Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Lactobacillus pentosus has been studied as a probiotic with potential benefits for gastrointestinal health, including in the context of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The scientific evidence supporting its use for IBS is limited but emerging. A few small clinical trials and in vitro studies have suggested that certain strains of L. pentosus may help modulate the gut microbiota, enhance intestinal barrier function, and reduce inflammation, all of which are relevant to IBS pathology. For example, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) published in 2019 tested a multi-strain probiotic supplement containing L. pentosus and found some improvement in IBS symptoms, though L. pentosus was not used as a single agent, making it difficult to attribute the effect specifically to this species. Another animal study demonstrated that L. pentosus could alleviate visceral hypersensitivity and inflammation in a rat model of IBS. However, large-scale, high-quality human studies focusing specifically on L. pentosus monotherapy for IBS are lacking. Most evidence comes from combination probiotics or preclinical models. In summary, while there is some scientific basis for exploring L. pentosus in IBS management, the current evidence is preliminary, and more robust clinical trials are needed to establish its efficacy and safety.
