Science-Backed Probiotics for Digestive Comfort

Not all probiotics are created equal. Bio-K+ has spent over 30 years studying the gut, building a formula around three exclusive, patented strains: Lacticaseibacillus casei LBC80R®, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CLR2®, and Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285®. Fermented drinkable probiotics contain a minimum of 50 billion live and active bacteria, guaranteed until the expiry date, and contribute to intestinal flora health. Daily Care capsules help support gastrointestinal health. Together, they fit naturally into your wellness routine.

Understanding Gut Flora and Digestive Comfort

The gut microbiome is a community of trillions of microorganisms that play a central role in digestion and overall well-being. According to the World Health Organization, probiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered in sufficient numbers, give the host a health benefit. Regular intake of quality probiotics may contribute to intestinal flora health, creating an environment where your digestive system can function comfortably. Bio-K+’s three human-origin, synergistic strains form the scientific backbone of every product in this collection.

Which Format Is Right for You?

Both formats deliver the same three-strain formula. Drinkable probiotics contain live and active bacteria that begin working from the first sip, come in dairy and vegan options (fermented pea, rice, or soy), and must be refrigerated after opening. Capsules contain freeze-dried bacteria released in the intestines via delayed-release technology, are vegan across all formats, and offer shelf-stable convenience for travel. Do not open capsules: targeted-release technology protects the bacteria from gastric acid until they reach the gut.

A Formula Backed by 30 Years of Probiotic Research

Bio-K+’s three proprietary strains are found in no other probiotic worldwide, backed by 16 published clinical trials, 45+ peer-reviewed publications, and four patent families. Every product is developed and manufactured at the brand’s Laval, Quebec facility, with live bacteria counts guaranteed until the expiry date. Bio-K+ has been the pharmacist-recommended probiotic brand in Canada for eight consecutive years1. Certified gluten-free drinkables, with vegan and organic options available.
