Wakunaga introduces chewable technology for probiotics

Published: 12-Apr-2021

The tablets are designed to help individuals who are pill adverse

Wakunaga of America has developed chewable tablets, designed to make taking its probiotics and prebiotics more convenient.

“Often when people look for gut health supplements they get overwhelmed with the options and it can all be confusing,” said Sherry Torkos, Holistic Pharmacist. “What I like about the Kyo-Dophilus Pro+ Synbiotic chewable supplement is that it is easy to take, especially for people who are pill adverse. I also like that it comes in packets instead of bottles, so it’s simple to pack, transport, and requires no refrigeration.”

Kyo-Dophilus Pro+ Synbiotic contains 20 billion CFU of nine bacteria species, including a blend of L. gasseri KS-13, B. bifidum G9-1, and B. longum MM-2. Published studies on this specific combination of strains reportedly show it supports improved digestion, reduces cold and seasonal allergy symptoms, and restores a healthy microbiome in older adults. Pro+ Synbiotic has six probiotics with targeted benefits including: B. longum BB536, which Wakunaga claims has been show to dampen allergy symptoms, boost innate immunity, and relieve occasional digestive discomfort, along with B. breve M-16-V and B. infantis, L. rhamnosus, and B. lactis, which the company says support gastrointestinal health by harmonising gut microbiota, regulating bowel frequency and alleviating bloating and abdominal discomfort.

Each chewable tablet also contains 2 grams of BioEcolians, a proprietary a-gluco-oligosaccharide prebiotic designed to support microbiome diversity for improved digestive health, better immune response including killing pathogenic bacteria in the gut, as well as reducing constipation, improving stool consistency, reducing bloating discomfort, and enhancing satiety while reducing body weight and abdomen fat.

“It makes so much more sense to take a probiotic and prebiotic together in order to capitalize on all the synergistic benefits,” said Torkos who serves as an adviser on Wakunaga’s website. “Finding a well-researched, quality supplement is critical especially when we are talking about probiotics, which are live bacteria. This is not a supplement you want to just casually purchase at a drug store. It’s important to do your research and purchase from reputable companies.”
