About





            

                
Lactobacillus plantarum produces antimicrobial bacteriocins and supports intestinal barrier function. A double-blind RCT found L. plantarum HY7714 (10 billion CFU/day for 12 weeks) significantly improved skin hydration, reduced wrinkle depth, and increased skin elasticity in women aged 41-59.

            

        

        

        
        
        

            

  
How It Works





            

                
Produces antimicrobial bacteriocins; supports intestinal barrier function by upregulating tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin); modulates skin immune responses through gut-skin axis; specific strains (L. plantarum HY7714) shown to improve skin hydration and reduce wrinkle depth.
