Enhancing research, Lallemand designed a pilot study performed on 11 healthy adults with elevated level of cholesterol. Participants in this study took S. boulardii CNCM I-1079 probiotic strain twice daily, for eight weeks.
- Remnant lipoprotein particles P (RLP-P) significantly decreased by 15.5%, over the 8-week period (p=0.03).
- Low level of RLP-P is a biomarker for good cardiovascular health.
