Any time I travel, I don’t leave without my Nutridophilus.
Nutridophilus is a simple, rock-solid probiotic that helps to quickly relieve traveller’s diarrhea, stomach upset, bloating, and gas. It has been NutriChem’s flagship probiotic for 30 years and as a clinical pharmacist, I generally only hear positive feedback about it. We have many snowbirds going south during the Canadian winters that rely on Nutridophilus as their go-to probiotic during travel.
The lactic acid-producing probiotic bacteria in Nutridophilus, known as Lactobacillus, have long been known to confer a wide range of health benefits. These benefits include:
- Reducing episodes of diarrhea and antibiotic-induced diarrhea (Guandalini 2011)
- Stabilizing blood sugars in type 2 diabetes (Hsieh et al 2018)
- Reducing harmful cholesterol levels (Wu et al 2017)
- Reducing body fat and inflammatory markers (Li et al 2024)
- Helping to reduce anxiety and stress via the gut-brain connection (Chong et al 2019).
The beauty of Nutridophilus is that it is dairy-free, gluten-free, and shelf-stable at room temperature, it helps to maintain healthy bacteria in the human digestive tract, and it can provide a gentle gut-soothing effect quickly.
Nutridophilus contains 4 clinically tested lactobacillus strains of probiotic bacteria:
- Lactobacillus casei
- Lactobacillus helveticus
- Lactobacillus plantarum
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus
For decades, this simple but effective probiotic helped many NutriChem clients to relieve digestive problems and maintain their gut microbiomes.
