LATILACTOBACILLUS SAKEI Overview Information
Latilactobacillus sakei (L. sakei) is a type of probiotic ("good" bacteria) found naturally in the human body. It's also found in fermented foods.
"Good" bacteria such as L. sakei might help the body break down food, absorb nutrients, and fight off "bad" organisms that might cause diseases. These bacteria are sometimes added to fermented foods like yogurt and also found in dietary supplements.
People use L. sakei for eczema, obesity, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Don't confuse L. sakei with other probiotics, or with fermented food products such as fermented milk, kefir, or yogurt. These are not the same. Also note that L. sakei used to be classified under the Lactobacillus genus. But Lactobacillus was split up into 25 different genera in April 2020. Some product labels might still list this species as Lactobacillus sakei rather than its new name, Latilactobacillus sakei.
