Visbiome High Potency Probiotic
Visbiome contains the 'De Simone Formulation,' which is the most heavily researched probiotic blend in the world for IBS, UC, and pouchitis. It is a medical-grade probiotic that maintains a strict cold chain to ensure potency.
Quality & Materials
8 strains of live bacteria including L. acidophilus, B. infantis, and S. thermophilus. Contains no dairy, gluten, or soy.
Evidence & Testing
Backed by over 70 human clinical trials. It is listed in the AGA guidelines for the management of Pouchitis.
Brand Transparency
Fully transparent about the De Simone Formulation. They provide temperature monitoring during shipping to ensure the product didn't overheat.
Value Assessment
High price point, but the dosage of live bacteria is exponentially higher than standard consumer probiotics, making it the gold standard for therapeutic use.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most probiotics contain 1-10 billion CFU; Visbiome contains 112.5 billion CFU per capsule. It is the original formulation that was previously sold as VSL#3 before a legal dispute, making it superior to current VSL#3 versions which changed their manufacturing process.
