What’s in Your Gut?

If L. reuteri DSM 17938 isn’t in your gut, maybe it should be.

Let us talk about the gut, not willpower or grit, but the actual system inside you that affects everything from digestion to energy, mood, and recovery. Because here is the thing: no matter how well you eat or how consistently you train, if your gut is not functioning properly, it can quietly hold you back and restrict gains.L. reuteri DSM 17938 is not exactly a name you hear every day, but it is a clinically studied bacterial strain that supports gut balance. And when your gut works better, a lot of other things do too.

So, what is L. reuteri DSM 17938?

It is a single probiotic strain that has been studied. A lot. We are talking hundreds of clinical trials, almost 200, in fact. That makes it one of the most researched probiotic strains out there.

Why should you care?

Your gut does more than digest food. It affects everything from your immune system to your mood, and yes, even your gains. A healthy gut helps your body absorb nutrients better, which means more fuel for your workouts and faster recovery. Plus, if you have ever been sidelined by bloating, probiotics can support. L. reuteri DSM 17938 in particular has been shown to support with common conditions like IBS, constipation, and general gut discomfort.

Probiotics = part of a whole healthy lifestyle

Let’s be clear: probiotics aren’t magic pills. They’re just one part of a bigger picture that includes staying active and healthy. Think of them as your gut’s personal trainer, keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes while you focus on smashing your goals.

The Booming Probiotics Market

The global food probiotics market was valued at US$ 60.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 100.1 billion by 2030, growing at a 6.5% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate). This surge is driven by strong scientific evidence linking probiotics to gut health, immunity, and overall wellbeing. Consumers are increasingly seeking products with clinically studied strains for targeted benefits. However, challenges like limited shelf life and stability remain important considerations in probiotic formulation and delivery.
