Lactobacillus paracasei is an obligate heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium isolated from a wide range of sources, including plant-based fermented foods and fermented milk products. It has attracted attention for its immune-modulating activity. This product contains a purified extracellular vesicle (EV) fraction obtained by ultrafiltration of the culture supernatant of Lactobacillus paracasei. This lactic acid bacterium was independently isolated, cultured, and identified by Professor Akihiro Yamaguchi and laboratory student Kurumi Kameda of the Laboratory of Applied Microbiology, Rakuno Gakuen University, from on-campus plant materials and Hokkaido-produced ingredients. The electron micrograph was taken by Professor Tomohito Iwasaki of the Laboratory of Applied Biochemistry at the same university.
