Compare every Lactobacillus Plantarum product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.
We rank Lactobacillus Plantarum by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Lactobacillus Plantarum is a probiotic, which is a friendly bacteria that provides health benefits when added to the diet. This specific strain is naturally found in fermented plants and the human digestive tract.
It is primarily used to support gut barrier health. This means it helps maintain the lining of the intestines, which acts as a filter to keep harmful substances from leaking into the bloodstream.
To create the supplement, the bacteria are grown in large industrial tanks filled with a nutrient-rich broth. Once the bacteria have multiplied, they are separated from the liquid and freeze-dried into a stable powder. This powder is then put into capsules or sachets to keep the bacteria alive until they are consumed.
This ingredient is generally affordable. This is because the bacteria are easy to grow in large quantities and there is a high level of global supply and competition among manufacturers.
