VSL#3 vs Visbiome
A crucial lesson in why specific manufacturing processes matter.
The History
The original highly potent multi-strain formulation used in trials for Pouchitis and Ulcerative Colitis was invented by Prof. Claudio De Simone. The brand VSL#3 originally sold this formulation. After a legal dispute, De Simone took his formulation to a new manufacturer, now sold as Visbiome. VSL#3 changed its manufacturing process and bacterial strains.
Conclusion: If you are looking for the exact formulation backed by 70+ clinical trials for serious GI conditions, you need Visbiome, not the current formulation of VSL#3.
