MADE OF:

Leucidal® SF Max Powder is a probiotic-based ingredient derived from the controlled fermentation of Lactobacillus in a carefully defined growth medium. As a member of the lactic acid bacteria family, Lactobacillus is commonly used in the fermentation of foods like kimchi and sauerkraut.

Beyond its natural acidifying properties, which inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, Lactobacillus also produces antimicrobial peptides known as bacteriocins. These peptides offer robust, broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection. During the fermentation process, lysozyme is introduced to the ferment filtrate, triggering targeted cell lysis and enhancing the release of these antimicrobial peptides for maximum efficacy.

This innovative development positions Leucidal® SF Max Powder as a powerful and natural antimicrobial agent, with promising applications across a wide range of industries.
