1. A method for increasing blood bioavailability of at least one amino acid from a protein of plant origin in a subject, the method comprising
administering to a vegetarian or vegan subject taking through oral route,
said protein of plant origin,
said at least one amino acid, and/or
a peptide of plant origin comprising said at least one amino acid,
a composition comprising a mixture comprising
at least one bacterial strain, or a derivative thereof, the at least one bacterial strain selected from:
a bacterial strain belonging to the species Lactobacillus paracasei identified as Lactobacillus paracasei DG and deposited at the National Collection of Cultures of Microorganisms of the Pasteur Institute in Paris under the accession number CNCM I-1572, and
a bacterial strain belonging to the species Lactobacillus paracasei identified as Lactobacillus paracasei LPC-S01 and deposited at Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) under accession number DSM 26760, or
a mixture thereof, and the derivative thereof selected from at least one tyndallized bacterial strain, at least one sonicated bacterial strain, at least one inactivated bacterial strain, at least one lysate of bacterial strain, at least one paraprobiotic of bacterial strain, at least one postbiotics of bacterial strain or a mixture thereof,
alone or in combination with
a bacterial strain belonging to the species Bifidobacterium breve identified as Bifidobacterium breve BbIBS01 and deposited at Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) under deposit number DSM 33231,
a bacterial strain belonging to the species Bifidobacterium breve identified as Bifidobacterium breve BbIBS02 and deposited at Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) under deposit number DSM 33232,
a bacterial strain belonging to the species Bifidobacterium animalis identified as Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BIIBS01 and deposited at Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) under deposit number DSM 33233,
a bacterial strain belonging to the species Lactobacillus plantarum identified as Lactobacillus plantarum LpIBS01 and deposited at Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) under deposit number DSM 33234, and
a mixture thereof,
the administering performed to increase blood bioavailability of the at least one amino acid derived from a protein of plant origin in the vegetarian or vegan subject.
