Lactobacillus Rhamnosus with FOS: Digestive Comfort, Microbiota Balance and Immunity – Advanced Synbiotic For Daily Stability

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus with FOS, Swanson is a synbiotic supplement (probiotic + prebiotic) created to support microbiota balance, digestive comfort and gut-associated immune response. Each serving provides Lactobacillus rhamnosus (5 billion CFU†) – 25 mg and NutraFlora® scFOS® (short-chain fructooligosaccharides) – 100 mg (NRV undefined), a combination that combines a resilient probiotic strain with an easily fermentable prebiotic substrate. L. rhamnosus contributes to harmonizing intestinal flora and postprandial comfort, and scFOS® selectively nourishes beneficial bacteria, favoring short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production and mucosal integrity. The synergy of the two components creates the ideal "background" for regular transit, reduced bloating and stable general state throughout the day.

Detailed benefits of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus with FOS

• Microbiota balance and local metabolic stability

Balanced intestinal microbiota is essential for digestion, synthesis of beneficial metabolites and mucosal protection. Imbalances can be associated with:
• unpredictable transit and bloating;
• reduced tolerance to rich meals;
• general state oscillations.

Through supplementation with L. rhamnosus and scFOS®:
✅ favorable ratio between commensal microorganisms is supported;
✅ proliferation of opportunistic species is limited;
✅ a predictable intestinal environment is created, conducive to smooth digestion.

• Digestive comfort and postprandial bloating reduction

After copious meals or during stressful periods, fermentations can become noisy. Without synbiotic support:
• abdominal pressure appears;
• gas and discomfort persist;
• energy drops after meal.

L. rhamnosus contributes to harmonizing fermentations, and scFOS® provides easily usable "food" for good bacteria, so that:
✅ digestion becomes more "clean", with fewer fluctuations;
✅ feeling of fullness fades;
✅ post-meal comfort improves visibly.

• Regular transit and coherent digestive rhythm

Oscillating transit affects productivity and tone. Flora imbalances can mean:
• rhythm alternations;
• feeling of "heaviness" and delay;
• uneven relationship with fiber-rich foods.

Probiotic + prebiotic synergy:
✅ increases transit consistency;
✅ facilitates predictable rhythm;
✅ supports adaptation to variable dietary fiber intakes.

• Intestinal barrier and mucosal integrity

A healthy mucosa regulates contact between luminal environment and organism. When barrier is fragile, the following may appear:
• postprandial sensitivity;
• inadequate local responses;
• diffuse fatigue state.

L. rhamnosus supports adherence of beneficial bacteria to mucosa, and scFOS® stimulates SCFA production (e.g. butyrate), essential for colonocytes:
✅ tight junction integrity is strengthened;
✅ a functional intestinal barrier is maintained;
✅ a protective environment is created for digestive processes.

• Gut-associated immunity and seasonal resilience

A significant part of immunity has its "headquarters" in the intestine. Without a stable microbial ecosystem:
• adaptation to daily challenges is slow;
• wellbeing fluctuates;
• recovery time after demanding periods is prolonged.

Through interactions with gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), L. rhamnosus:
✅ supports balanced immune response;
✅ contributes to seasonal resilience;
✅ offers a stable background for daily vitality.

• Smart synbiotic: scFOS® as "targeted food"

Not all prebiotic fibers are the same. scFOS® (short-chain fructooligosaccharides) are easily fermentable and well tolerated, which means:
✅ selective nourishment of friendly bacteria;
✅ increased SCFA production with nutritive role and local pH regulation;
✅ supporting a friendly microbial metabolic profile, with less gas and better comfort.

• Adaptation during travel and routine changes

Changing water, time zone or diet can destabilize digestion. Without support, the following frequently appear:
• irregular transit rhythm;
• discomfort after new meals;
• slow adaptation to different eating rules.

Combining L. rhamnosus with scFOS®:
✅ stabilizes digestive functions in new environments;
✅ supports smooth transition between dietary patterns;
✅ maintains comfort during travel.

• Control of "loaded abdomen" sensation and stable energy

Fermentative peaks after rich meals can lower energy. When microbiota is balanced:
✅ digestion proceeds with less abdominal pressure;
✅ postprandial variability decreases;
✅ energy is maintained more constant throughout the day.

• Nutritional synergies: dietary fiber and hydration

Probiotics and prebiotics function optimally in a coherent dietary framework. In the presence of:
• diverse dietary fibers (vegetables, fruits, whole grains);
• adequate fluid intake;
• regular meal schedule,

The synbiotic:
✅ consolidates digestive tolerance;
✅ improves transit regularity;
✅ supports general state stability.

• Compatibility with modern life rhythm

Meals on the run, stress, irregular breaks – all can disrupt flora. A concentrated synbiotic:
✅ offers practical support for digestive "background";
✅ reduces unpleasant breaks in schedule;
✅ maintains continuity of daily activities.

• Quality, clear dose and traceability

Probiotic predictability depends on CFU and prebiotic substrate. This formula:
✅ delivers 5 billion CFU† of Lactobacillus rhamnosus per serving;
✅ includes 100 mg NutraFlora® scFOS® as dedicated prebiotic;
✅ maintains transparent labeling for consistent use.

• Why this formula

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus with FOS, Swanson brings together a resilient probiotic strain with a selective prebiotic in a compact synbiotic, designed for the real needs of modern lifestyle: post-meal comfort, predictable transit, less bloating and a balanced immune "background". Through dual mechanism – friendly repopulation (L. rhamnosus) and selective nourishment (scFOS®) – the formula offers coherent support for day-to-day digestive balance, keeping you in rhythm with activities, without unpleasant interruptions.
