LP_LDL®,
The Probiotic To Support
Heart Health

Developed by leading cardiovascular
health experts

Lactobacillus plantarum LP_LDL (ECGC13110402) is a trademarked and patented naturally occurring strain (originally isolated from tomatoes) of the probiotic bacterial genus Lactobacillus.

LP_LDL is a probiotic that supports cardiovascular health and provides a scientifically supported and clinically tested approach to reduce LDL cholesterol and systolic blood pressure levels by regulating the metabolism of bile salts.

Using ProBiotix’s OptiScreen® proprietary technology platform, LP_LDL was discovered from a collection of over 4,000 microbial candidates based on its outstanding capacity to hydrolyse bile salts and reduce cholesterol. This activity is crucial for bacterial survival in the harsh conditions of the intestine and mediates LP_LDL’s mechanism of action.

WHAT ARE PROBIOTICS?

“Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”

WHO/ FAO, 2001

MECHANISM OF ACTION

‘The ability to reduce both LDL-C and blood pressure has a multiplicative effect in reducing cardiovascular risk’

European Society of Cardiology, August 2016

Lactobacillus plantarum LP_LDL
mechanism of action

Bile salts are synthesised in the liver from cholesterol, of which 90% are recycled between the intestine and the liver
LP_LDL disrupts this cycle which leads to a decrease in bile salt reabsorption
This forces the liver to pull cholesterol from the blood stream to replenish and maintain stable bile salt levels
Cholesterol in the blood decreases as a result of this
The reduction in cholesterol within the bloodstream circulation subsequently helps to lowers blood pressure

Cardiovascular health, a
global problem

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally: more people die annually from CVDs than from any other cause.

Elevated cholesterol, especially LDL cholesterol, alongside blood pressure are major cardiovascular disease risk factors. It is well accepted that by controlling such factors, up to 80% of cardiovascular diseases may be preventable. This leads to an increasing global need for a side effect free intervention like LP_LDL that can help tackle cardiovascular diseases utilising a scientifically supported approach.
