This probiotic mixture is a high-potency probiotic supplement designed to "recolonize" the human gut. It wasn't just created in a lab. The scientists analyzed the microbiota of healthy people (those chosen as donors for fecal transplants) and tried to replicate that ideal "bacterial mix" in a capsule. It combines 9 different strains of beneficial bacteria with inulin, a fiber that acts as "food" for these microbes (this combination is called a synbiotic). To make sure the bacteria actually reach the gut without being destroyed by stomach acid, they are packed into special delayed-release capsules. It is mainly used when the intestinal ecosystem is out of balance: dysbiosis. This usually happens after taking antibiotics, during periods of high stress, or in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), bloating, and irregular digestion. It’s a gluten-free and lactose-free supplement.

Abstract

This probiotic mixture is a high-potency probiotic supplement designed to "recolonize" the human gut. It wasn't just created in a lab. The scientists analyzed the microbiota of healthy people (those chosen as donors for fecal transplants) and tried to replicate that ideal "bacterial mix" in a capsule. It combines 9 different strains of beneficial bacteria with inulin, a fiber that acts as "food" for these microbes (this combination is called a synbiotic). To make sure the bacteria actually reach the gut without being destroyed by stomach acid, they are packed into special delayed-release capsules. It is mainly used when the intestinal ecosystem is out of balance: dysbiosis. This usually happens after taking antibiotics, during periods of high stress, or in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), bloating, and irregular digestion. It’s a gluten-free and lactose-free supplement.
