Swanson Probiotic for Digestive Health helps support digestion with 16 carefully selected strains so you can feel your best. Your digestive tract is a diverse ecosystem, home to billions of microorganisms. The “good ones,” known as probiotics, provide valuable support for healthy digestion, immune function and many other vital processes throughout the body. Probiotics help establish and maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the GI tract by increasing the population of beneficial strains. Prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS), enhance this activity by supporting probiotic organisms to ensure that they thrive.
The 16 strains found in Swanson Probiotic for Digestive Health were carefully selected based on their specific roles in supporting digestive health. For example, it features 9 strains of Lactobacillus, including L. acidophilus, one of the most extensively researched strains when it comes to digestive health, and L. rhamnosus, which provides invaluable GI tract protection for travelers. Commonly found in fermented foods like sauerkraut and kefir, these lactic acid producing bacteria aid in the breakdown of lactose and other sugars, reducing gassiness to support intestinal comfort. The formula also includes five Bifidobacterium strains, which work in harmony with L. casei, L. reuteri, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactococcus lactis to support digestive function throughout the alimentary canal. Combined they constitute a broad-spectrum source of support for digestive health.

FAQ
- What Do Probiotics Do?
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that help support a healthy balance of bacteria in the digestive tract. By helping maintain a balanced gut microbiome, probiotics support digestive health, gastrointestinal wellness, and overall well-being. Many people incorporate probiotics into their daily routines to help support normal digestive function and a healthy gut environment. - What Are CFUs in Probiotic Supplements?
CFU stands for Colony Forming Units, a measurement used to indicate the number of viable probiotic microorganisms in a supplement. CFUs help consumers understand the potency of a probiotic product and the amount of beneficial bacteria provided in each serving. The CFU count listed on a product label represents the quantity of live microorganisms the supplement is designed to deliver. - How Many CFUs Do I Need?
The ideal number of CFUs depends on the specific probiotic strains, product formulation, and individual wellness goals. Higher CFU counts are not always better, as different probiotic strains have unique characteristics and intended uses. Choosing a high-quality probiotic supplement and following the suggested serving size on the product label can help support your daily digestive wellness routine. - What Are the Side Effects of Probiotic Supplements?
Probiotic supplements are generally well tolerated when used as directed. Some individuals may experience mild digestive changes, such as temporary gas, bloating, or digestive discomfort when first introducing probiotics into their routine. These effects are typically mild and temporary. As with any dietary supplement, individuals with medical conditions or those taking medications should consult a healthcare provider before use. - Is Swanson Probiotics Bacillus Coagulans Suitable for Special Diets?
Yes. Swanson Probiotics Bacillus Coagulans is vegan and made with non-GMO ingredients, making it a convenient choice for individuals seeking a probiotic supplement that aligns with these dietary preferences. Always review the product label for the most current ingredient, allergen, and dietary information before use.
