T h e r a p e u t i c I n d e x 69 Indication IBS Dosage 1 to 2 capsules twice daily. Presentation 20 capsules in Activ-VialTM container. Florasante is made using capsule-in-capsule technology. The inner capsule contains a blend of the probiotic strains, whereas the outer capsule contains a blend of an herbal extract and the prebiotic. This physical separation of the probiotics from the herb and the prebiotic prevents the exposure of the probiotics to moisture and prevents any antimicrobial property of the herbal blend, therefore, enhancing the viability of the probiotic strains. Benefits The probiotic species present in this formula, namely Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus coagulans, and Streptoccocus thermophilus, are known to produce various health-benefiting secondary metabolites that stimulate the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria. These probiotic strains produce antimicrobial actives against gut pathogens and improve the intestinal microbial balance. Barley β-glucan acts as a prebiotic and serves as a source of nutrition to intestinal bacteria, thus, enhancing the growth of beneficial microbiota (ie, bifidobacteria). Aegle marmelos helps ease chronic diarrhea through its astringent, digestive, and stomachic properties.
