PRODUCT DETAILS
Visbiome™ Regular Flavor - Visbiome is a
high potency probiotic medical food for the dietary management of IBS
(Irritable Bowel Syndrome), ulcerative colitis (UC), and pouchitis.
In
the mid-1990s, Professor Claudio De Simone, M.D. invented a proprietary
blend of probiotic strains (the “De Simone Formulation”) and
collaborated with VSL Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to produce and market it as
‘VSL#3,’ a trademark owned by VSL Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In 2014,
Professor De Simone decided to leave VSL Pharmaceuticals and is now
collaborating with ExeGi Pharma, LLC to produce Visbiome, a probiotic
using the same proprietary blend of probiotic strains that De Simone
originally invented. Visbiome contains the De Simone Formulation, one of the most widely studied probiotics with over 60 published human clinical studies.
