Change can raise questions, especially when it involves something you trust, so we want to clearly explain why we refined our probiotic formula and what that means for you.
Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about what changed, why it changed, and how the new formula continues to support your daily gut health.
Here is a quick overview of the changes:
Why did you change the formula?
With scientific advancements and clinical studies, our understanding of probiotics has expanded, and we saw an opportunity to improve both effectiveness and value. Our new formula focuses on what really works offering four of the most clinically-studied strains, double the CFUs, advanced MAKTREK® delivery to survive stomach acid, and smart prebiotic support to help them thrive. It’s everything your gut needs in a daily probiotic, nothing extra, nothing wasted.
Is the new formula better for daily gut support?
Yes! The new combination of clinically-studied strains, delivery technology, and key prebiotics is designed for everyday gut health, with benefits for digestion, energy, immune resilience, and stress, mood and wellbeing support.
What’s different about the new Probiotic formula?
Here’s what’s new:
-
More CFUs: Increased from 30 billion to 60 billion CFUs per serving.
-
Better delivery: Switched from DRcaps® to MAKTREK® Bi‑Pass Technology to better protect probiotics from stomach acid.
-
Refined strains: Focused on four clinically-studied strains for everyday gut, immune, and stress, mood and wellbeing support.
-
Prebiotic upgrade: Uses Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) from Chicory Root, and Marine Polysaccharides from Marine Algae to better nourish the selected strains.
- More capsules, lower cost: 60 capsules per bottle, still a 30-day supply, now at a lower price.
Why are there now fewer strains?
Quality matters more than quantity. We carefully selected four powerful, research-backed strains that support the gut microbiome, immune system, and even stress, mood and wellbeing. This focused approach means better synergy, higher survival, and improved effectiveness.
Streamlining for Potency + Daily Use
As probiotic research has advanced, we refined our formula to focus on the strains that deliver the greatest benefit for everyday gut, immune health and stress, mood and wellbeing support.
We removed strains that offered overlapping support when paired with stronger, more versatile strains already in the formula.
By streamlining to four powerhouse, clinically-studied strains, we were able to:
- Increase potency, doubling CFUs from 30 billion to 60 billion per serving.
- Upgrade delivery, switching to MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology to better protect probiotics through stomach acid.
The result is a more focused, effective probiotic designed for daily use, with improved survival, synergy, and value.
What changed in the Prebiotics?
We’ve upgraded our prebiotic support to match our smarter probiotic formula. Dr. Tennant’s GI 60 continues to provide a powerful combination of prebiotics, which are among the most clinically-supported types for feeding beneficial gut bacteria.
Our new Prebiotic formula provides:
-
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) (from natural Chicory Root): Potent short-chain prebiotic derived from natural chicory root. Rapidly fermented by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Strong synergy with the selected strains in the new formula.
- Marine Polysaccharides (from Marine Algae): An innovative marine-derived fiber that forms a protective matrix around probiotics (especially during digestion). Enhances survival plus selectively feeds certain beneficial strains.
-
Improved Synergy: The new blend focuses on feeding the specific strains in the updated formula.
-
Smarter Delivery Support: The marine polysaccharide component not only acts as a prebiotic, but helps form a barrier around the probiotic, enhancing survival through stomach acid and further boosting colonization once it reaches the gut.
-
Better Standardization: Chicory root and marine fibers are more consistent and clinically validated than baobab or Jerusalem artichoke, which vary more in polyphenol content and fermentability.
- Fewer Ingredients, More Precision: Instead of layering multiple general prebiotics, we focused on the most effective duo for feeding beneficial strains and supporting real results.
