Gut bacteria capsules with selected bacterial strains
The gut is home to a wide variety of microorganisms. Edubily's gut bacteria capsules contain a scientifically backed blend of 7 high-dose bacterial strains. They contribute to a balanced microbiome. In addition, the capsules contain apple fiber powder, a prebiotic that also provides the right nourishment for the good bacteria. This blend combines probiotic cultures with a suitable prebiotic.
Why are gut bacteria so important?
Your gut is home to billions of microorganisms that together form your microbiome. These are "good" bacteria that not only help with digestion but also play an important role in other processes. Disruptions in the gut can have far-reaching effects on the entire organism and may be linked to a wide range of complaints. (1) Hippocrates recognized this over 2000 years ago: ‘All disease begins in the gut.’ Factors such as stress, an unbalanced diet, or antibiotics may disrupt the gut microbiome.
Probiotics are products that contain live microorganisms. They can be obtained naturally through certain fermented foods, such as yogurt, sauerkraut, or kefir, or through supplementation. Especially if your diet includes fewer fermented foods, the latter could make sense.
The power of the bacterial strains in our capsules
Edubily's gut bacteria capsules provide specifically selected probiotic bacterial strains:
- Lactobacillus plantarum: Clinical studies suggest that this strain can influence both the innate and adaptive cellular and humoral immune response (2). Especially interesting for athletes: L. plantarum showed a reduction in oxidative stress after a triathlon by increasing levels of the anti-inflammatory IL1-0 while lowering pro-inflammatory markers such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 (3).
- Lactobacillus reuteri: This strain is known for its many beneficial properties – including supporting gastrointestinal function, influencing the immune response, and inhibiting harmful germs. The strain produces reuterin, an antimicrobial compound that contributes significantly to microbial balance in the gut (4).
- Streptococcus thermophilus: This probiotic bacterial strain is used primarily in the dairy industry – especially in the production of yogurt and cheese. S. thermophilus is known for converting lactose into lactic acid, which is especially beneficial for people with lactose intolerance. In addition, studies showed that by producing hyaluronic acid, this strain can relieve osteoarthritis-related discomfort and slow the progression of joint damage (6).
- Bifidobacterium lactis: With over 200 clinical studies, B. lactis is one of the best-researched bifidobacteria worldwide. In one of these studies on antibiotic-related changes in the gut flora, B. lactis was shown to restore stool acetate content to baseline within 30 days – an effect that was not observed in the control group. Acetate, a short-chain fatty acid, plays a central role in maintaining an acidic gut environment (7).
- Bifidobacterium longum: B. longum is associated with possible relief of irritable bowel symptoms. In a clinical study of patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, gastrointestinal symptoms improved through the intake of B. longum – notably, heat-inactivated bacteria also showed this effect (8). In addition, further studies indicate a positive influence of B. longum on sleep quality and stress management (9).
- Bifidobacterium infantis: B. infantis was originally discovered in the intestines of infants – hence the name. But adults can also benefit from this strain: Studies showed that taking B. infantis for inflammatory conditions such as ulcerative colitis, chronic fatigue syndrome or psoriasis can lead to a reduction in the inflammatory marker CRP compared with the placebo group (10).
- Bifidobacterium adolescentis: B. adolescentis is associated with positive effects on fat metabolism and glucose tolerance. A study published in the journal Nature Metabolism showed that resistant starch promoted the growth of this bacterial strain – which was accompanied by improved metabolic status in the participants (5).
Edubily's probiotic capsules also contain apple fiber powder, a prebiotic that serves as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria and supports their growth.

Frequently asked questions & answers from Edubily
Are the capsules resistant to stomach acid?
Basically, it is the biocompatible HPMC capsules. They pass through the empty stomach undamaged within 15 minutes. An additional coating, for example with acylated gellan, is not required. Such chemical additives can be avoided, especially since they are also not used in most scientific studies.
What is the difference compared to the gut flora complex?
The complex in powder form is better suited to people with a healthy gut, while the capsules are designed specifically for more sensitive digestive systems.
The powder contains prebiotics such as dextrin, which can be useful but may cause discomfort if you already have gut issues. People with irritable bowel syndrome in particular often react to even small amounts of fermentable fibers (FODMAPs) with bloating. The capsules contain only small amounts of apple fiber powder, which is well tolerated – unlike inulin, which would be problematic for many.
Ultimately, it also comes down to personal preference: swallow a capsule or stir in powder.
Do I need to store the product in the fridge?
No, the freeze-dried bacteria are suitable for storage at room temperature.
Does it contain inulin?
No, the capsules do not contain inulin.
Do the bacteria need to be activated before intake?
No, the bacteria are active immediately after intake. However, hot liquids must be avoided.
