We selected only two active ingredients that work both individually and together. THE POWER OF SYNBIOTICS: Our science-based and clinically proven synbiotic formula relies on synergy and supports your overall health and well-being. Synbiotics are supplements that combine the power of probiotics and prebiotics, increasing each other’s benefits in the form of synergism.

Probiotics For Cholesterol, Recommended By Doctors
"I have been using MicroBiome Plus for several years. It has greatly benefitted my patients with gut problems and those with cardio metabolic issues as well.
— Dr. Deanna M. Cherrone, Natural Health and Healing Clinic
The oral supplement, lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242, is an award-winning, heart-healthy probiotic. L reuteri is clinically researched for supporting already normal LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and fibrinogen levels—factors that promote cardiovascular health.* L. reuteri benefits also support healthy gut microbiome diversity.
Maintain Healthy Gut Microbiome
Lactobacillus reuteri benefits also include an increase in mucin production. Mucin lines your gut, helping to protect your gut lining, repair any damage, and in general, to maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
Maintain Healthy Vitamin D Levels
It has been hypothesized that Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242 may help raise vitamin D levels in two ways. One such way is to boost lactic production in your gut. Lactic production can help absorb vitamin D. L reuteri can also help because it increases the production of 7-DHC — a compound that can be turned into vitamin D by your liver.
Lower Cholesterol
Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242 improves your heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol levels and improving your vitamin D production. Having and maintaining good cholesterol levels is integral for your health. The benefits of our Microbiome Plus L. reuteri NCIMB 30242 strain is backed by clinical studies and scientific research.
L. reuteri NCIMB 30242 has an enzyme called bile salt hydrolase (BSH). BSH helps to set bile acids free in a method known as deconjugating. Free bile acids reduce the body’s absorption of cholesterol in your gut by binding to the cholesterol, allowing elimination. Your liver then increases the production of new bile acids and your body subsequently breaks down more cholesterol.
Superior Quality
OurL. reuteri Our L. reuteri probiotic is backed by clinical trial results published in 7 peer-reviewed scientific studies. Each capsule contains 3.5 billion CFU and starts acting only once it reaches your colon. No surprises, just science.*
✔ GRAS: Our L. reuteri NCIMB 30242 is among the few probiotic strains granted Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It’s suitable for adult men and women of all ages.

Microbiome Plus+ Pre and Probiotics Benefits
NORMAL CHOLESTEROL & HEART HEALTH: Normal cholesterol levels are important for your cardiovascular system. Our Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242 probiotic provides clinically tested natural support for your already normal total and LDL cholesterol levels. It also helps sustain healthy levels of already normal C-reactive protein, apolipoprotein B-100, fibrinogen, and plant sterols. Normal levels of these factors support your heart, blood vessels, and blood clotting.
VITAMIN D: Our combo contains the only clinically researched probiotic strain that supports keeping already normal vitamin D blood levels in check. Normal vitamin D levels help build and maintain strong bones, absorb calcium in the gut, and balance immune health.
IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT: 80% of your immune system in your gut. By encouraging a healthy gut microbiome and already normal vitamin D levels, our probiotics and prebiotics contribute to optimal immune system function in healthy people.
WEIGHT CONTROL, BILE & COLON HEALTH: Our pre and probiotics help maintain a healthy gut lining, normal fat digestion, and optimal metabolism by freeing up bile acids. Normal levels of free bile acids may help strengthen the intestinal lining. A diverse microbiome supports the body in maintaining insulin sensitivity and healthy weight, along with diet and exercise.
DIGESTION, STOMACH & BLOATING RELIEF: Microbiome Plus+ probiotics and prebiotics assist good digestion, gastrointestinal health, and gut microbiome diversity. Gut microbiome dysbiosis has been linked with stomach discomfort, pain, and bloating.
BOWEL MOVEMENT SUPPORT: Our pre and probiotics work with your gut to encourage healthy bowel movements, optimal bowel function, and passage of stools. By helping maintain a strong intestinal lining, Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242 supports the body in preventing harmful organisms from crossing from the gut into the bloodstream. Prebiotics enhance its benefits.
IBS RELIEF: Our combo is IBS safe. Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242 supports normal bile acid levels, which encourages a balanced gut ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes in healthy people. People with IBD often have an imbalanced Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio, according to studies. Plus, we chose scFOS fiber because it was clinically researched for supporting microbiome health in people with IBS.

Faq's
Do Microbiome Plus+ probiotics need to be refrigerated?
No. Our probiotics are shelf stable and don’t need to be kept in the fridge.
No, Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242 does NOT contain scFOS.
Should I take this product or the gastrointestinal combo?
Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242 is without short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (scFOS). This product may be more suitable for people who don’t tolerate FODMAPs (fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols). FODMAPs tend to cause problems in some people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Our Microbiome Plus+ Gastrointestinal Combo (Probiotic L. Reuteri NCIMB 30242 & Prebiotic scFOS Fiber) can be purchased here. The combo may be more suitable for people who don’t have an issue with FODMAPs. Prebiotics act in synergy with probiotics. Microbiome Plus+ Prebiotic scFOS Fiber is also available as a separate product here. You can try adding it to the probiotic any time if you’re not sure what’s right for you.
Why do Microbiome Plus+ probiotics contain hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)?
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.
Why do Microbiome Plus+ probiotics contain gellan gum? Is gellan gum safe?
Gellan gum is used as part of our microencapsulation technology. It’s added to enhance the viability of probiotics.Gellan gum has been thoroughly researched for enhancing the delivery of live probiotics in various formulations. Please look up “Microencapsulation Improved Probiotics Survival During Gastric Transit.”Gellan gum has been extensively studied, tested, and proven to be safe for use in food for over 30 years. Scientists even tested the safety of gellan gum mega doses that would never be used in food (pounds in one meal) and concluded that it was non-toxic.Gellan gum is made using bacteria found in nature to ferment nutrients. It’s commonly added to many foods in small amounts (to create gels and add texture).As with many components of food, such as lactose or gluten, some people may have individual or unique sensitivities.The amount of gellan gum in our probiotic formulation is lower than that found in common foods.
Do Microbiome Plus+ probiotics contain live cultures?
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.
Can I grow milk with this probiotic?
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 probiotic 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.
Who Can Benefit from Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242?
Our probiotic is a good choice for adults looking to naturally support healthy LDL and total cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.Also, healthy people who like the digestive benefits of probiotics and are also looking to maintain immune health and vitamin D levels that are already in the normal range may benefit from Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242.Microbiome Plus+ probiotics are meant for both men and women who want to support their gut microbiome and overall health and well-being.
Is this product safe for everyone?
Microbiome Plus+ Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30242 is 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.Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under the age of 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any other dietary supplement. Do not take this supplement if you are allergic to any of the listed ingredients.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 298 reviews.
I didn't receive the package at all !!!
I filled the order with the address of one of my friends, but in the email confirming the order the shipment adress was mine, as extracted from my credit card I think, but the phone number was that of my friend. A mess
I asked imediately the change of the shippment address, but the answer from you was that it cannot be changed, since it was already shipped (5 minutes after the order!).
Since I had to leave for another country, I left somebody at home to receive it, but no package, nor information, by phone or email was received
As a consequence, I ask you for a refund for my failed purchase from your company
I look forward for hearing from you a positive answer
Sincerely,
Daniela Cristescu
There was recently a sale on the prebiotic/probiotic combo pack so I decided to stock up and have my husband join me in using it. I ordered a large supply in 7/26 and all of the prebiotics expire in 8/26. There should have been a limit of one item purchased for the sale- obviously if you buy more it will be expired by the time you use it! Very frustrating.
A little disappointed. It wasn’t clear when I purchased the duo probiotic and prebiotic that these were two separate containers. I thought I was getting TWO containers for this price (which VERY high for one strain of probiotic) I assumed the prebiotic was contained in the same capsule. Not a whole other bottle. The indication is to take a few of these per day and some reviewers state they have been taking it for a year. This is barely a one month supply at $55 USD which for me is $78 Canadian!!! Per month?? Really unaffordable. So definitely disappointing for me. I won’t buy it again as this is honestly way to high of a price for something that isn’t even multi strain. And don’t get me started on all the very unnecessary fillers in this one. Wow! I didn’t want the fillers at all but this was the only single strain LR I could find. You can definitely do better.
Well I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease last year and the drugs they give destroy my immune system. I found an article about your product and figured it might help me with my microbiome and boost my immune system naturally. So far its pretty good
Befor taking the prebiotic and the probiotic there were many foods I could not eat. I'm now enjoying food like I did when I was young. It has almost completely stopped all bloating.
My entire digestive tract feels so much better. I've been taking these supplements for at least 5 years and I will never stop guaranteed. I've tried alot of other brands and not one could touch what these have done for me really worth every penny.
I;ve felt so much better, gastro wise, since getting on a Pre and Pro biotic. This one is especially helpful as I have to manage high cholesterol, and the L reuteri probiotic has been shown to be beneficial for that.
I have been completely gluten intolerant for over 10 years. After taking these probiotics twice a day for 3 weeks I can eat gluten with no discomfort/digestive upsets at all. Never want to be without it!
I have only been taking the Microbiome products for about a week. So far, so good. I will update my review after I have taken the supplements for a few more weeks.
I decided to try this combo to see the effect on LDL. I am 10 days into the course and plan to recheck cholesterol parameters after one month. Already I notice a positive effect on my abdomen, with less full feeling after meals. If no effect on LDL after a month I will continue for a further month after that.
This has been the best product I have tried across the board regarding probiotics and prebiotics. Nice to know that this has helped with my cholesterol levels.
Thank you for making it as affordable as possible!
It's my first month on it - and the reason I am taking it is to reduce cholesterol. I won't know how well it worked until I do repeat bloodwork. So - jury i still out at this juncture!
