Bloating,1 that uncomfortable feeling of a full and tight abdomen often caused by gas, can be an unwelcome guest. While gas symptoms like belching, bloating, and flatulence can vary from person to person,2 some discomfort is normal, especially after meals. However, bloating can lead to abdominal pain.2

Multi-strain probiotics, composed of diverse bacterial species, are like a team of helpful microorganisms working together to support your digestive health.3 These friendly helpers break down food, fend off illness-causing cells, and produce essential vitamins.3 They mirror the microorganisms naturally found in your body, making them your digestive buddies.3

MULTI-STRAIN PROBIOTICS CAN REDUCE BLOATING BY

  • Balancing gut microbiota: Probiotics can alleviate bloating by rebalancing your gut bacteria.4
  • Reducing gas production: Some probiotic strains can decrease the amount of gas produced in your gut,5 helping control bloating.
  • Supporting bowel regularity: Probiotics promote regular bowel movements and softer stools, reducing the likelihood of constipation, a common cause of bloating.6

 

For those dealing with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), probiotics offer potential relief from symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation.7
