions are just a few real-life examples.
- Formulated as a lyophilized product, LPG1 has demonstrated excellent fermentation capacity for a wide range of plant-based products, including table olives, kimchi, pickles, soy, oat, and rice beverages, among others.
At the forefront of biotechnology
Developed with the latest microencapsulation technology, LPG1 is a unique strain on the market, as the microcapsule protecting the probiotic increases its viability to heat treatment (pasteurization), its survival during the food's shelf life, and gastrointestinal transit, allowing its selective release in the human intestine.
