To date,no adverse side effects have been reported in the scientific literature following supplementation with B. coagulans. Studies confirm it is very well-tolerated and has no mutagenic or genotoxic characteristics (12).

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a benign but debilitating condition of the digestive system thought to affect 10%-15% of the global population. It is characterised by chronic stomach aches and abdominal cramps, impaired intestinal transit and bloating.

A number of theories have been suggested to explain this digestive dysfunction, including problematic intestinal motility and visceral hypersensitivity. However, disruption to microbiota balance, which would make the intestinal barrier more permeable to pro-inflammatory molecules, seems an increasingly plausible explanation (13).

We recommend taking 2 capsules a day (equivalent to 4 billion microorganisms) with a large glass of water. In general, it is best to take probiotics in the 30 minutes preceding a meal or with a light meal or snack.

Important: we strongly recommend keeping this probiotic refrigerated.
