Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 8.0/10

L. plantarum 299v has multiple RCTs on IBS, abdominal pain, and bloating.

Value for money 6.0/10

€1.13 per serving is high, but reflects the cost of a licensed, clinically-studied strain.

Product quality 8.0/10

Freeze-dried capsules with moisture protection and cold chain option.

Label honesty 9.0/10

CFU count clearly declared, no marketing fluff.

Third-party testing 7.0/10

Jarrow tests potency internally; external data comes from Unilabs reports.

Product Description

Ideal Bowel Support delivers 10 billion CFU of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v per capsule. The strain comes from Swedish biotech company Probi and is encapsulated in acid-resistant capsules.

What We Like

Clinical data specifically on post-antibiotic bloating
Vegan DRcaps protect against stomach acid
No FOS/inulin additives — suitable for low-FODMAP diets

What We’re Missing

Single strain only — those seeking diversity need combination products
Cold chain recommended, which complicates shipping

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule daily on an empty stomach or 30 minutes before a meal with water. When taking antibiotics, separate by at least 2 hours.
