Thorne Complete Biotic

Prebiotic, Probiotic & Postbiotic Thorne Complete Biotic One 1 g stick pack carries all three categories: 15 mg of PreforPro prebiotic bacteriophages, 1 billion CFUs of Bacillus subtilis DE111 as the probiotic, and 25 mg of heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum ES1 as the postbiotic. Most gut products cover one of the three. This covers all three in a single serving.* The delivery is the other half of the design. Open the pack, pour it straight onto your tongue, swallow. It dissolves rapidly and needs no water, which is why it is labeled for adults and children over 4 rather than adults only. Frosted orange flavored, 30 stick packs per box. Postbiotic 25 mg Heat-treated B. longum ES1 Prebiotic 15 mg PreforPro bacteriophages Probiotic 1 Billion CFUs, B. subtilis DE111 Servings 30 One stick pack daily No water required Adults and children over 4 Gluten, dairy and soy free The Three Biotics Three Categories That Do Three Different Things Pre-, pro- and postbiotic are not synonyms. They describe different classes of ingredient acting at different points in the same system. 🦠 Probiotic: Bacillus subtilis DE111 The live component, at 1 billion CFUs per stick pack from 3.3 mg of DE111. Bacillus subtilis is a spore-forming strain, which is what allows a live probiotic to survive in a shelf-stable dry powder rather than needing refrigeration. DE111 is a registered trademark of Deerland Probiotics & Enzymes, Inc. 1 Billion CFUs · Spore-forming 🎯 Prebiotic: PreforPro Bacteriophages PreforPro is not a fiber. It is a blend of four bacteriophages (LH01, LL12 and T4D from the Myoviridae family, LL5 from Siphoviridae) which are viruses that target bacteria. They work by favoring the growth of beneficial gut flora over less beneficial organisms.* PreforPro is a registered trademark of Deerland Probiotics & Enzymes, Inc. 15 mg · Four phage strains 🔬 Postbiotic: Heat-Treated B. longum ES1 The largest component by weight at 25 mg. This strain is heat-treated, meaning it is no longer live, and that is deliberate: a postbiotic delivers the beneficial compounds a bacterial strain produces without requiring the organism to survive transit or colonize. 25 mg · CECT7347 ⚡ Fast-Melt, No Water A single-serve stick pack poured directly onto the tongue, dissolving rapidly with no water needed. Sweetened with mannitol and xylitol, carried on organic rice hull and maltodextrin, flavored frosted orange. That format is why the label clears it for children over 4 and why it travels without a shaker. 1 g stick pack · Frosted orange What It Supports Both Intestines, Not Just One 🔄 Normal bowel movements Regularity ⏱️ Improved bowel transit time Occasional constipation 📏 Normal stool consistency Consistency 😌 Less GI discomfort Comfort 🌱 Beneficial flora over less beneficial Microbiome 🧬 Butyrate-producing strains Gut flora ⚖️ Balanced GI inflammatory response Inflammation 🛡️ Balanced sIgA and gut immunity Immune Full Spec Sheet Specifications Supplement Facts (Per Stick Pack) Serving size 1 stick pack (1 g) Servings per container 30 Heat-Treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT7347 (ES1) 25 mg PreforPro (LH01 Myoviridae, LL5 Siphoviridae, T4D Myoviridae, LL12 Myoviridae) 15 mg Bacillus subtilis DE111 3.3 mg, 1 Billion CFUs Formula & Product Details Other ingredients Mannitol, Xylitol, Organic Rice Hull, Maltodextrin, Citric Acid, Flavors Flavor Frosted Orange, with other natural flavors Format Single-serve fast-melt stick pack, no water required Unit count 30 stick packs Suitable for Adults and children over 4 years Trademarks PreforPro and DE111 are registered trademarks of Deerland Probiotics & Enzymes, Inc. Dietary Gluten free, dairy free, soy free Questions Frequently Asked Questions How do I take Complete Biotic? + Open one stick pack daily, pour it directly onto your tongue, and swallow. It dissolves rapidly and no water is required. Suitable for adults and children over 4 years, or as recommended by your health-care practitioner. What is the difference between a prebiotic, a probiotic, and a postbiotic? + A probiotic is live beneficial bacteria: 1 billion CFUs of Bacillus subtilis DE111. A prebiotic shifts conditions to favor beneficial organisms; in this formula that is PreforPro, four bacteriophages rather than a fiber. A postbiotic is a strain that has been heat-treated so it is no longer live, delivering the beneficial compounds without needing the organism to survive transit. Here that is 25 mg of Bifidobacterium longum ES1. How soon should I notice anything? + Thorne gives a four-stage timeline: after 2 weeks, support for normal stool consistency in people with occasional constipation or diarrhea. After 1 month, more good bacteria, eased minor intestinal cramping, and support for healthy cholesterol in adults with occasional GI discomfort. After 2 months, support for GI immune function in children, particularly in group settings like daycare. After 3 months, support for overall quality of life, stool consistency, and emotional wellness in people with occasional GI upset.* Can children take this? + Yes. The label clears it for adults and children over 4 years, at the same one stick pack daily. The fast-melt format is part of why, since there is nothing to swallow and no water needed. Does it need refrigeration? + The probiotic strain here is Bacillus subtilis, a spore-forming bacterium, which is what allows a live probiotic to remain viable in a dry, shelf-stable powder. Follow the storage instructions on your carton. What does it taste like, and what is it sweetened with? + Frosted orange. Sweetened with mannitol and xylitol, carried on organic rice hull and maltodextrin, with citric acid and flavors. Gluten free, dairy free, and soy free.
