Four strains + MAKTREK® Bi-Pass

Named Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, prebiotic FOS, and delivery technology aimed at gastric-acid survival — daily habit science, not CFU bragging.

What it is

Gut Harmony is a daily probiotic-and-prebiotic formula: an 800 mg probiotic blend with 40 billion CFU across four named strains — Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14, Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04, Lactobacillus plantarum Lp-115 and Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37 — plus 24 mg of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) as a prebiotic fiber and 60 mg of complex marine polysaccharide.

MAKTREK® Bi-Pass is the delivery technology named on the label: a matrix approach discussed in the context of helping cultures navigate stomach acid on the way to the intestine. Vegetable capsules, with every strain named down to its strain ID.

How it works

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, may confer a health benefit as part of a dietary pattern (ISAPP definition, educational). Prebiotics such as FOS are substrates selectively used by host microorganisms — “food” for beneficial microbes.

Stomach acid is a real design constraint for oral probiotics. Delivery technologies exist because survival through the upper GI tract is a legitimate shopper question. Structure/function framing: supporting a daily gut routine and microbial neighborhood — not diagnosing or treating infection or disease.
