Lactobacillus paracasei

A hearty probiotic strain that supports seasonal immune resilience, healthy skin, and smooth digestion.

What it is

Lactobacillus paracasei is a beneficial lactic acid bacterium found naturally in yoghurt and healthy human guts. It is well known for surviving tough digestive conditions. In Velobiotics formulas, a special micro-shield protects each bacterium from stomach acid so it arrives safely in your bowel.

Also known as: L. paracasei, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei

Key benefits

  • Supports balanced immune responses to seasonal environmental triggers.
  • Helps maintain hydrated, healthy skin from the inside out.
  • Strengthens your gut wall, keeping your natural defence barrier intact.
  • Promotes regular digestion, so your tummy feels comfortable daily.

Amplified by probiotics

Lactobacillus paracasei works in harmony with other probiotic strains in your digestive system. It ferments plant sugars into lactic acid, creating an ideal environment that encourages good bacteria while crowding out unwanted microbes. Protected by a micro-shield during digestion, live L. paracasei reaches your lower gut intact to support immune health and skin resilience.

Typical dose

1–10 billion live bacteria (CFU) a day
