Yes, our prebiotic tablets contain scFOS. Our probiotic capsules do not contain scFOS.

Our Microbiome Plus+ Gastrointestinal Combo (Probiotic L. Reuteri NCIMB 30242 & Prebiotic scFOS Fiber) may be more suitable for people who don’t have an issue with FODMAPs. Prebiotics act in synergy with probiotics. You can get it here.

The probiotic without the combo (Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242) is without short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS).

The probiotic included in our combo was researched in people with IBS, so it’s considered to be “IBS safe.”

Nonetheless, FODMAPs tend to cause problems in some people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The probiotic only (without the prebiotic) may be more suitable for people who don’t tolerate FODMAPs (fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols).

Microbiome Plus+ Prebiotic scFOS Fiber is also available as a separate product here. You can try adding it to the probiotic if you’re not sure what’s right for you.

If you have IBS or don’t tolerate FODMAPs, please talk to a doctor. Have in mind that this product is not a treatment for your condition.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a food-grade, plant-based polymer. It’s used to encapsulate the probiotic in a vegan delayed-release capsule. This innovative technology helps live probiotics in our formulation resist stomach acid and reach the colon. Without HPMC, live probiotics would be killed by stomach acid. Read more about our delayed-release technology here.

Yes, our prebiotic tablets contain scFOS. Our probiotic capsules do not contain scFOS.

Yes, our probiotics contain live cultures. They are third-party tested for quality. 

Each capsule contains 3.5×10⁹ CFU of Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242.

Independent peer-reviewed research has also validated this.

This is possible, but you would need to follow careful steps to start the fermentation process.

If you tried adding probiotic powder to milk and didn’t see any change, it’s not because the product doesn’t contain live bacteria. Not all Lactobacillus probiotics grow in milk the same way, and there are various scientific studies dedicated to the topic.

Our strain was specifically selected, developed, and grown in the lab without milk. That means it may need time to adapt to a dairy environment. Scientists tested this out. They showed that Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242 can ferment milk along with a yogurt starter, but its growth was limited.

For this reason, we recommend taking our probiotics as capsules. This ensures that you’ll get the dosage and formulation that was clinically researched.

But if you’re really into yogurt making, give this topic some in-depth research. You may want to Google “how to make lactobacillus reuteri yogurt” and run your own experiments. We can’t guarantee any results.

Our prebiotic and probiotic combo is a good choice for adults looking to naturally support digestion, colon health, and LDL and total cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.

Also, healthy people who are looking to maintain immune health and vitamin D levels that are already in the normal range may benefit from our combo.

Microbiome Plus+ probiotics are meant for both men and women who want to support their gut microbiome, weight management, nutrient balance along with a healthy diet, and overall well-being.

The synbiotic combination in our formula is safe for most people with IBS, but check with your doctor if you’re not sure.

Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242 and scFOS are safe to consume daily for most people. Our probiotic has been granted Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

L. reuteri probiotics have a long history of safe use in traditional fermented foods.
