Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a diverse species of lactic bacterium found in a wide range of ecological niches including plant substrates, meat, milk, as well as in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. Lactic bacteria are gram-positive, oxygen-tolerant anaerobes that have been used in food fermentation for hundreds of years. [1]
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is "generally recognized as safe". [2] and included in the "qualified presumption of safety" list of the European Food Safety Authority. [3]
A study on Rett syndrome patients found that probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum PS128 supplementation was safe, well-tolerated, and showed promising improvements in cognitive development and dystonia, suggesting potential as a complementary therapy for Rett syndrome. [4]
