Importance of Everyday Probiotic Support
“Good” microbes we consume from the diet — also known as probiotics — can play a critical role in a number of human health aspects. When consumed in clinically researched amounts, probiotics can provide wellness benefits, which include healthy immune system support and gut composition. They live amongst us as part of our microbiota, many of these are introduced to our bodies from the environment.
Probiotics have different target uses depending on species, strain, and added components such as prebiotics. Unique probiotic actions are demonstrated in a narrow number of strains in clinical studies.4 Probiotics can also be combined with prebiotic to create a product termed “synbiotic” that brings the best both these components have to offer.8
How Prebiotic Inulin Supports Gut Health
The prebiotic fiber in ProSynbiotic, inulin, is a naturally occurring storage polysaccharide in some plants. When consumed by people, it can selectively stimulate growth and/or activity of several health-stimulating intestinal bacteria.6 It also cannot be digested by human intestinal enzymes; it passes the mouth, stomach, and small intestine without being metabolized.5 This is important because, by resisting digestion, it is able to reach the large intestine where it can positively interact with microbes.
How Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) Support the Gut Microbial Environment
The LAB in ProSynbiotic include: Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus paracasei. While lactic acid bacteria (LAB) make up a relatively small fraction of the native human gut microbiota, they are widely held as excellent probiotics because they can benefit the gut microbial environment through multiple mechanisms.9,10
B. lactis is a bacterium found in the colon. In a study that looked at 4 weeks of supplementation with 1 billion CFU/d of Bifidobacterium lactis, it was shown to support normal bowel regularity.14
L. acidophilus is a bacterium found in the intestine where it ferments glucose into lactic and acetic acids.15 These substances make the gut environment more acidic and help balance the microbiome.
L. paracasei is a bacterium found in the gut where it produces lactic and acetic acid. Some strains have been shown to break down prebiotics such as inulin to produce SCFAs.
How Probiotic Yeast Supports Healthy Immune System Response
S. boulardii is a probiotic yeast that can support proper intestinal permeability. In recent studies, support for proper intestinal permeability was observed in patients given Saccharomyces boulardii at a dose of 1.6 × 109 CFU/d for 4 months.16, 17 Additionally, oral intake of S. boulardii has also been associated with positive microbiome/immune system benefits based on microbiome composition.18
ProSynbiotic includes two billion CFU of S. boulardii per serving, consistent with evidence that supports a potentially beneficial effect on immune system response function and supporting normal bowel regularity.14, 16-18
Frequently Asked Questions
A synbiotic is a mixture comprising live microorganisms and substrate(s) selectively utilized by host microorganisms that confers a health benefit on the host. We include with our formulation a prebiotic that comes from chicory root that is known to deliver fermentable energy to bacteria since our bodies don’t possess the ability to break down that material.

Taking probiotics 30 minutes before a meal or with food can minimize the acid that is acquired while the probiotics are moving through the stomach helping to further increase survival.

Yes, but note that these are live and active cultures so when they are added to foods with available water the microbes can begin to grow and ferment material. The capsule itself can have some impact on the survival of the probiotics, but these species are all resistant to acid and bile making them ideal to be consumed to make it to the GI intact.

Not necessarily, the daily dose is important. For ProSynbiotic our base recommendation is that the serving would be taken all at once.

All of the probiotics are acid tolerant so they should be consumable whenever is convenient, but the more neutral pH may have some ability to increase survivability therefore we could recommend 30 minutes before acid stimulation or introduction by food or supplement (like Zypan).
