Actial Nutrition, the U.S. distributor of VSL#3, a multi-strain probiotic medical food, has launched VSL4 Gut, a shelf-stable daily probiotic supplement formulated to support optimal digestion and promote regularity for all.

Building on the heritage of VSL#3, a high-potency probiotic medical food for IBS, ulcerative colitis, and pouchitis, VSL4 is designed for the everyday consumer and supports optimal digestion, regularity, and improved overall gut health.

VSL4 Gut is shelf-stable, and offers 30 billion CFU per serving of the same eight complementary strains from three different genera found in VSL#3. The supplement features acid-resistant capsules for the delayed release of probiotics, ensuring a high probiotic survival rate through the digestive system.

“Our latest launch represents our commitment to extending the benefits of our effective, specialized probiotic formulations to a broader consumer seeking a good gut feeling that’s also accessible and affordable,” said Jeremy Goldstein, CEO of Actial Nutrition.

“VSL4 Gut contains a new shelf-stable formulation called OttaBac, which is comprised of the same eight strains as our beloved heritage product, VSL#3, but in a different ratio. We are excited to offer this new product as an innovative, daily supplement that maintains the high standards and efficacy for which our brand is known.”

VSL4 is dairy-, soy-, gluten-, and nut-free, and is vegan and non-GMO.
