Formulation Analysis
What exactly is inside the capsule? We map the proprietary blend back to specific compounds, citing half-lives and absorption rates based on the 2023 Gastroenterology Index.
Active Compounds
Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG)
50 Billion CFUOne of the most widely studied probiotic strains, known for its ability to survive stomach acid and adhere to intestinal walls.
Clinical Note: A 2021 meta-analysis involving 1,200 patients showed a 42% reduction in antibiotic-associated diarrhea when dosed above 20 billion CFU.
Inulin (Chicory Root Extract)
200 mgA prebiotic fiber that serves as fuel for beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacteria.
Absorption Profile: Fermented in the large intestine. Low doses (under 5g) are generally well-tolerated, avoiding the rapid gas production seen in higher doses.
Common Mistakes in Dosing
- Taking with hot beverages, which denatures the live strains.
- Inconsistent daily timing; clinical models suggest morning dosing on an empty stomach yields highest survival rates through gastric acid.
