Jarrow Formulas Ideal Bowel Support 299v
by Jarrow Formulas
"Lactobacillus plantarum 299v — the clinically studied probiotic strain specifically for IBS and digestive comfort"
Overview
Jarrow Formulas Ideal Bowel Support provides 10 billion CFU of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, one of the most clinically studied probiotic strains for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). L. plantarum 299v has been shown in multiple randomized controlled trials to reduce bloating, abdominal pain, and normalize bowel movements in IBS patients. Unlike broad-spectrum probiotics, this single-strain approach targets the specific mechanisms of IBS — reducing intestinal permeability and modulating the gut immune response.
