Ingredient Spotlight: Floradapt proBio-65 Lactobacillus sakei

Lactobacillus sakei is a lactic acid bacteria strain isolated from traditional Korean fermented vegetables, kimchi.

A range of bacteria are involved in the kimchi fermentation process, with Lactobacillus being one of the major species. Of the various strains of this bacterium, Lactobacillus sakei proBio-65, exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus growth in preliminary experiments. It also induced immunological and clinical improvements in both human and animal studies.

Results from a double-blind, randomized clinical trial suggest that L. sakei proBio-65-containing emollients provide improvements in skin barrier function as well as positive immunological effects against atopic dermatitis.

The skin microbiome of pets encompasses a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, coexisting on their skin’s surface. This skin microbiome is pivotal for pet skin health by assisting with…
