Lactiplantibacillus plantarum — increases
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.Finding“After 6 weeks of administration, grip strength in the TWK10‐HK group was significantly increased by 1.12‐fold (p = 0.0002) and 1.09‐fold (p = 0.0140) in the right and left hands, respectively, compared to that seen in the Control group.”
