Lactococcus lactis strain Plasma (LC-Plasma) is a clinically studied postbiotic known for enhancing immunity, boosting work performance, and promoting skin health. Its unique strength is activating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs)—key immune regulators that stimulate B, T, and natural killer (NK) cells. These cells are essential for fighting infections, particularly by producing antiviral interferons (type I & III).
Unlike many probiotics, LC-Plasma remains effective whether live or heat-killed, as its DNA drives its benefits. This makes it ideal for functional foods and supplements. Clinical trials show that 100 billion cells daily can enhance immune responses, reduce cold symptoms, and lessen fatigue after physical exertion, making it especially useful for active individuals and athletes.
A separate study among office workers found that four weeks of LC-Plasma intake reduced infection risk and improved productivity, thanks to stronger immune resilience.
LC-Plasma also contributes to skin health. It helps prevent skin infections by boosting systemic immunity and supports a balanced skin microbiome, which protects against acne and irritation. Moreover, it positively influences skin-related gene activity, improving the skin’s barrier and overall condition.
Given its multifunctional benefits, LC-Plasma is an exciting postbiotic for modern lifestyles—easily added to drinks, capsules, or foods. As interest in immune, skin, and gut wellness rises, LC-Plasma stands out as a powerful, research-backed ingredient in the future of functional nutrition.
