Probiotics for sport

Probiotics to Stay Ahead of The Game

Market trend analysts report that, not only trained athletes, but a growing number of active people include sports nutrition and dietary food supplements in their diet. One third of sports nutrition users look for the name ‘probiotics’ on their sport supplement label before buying them. Probiotics have been acknowledged by the International Society for Sports Nutrition (ISSN) in a published position paper for their beneficial effects on athletes to optimize their wellbeing [Jäger 2019].

Their demonstrated modes of action have shown to support natural defenses, antioxidant properties, maintain the gut barrier integrity, improve amino acid absorption, and decrease occasional stress through the gut-brain axis. Discover Lallemand Health Solutions’ offer for sports nutrition, including L. helveticus Lafti® L10, specifically documented on athletes. This strain is the first probiotic specifically studied in a clinical trial with athletic volunteers.

Since 2006, six papers have been published showing that L. helveticus Lafti® L10 was statistically significant in supporting an immune response which is normally lowered by exercise. We offer practical and adapted dosage formats for on-the-go sportspeople with attractive, naturally sourced flavors and compatible ingredients for an extra kick.
