Fundamental Research
for Lactobacillus casei Shirota
Here we share some of the fundamental research behind the probiotic strain, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Shirota (LcS).
Survival of LcS
Survival through the gastrointestinal tract is considered a key characteristic of a probiotic strain. The strongest evidence for survival is detection of the strain in faeces after consumption.

Modulation by LcS
Studies have shown that LcS consumption not only increases the presence of LcS in the gastrointetsinal tract, but also modulates the resident microbiota.
