NCIt definition : A nutritional supplement containing a strain of the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus
plantarum 299v (Lp 299v) with potential antimicrobial, immune-boosting, and anti-inflammatory
activities. Upon oral ingestion, L. plantarum strain 299v adheres to the intestinal
mucosa, modulates the composition of the normal microflora, helps maintain adequate
colonization of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and improves digestion and metabolism.
Upon colonization of the GI tract, the probiotic may form a protective barrier, thereby
preventing attachment of pathogens, protecting against infections and boosting the
immune system. In addition, Lp 299v stimulates the secretion of protective mucin and
produces lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide as well as other substances, thereby creating
an acidic environment which prevents growth of pathogens.;
