Resilient gut
Consumers know that modern living can be hard on their digestive system, and that most solutions require discipline. Give them a choice to make it easier to help build gut barrier integrity.
Address lifestyle challenges naturally
Modern living has consequences. Processed food, stress and sedentary lifestyles all make it harder for the gut microbiota to support the intestinal barrier. And when the gut is leaky, it’s bad for our health.
Give health-conscious consumers gold standard probiotics for gut health.
World’s #1 documented probiotic – LGG®
For consumers looking for a stable and effective probiotic to promote gut integrity, L. rhamnosus, LGG® is a good bet. It’s been used worldwide since 1990 to keep the gut in check. It promotes microbial balance by outcompeting unwanted bacteria1-4, as well as supporting a healthy intestinal barrier5-6 and immune health7-9.
Boost gut health with our µBIOM™ synbiotic
Bifidobacteria are an important player in the gut microbiome10. For example, they feed butyrate-producing bacteria that support gut health. But the older we get, the fewer Bifidobacteria we have.
So, for consumers who want to give their gut an extra advantage, we recommend a synbiotic that starts with clinically documented Bifidobacteria. Then add an HMO, designed by nature to encourage Bifidobacterium growth in the human gut11.
Use BB-12®, Istilos™ and HMO 2'-FL to:
- support gut health12-14
- strengthen gut barrier integrity15-17
HMOs are nature’s way to support a healthy microbiome. Study has shown that using 2´-FL can increase the abundance of Bifidobacterium up to three- fold.18
Gut tissue integrity when they need it most
Many people strive to support their overall health every day, even when it comes with occasional challenges. For example, individuals focused on heart health often mention concerns about maintaining digestive comfort.
Imagine a natural way to nurture your body’s balance and support digestive well-being. In a leading clinical trial, Galenex™ was shown to promote a healthy intestinal lining and contribute to overall gut balance.
Consider these for gut resilience
- World’s most documented probiotic.
- Clinically studied across life stages.
- Well-known to support gut and immune health.
- Also shown to support skin and oral health.
- Available in infant grade.
- Developed to protect stomachs from challenging, over-the-counter preparations.

How are you capitalizing on trends for more CFUs?
A powerful player in other health areas, too
A healthy gut barrier is key for a well-functioning gastrointestinal system. But intestinal permeability affects other health areas, too.
That’s why you can combine gut health with other health areas to produce a unique and truly beneficial product for your consumers.
Focus on immune strength
Since the gut microbiota play an important role in developing and maintaining our immune system, gut and immune health can be an attractive positioning for your product.
Focus on heart health
Gut health and heart health can go hand in hand. Check out our other products for heart health and get inspired to develop your one-of-a-kind product for people focused on their heart health.
Focus on women’s health
The rhythms of life affect a woman’s gut. Regularity can fluctuate in connection with menstrual cycles22, not to mention pregnancy. And as she ages, she naturally loses beneficial Bifidobacterium. So benefits for gut resilience in a woman’s biosolution could be a good bet.
What’s on your mind?
Whatever it is, let us know. Together, we can help people with their gastrointestinal discomfort. It’s a question of better health.
