What is the inspiration behind Bio-K+?
IBS Pro capsules (Canada)
The inspiration behind the IBS Pro capsules (Canada) stems from Bio-K+’s unwavering commitment to empowering consumers in their quest for optimal well-being. By setting the gold standard in probiotics, Bio-K+ aims to transform how individuals manage their gastrointestinal health.
In 2018, a pivotal study provided the foundation for this innovation. The prospective double-blind, randomized trial, which included 113 participants, examined the efficacy of Bio-K+’s 50 billion IBS Pro probiotics (Preston et al., 2018; Ship et al., 2019). The promising results of this study highlighted the significant benefits of these probiotics for individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), particularly those experiencing diarrhoea as a predominant symptom.
Inspired by these findings, Bio-K+ developed the IBS Pro capsules to offer targeted support for gastrointestinal health for those struggling with IBS-D †. This new product reflects our dedication to advancing probiotic science and delivering effective solutions to enhance digestive health. With IBS Pro capsules, we continue to uphold our mission of setting the highest standards in probiotics and empowering individuals to take control of their well-being.
Advanced Bowel Support (US)
The inspiration behind Advanced Bowel Support is rooted in Bio-K+’s dedication to empowering consumers to take charge of their digestive health†. Our mission is to set the gold standard in probiotics, offering products that truly make a difference in well-being.
Vegan drinkable probiotics – Blueberry flavor (Canada & US)
The inspiration behind our vegan drinkable probiotic with blueberry flavor came from Bio-K+’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs and preferences of our diverse customer base. We recognized a growing demand for vegan-friendly options that align with specific dietary requirements, such as the low FODMAP diet, and sought to create a product that addresses these needs while maintaining our high standards of quality and effectiveness.
Our goal was to develop a probiotic solution that combines the benefits of our unique fermentation process with a plant-based formula. By using brown rice powder and brown rice protein as the base, we crafted a product that is gentle on the digestive system and suitable for those with dietary sensitivities. The delightful blueberry flavor enhances the enjoyment of incorporating probiotics into daily life, making it a tasty and convenient choice for anyone looking to support their gut health†.
