WHAT IT IS / WHAT IT DOES

Flora-Matrix Postbiotics combines two heat-treated bacterial strains selected for their potential effects on immune and gastrointestinal function.

1. What Are Postbiotics?

Postbiotics are preparations of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that provide a demonstrated health benefit.

Unlike probiotics, postbiotics do not need to contain living microorganisms.

They may include heat-treated bacterial cells and associated microbial components.

Important distinction: Postbiotics are not necessarily purified metabolites or direct sources of butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids.

2. Immuno-LP20® – Heat-Treated L. plantarum L-137

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L-137 is a heat-treated bacterial strain used in Immuno-LP20®.

It has been studied for its potential influence on immune signalling and normal immune responses.

Research has explored effects on certain immune markers and respiratory illness outcomes.

However, these findings do not establish that the finished product prevents influenza, colds or other infections.

3. Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MCC1849

This heat-treated strain has been investigated for its potential role in supporting normal immune function.

Studies have examined immune responses and certain respiratory symptom outcomes in specific populations.

Results from individual studies should not be interpreted as guaranteed benefits for all users.

4. Gut–Immune System Connection

The gastrointestinal tract contains a substantial proportion of the body’s immune-associated tissues.

Microbial components can interact with immune pathways in the intestinal environment.

Flora-Matrix provides a targeted combination of heat-treated microorganisms intended to support this relationship.

5. How Postbiotics Differ from Probiotics

Feature	Postbiotics	Probiotics
Live Microorganisms Required	No	Yes
Primary Material	Inanimate Microorganisms and/or Components	Live Microorganisms
Depend on Live-Culture Survival	No	Yes
Require Colonization	No	Not Necessarily
Potential Immune Interactions	Strain-Specific	Strain-Specific
Potential Digestive Benefits	Preparation-Specific	Strain-Specific

Both approaches may have a place in microbiome-focused wellness routines, but their effects depend on the specific ingredients and supporting evidence.

Understanding the Ingredients

Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MCC1849

A specific heat-treated bacterial strain studied for potential immune-supporting properties.

Immuno-LP20®

A branded preparation containing heat-treated Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L-137.

This strain has been investigated for its interaction with immune signalling pathways.

Why Are Postbiotics Measured in Milligrams?

Unlike conventional live probiotics, which are typically measured in colony-forming units (CFU), heat-treated bacterial preparations may be measured by weight.

Because the microorganisms are no longer living, CFU counts are not an appropriate measure of their intended activity.

NON-MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS

• Vegetable-Grade Magnesium Stearate
• Ascorbic Acid
• Acacia (Fibregum™)
• Maltodextrin
• Hypromellose (Vegetable Capsule Shell)
