VSL#3 IBS Probiotics - See How VSL#3 IBS Probiotics Can Work For You

Causes of Gut Issues

01

Your digestive tract contains trillions of bacteria, usually good ones, that keep you healthy.

People with IBS, UC or common gut issues may have more bad bacteria than good, leading to discomfort and anxiety. IBS symptoms may come and go and can include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, cramps and diarrhea.

IBS Symptoms

Abdominal Pain

The pain of IBS can be described in many different ways, and it always stems from abdominal discomfort. These could be quite sharp pains, which can sometimes feel worse than other types depending on their their location on your gut. Persistent upper or lower abdominal pain and cramps are very common.

Diarrhea

Happens when you have predominantly loose or watery stools, with frequent, often unpredictable bowel movements. When diarrhea is predominant it's diagnosed as IBS-D, and bloating often comes along.

Bloating / Gas

Many people with IBS experience excessive gassiness. Bloating can be experienced progressively during the day, with a relatively flat abdomen in the morning becoming distended after a few hours. It can also happen suddenly, within minutes, although less common.

Constipation

Most of your stool becomes hard and lumpy, with changes in bowel movement that make you to feel like you can't pass on your stools. When constipation is predominant it's diagnosed as IBS-C, and abdominal discomfort often comes along.

Cramps

IBS pain is often described as cramping. It can also be burning, stabbing, or aching in nature.

IBS-M

IBS-M shares the same symptoms described above for constipation and diarrhea. The main difference with IBS-M is that these symptoms alternate.

UC Symptoms

Rectal Bleeding

It's the most prevalent UC symptom. Because the rectum is at the end of the large intestine, blood will be quite visible. In most cases, the bleeding is slow and steady.

Inflammation

It starts at the lower end of the colon, just above the anus, and extends upward and continuously, with distances that may vary. The inflammation will often cause ulcers.

Diarrhea

Happens when you have predominantly loose or watery stools, with frequent, often unpredictable bowel movements. In UC, the diarrhea is often accompanied by blood.

Abdominal Pain

In UC the pain will be resulting from the condition's inflammatory process, and it will usually be felt as an intense sensation of squeezing and releasing in your gut. The more inflammation, the more pain you will feel.

Fatigue

Fatigue can be felt quite commonly in UC. It is beyond just a normal feeling of being tired, and can often come in waves, with unpredictable patterns. It can affect both your work and social life in significant ways.

How Probiotics Help

02

When used as part of your daily diet plan, probiotics:

Create a Better Balance

Create a better balance by adding good bacteria to help control the bad bacteria.

Protect & Strengthen

Help protect and strengthen natural intestinal barriers so bad bacteria won't stick and irritate the digestive tract.

Optimize Immune Response

Reduce the immune response caused by bad bacteria.

Multi-Strain

03

Data suggests that more bacteria diversity leads to better gut health.

VSL#3® contains 8 strains of bacteria from 3 different genera.

Streptococcus thermophilus

is a Gram-positive, anaerobic lactic acid bacterium, which is a principal component of the natural flora of several food types and has a long history of safe use. As such, this organism has been consumed for millennia and is generally considered to be non-pathogenic and non-toxigenic.

Bifidobacterium breve

is a Gram-positive, anaerobic lactic acid bacterium that is a normal inhabitant of the human gastrointestinal tract. B. breve has a history of safe use in foods since 1980. B. breve is a common inhabitant of the human intestine, particularly in infants. This bacterial species is considered to be non-pathogenic and non-toxigenic

Bifidobacterium lactis*

is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium. B. lactis species is one of the dominant microbiota of human gastrointestinal tract. *Previously classified as B. longum

Bifidobacterium lactis*

is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium. B. lactis species is one of the dominant microbiota of human gastrointestinal tract. *Previously classified as B. infantis

Lactobacillus acidophilus

is a non-pathogenic, non-toxigenic, Gram-positive, anaerobic lactic acid bacterium that is a normal inhabitant of the human gastrointestinal tract. L. acidophilus has a history of safe use in fermented foods and probiotics since 1950.

Lactobacillus plantarum

is a Gram-positive anaerobic lactic acid bacterium that is a normal inhabitant of plant material and has a history of safe use in food since 1965. L. plantarum is a common inhabitant of the human intestine, in both infants and adults.

Lactobacillus helveticus*

is a non-pathogenic, non-toxigenic, non-spore-forming Gram-positive lactic acid bacterium with a long history of use in food production since 1930 *Previously classified as L. delbrueckii

Lactobacillus paracasei

is a Gram-positive, anaerobic lactic acid bacterium that has a history of safe use in food since 1970. L. paracasei is a common inhabitant of the human gastrointestinal tract. L. paracasei is generally considered to be non-pathogenic and non-toxigenic

High Potency

04

CFU represents the number of good colony-forming units.

Scientists believe that higher potency probiotics allow more good and live bacteria to make it to your gut.

When choosing a probiotic, consider strain diversity, and higher CFU count throughout expiration.
