DUOLAC Daily Vitality is a Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) supplement for the whole family which helps maintain healthy gastrointestinal bacteria population and healthy bowel function.

The dual coating technology protects the LAB from mechanical pressure during manufacturing, transportation, heat and moisture. Its unique pH-dependent release mechanism ensures survivability of LAB against gastric acid and bile salts, while releasing them in the intestine to ensure their effective colonization and proliferation.

Results show reduction in Global IBS Relief in subjects who received DUOLAC was significantly higher than those who received placebo (68.0% vs 37.5%, p<0.05).
Improvements in abdominal pain or discomfort and bloating occurred in the probiotics group but not in the placebo group.
