Thorne FloraMend Prime Probiotic

Most probiotic supplements do one thing: just add bacteria to your gut.

FloraMend Prime Probiotic chose specific strains Thorne to make it meaningfully different. This three-strain formula combines Lactobacillus gasseri KS-13 with Bifidobacterium longum MM-2 and Bifidobacterium bifidum G9-1, each chosen for documented clinical research behind their specific benefits. The result is a daily probiotic that covers digestive balance, immune function, and body composition support simultaneously — in a single acid-resistant capsule that doesn't require refrigeration.

The Body Composition Strain – Lactobacillus gasseri KS-13 is one of only two Lactobacillus species with human research specifically supporting weight management. A clinical study on this strain found an average 4.6% reduction in visceral and subcutaneous body fat with accompanying improvements in body weight, waist circumference, and BMI. Notably, other common Lactobacillus strains — including L. acidophilus and L. fermentum — may actually improve energy utilization in ways that work against body composition goals.

Colon Health and Immune Support – B. bifidum supports gut immunity, maintains beneficial flora balance, and helps regulate colonic pH. B. longum supports immune function in the GI tract, enhances absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous, and supports bowel regularity. Together they cover the colon health and immune function dimensions that Lactobacillus strains alone don't address.

Acid-Resistant, Shelf-Stable Delivery – Fragile probiotic strains are easily destroyed by stomach acid before reaching the intestines where they need to work. FloraMend's delayed-release capsule is specifically designed to be acid and moisture-resistant, protecting the live cultures through gastric transit and delivering them to the lower GI tract intact. The strains are also shelf-stable at room temperature through the expiration date — no refrigeration required, no compliance gap when traveling or racing.

How to Use Thorne FloraMend Prime Probiotic

Dosage: Take 1 capsule daily with a meal, or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. Consistent daily use is essential — probiotic benefits are transient and require regular replenishment to maintain.

Timing: Take with food to support a favorable transit environment. Many athletes incorporate it into their morning meal routine to build a consistent habit.

Pro Tip: FloraMend Prime covers daily maintenance and body composition support. For athletes who need higher-CFU support during heavy training blocks, travel, or after antibiotics, consider pairing or transitioning to a higher-dose multi-strain formula during those periods.
