HIGH POTENCY PROBIOTIC Medical food for the dietary management of dysbiosis associated with IBS, ulcerative colitis, pouchitis, and hepatic encephalopathy. Visbiome is a non-drug therapy that addresses distinct nutritional requirements to promote microbial balance in people with IBS, ulcerative colitis, pouchitis, and hepatic encephalopathy which cannot be addressed by modification of diet alone. Eight strains of live bacteria in high concentrations Visbiome capsules are encompassed by the Activ-Vial technology to reduce moisture exposure. Contains original De Simone Formulation probiotic blend, one of the most widely studied probiotics available with over 60 human clinical trials in IBS, UC, Pouchitis, liver disease and more.

Visbiome in the Dietary Management of Hepatic Encephalopathy Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) is associated with significant dysbiosis of the bacterial gut flora. 1,2 Standard drug therapy for HE is focused on modulating the gut microbiome through prebiotic and antibiotic activity. 2,4 The Visbiome probiotic, consumed as a monotherapy or concomitantly with standard drug therapy may aid in the dietary management of dysbiosis associated with HE. When used as a medical food, multiple controlled studies have found the De Simone Formulation in Visbiome is associated with: Improved management of overt HE in patients with a prior episode of overt HE. Improvement in abnormal psychometric testing vs. control. Probability of development of HE 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 Adapted from Agrawal et al, 2012 Gp - No Treatment P = 0.001 Gp - Visbiome Gp - Lactulose Reduction in arterial ammonia levels comparable to lactulose.,7 May be consumed concomitantly with standard drug therapy (lactulose, rifaximin). 8,9 0.00 0.00 3.00 4.00 6.00 8.00.00 12.00 Follow-up in Months 23 cirrhotic patients who had prior episodes of HE were evaluated after consuming the De Simone Formulation, lactulose or no therapy. There was a significant difference in the development HE in the probiotic vs. no treatment groups (p=0.02) and in the lactulose vs. no treatment group (p=0.001) but no difference between the probiotic group vs. lactulose (p=0.134)
