How to take
Adults take 1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes before a meal; if sensitive, you may take with a small snack to improve comfort.
Ingredients explained
Saccharomyces boulardii
This probiotic yeast may help crowd out undesirable microbes and produce beneficial compounds that support a balanced gut environment.
Caution: May cause gas or bloating at first; start with food if sensitive to ease tolerance.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
This well-studied probiotic strain can adhere to intestinal cells and produce lactic acid, supporting a healthy microbial balance.
Caution: Those with sensitive stomachs may notice temporary gas or changes in bowel habits as the gut adjusts.
Bacillus subtilis HU58
This spore-forming probiotic survives gastric acid and may germinate in the intestine to support microbial diversity.
Caution: Spores are generally well tolerated, but start with the suggested serving to monitor tolerance.
Bacillus coagulans SC208
This spore-forming probiotic produces lactic acid in the gut, which may help maintain a favorable pH for beneficial bacteria.
Caution: May cause mild digestive changes as the microbiome adapts.
Prebiotic Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex (from Citrus sinensis and Citrus paradisi)
Citrus bioflavonoids may act as prebiotics and polyphenols that beneficial microbes can utilize, supporting growth of friendly bacteria.
Caution: Contains citrus-derived components; avoid if you have known citrus sensitivity.
How they work together
Probiotic strains and yeast supply live beneficial microbes, while spore-formers add hardier organisms that reach the intestines intact. The citrus bioflavonoid complex provides polyphenols that beneficial bacteria can use, helping the introduced strains establish and thrive.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.

Those with weakened immune systems or who are immunocompromised should discuss probiotic use with a healthcare provider.

Overview

- Dietary Supplement
Providing quality products since 2001.
Your gut flora – also called your microbiome – influences your overall health, including your immune response, digestive function, weight, sleep quality, mood and cognitive function.
A healthy microbiome depends on having the proper balance between beneficial bacteria and pathogenic bacteria. When your gut flora falls out of balance, the lining of your intestinal barrier can become compromised and expose you to negative health effects.
The most powerful forces that work to disrupt or destroy your gut flora can be divided up into three categories:
- Exposure to substances that upset the balance of or destroys beneficial gut bacteria, such as chlorine, fluoride, sugar and processed foods.
- Lack of nutrients to optimize and support beneficial microbes in your gut, including healthy live bacteria from cultured foods and soil-based organisms (SBOs) to help recondition your gut.
- Stress, which can hinder the production of enzymes and absorption of nutrients, reduce oxygen levels and increase intestinal permeability.
