HEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND ... GUT FRIENDLY MICROBES?
Want health and happiness? (Who doesn’t?) Start in your gut. Your microbiome (the trillions of microbes in your gut) has an enormous impact on how you feel—physically, and emotionally.
THAT'S BECAUSE:
-
70% of immune cells live in your gut
-
90% of your body’s serotonin (a mood boostin neurotransmitter) is produced in your gut
-
Gut microbes secrete neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine
-
Gut microbes produce essential nutrients like vitamins B12, folate, and K
-
Gut microbes aid nutrient digestion and absorption
-
Certain gut microbes have the ability to actually reduce stress and tension
As long as your microbiome stays in balance, you’re well on your way to health and happiness.
The problem is this: your microbiome is under attack every day. A typical modern lifestyle—with processed foods, artificial sweeteners, high stress, lack of sleep, and other environmental factors—damages the beneficial microbes in your gut, leading to dysbiosis (unbalanced gut). What does this look like? GI discomfort, stress, bloating, digestive issues, mood swings, tension, the inability to relax, and any number of other problems related to your health or your mood. Sound familiar?
VitalBiome works to make you healthier—and happier— from the inside out.*
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?
VitalBiome™ is the best probiotic choice for anyone who wants to bring their gut back in balance, so they can feel healthier and happier.*

VITALBIOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do I need a probiotic supplement?
How does VitalBiome “Seed” the gut?
The majority of Americans experience an out of balance gut. To help get your gut back in balance you need to weed, seed, feed and protect your gut. VitalBiome helps seed your gut with 7 billion CFU^ beneficial microbes that help crowd out unwanted ones making your gut more healthy. The clinically studied strains selected in VitalBiome provide significant health benefits, and were also selected because of their ability to survive the journey through your GI tract and be able to adhere to the gut wall.*
What are the strains used in VitalBiome?
What is the difference between VitalBiome and ProBio 5?
VitalBiome is a probiotic supplement that is formulated to seed your gut with significant levels of beneficial microbes. It contains 7 billion CFU^ (from 8 different probiotic strains), some of which help reduce feelings of stress and tension, improve mood, reduce occasional GI discomfort, gas, and bloating, and help improve immune health. VitalBiome utilizes clinically studied probiotic strains protected in a delayed release capsule. ProBio 5 is a powerful enzyme blend, paired with probiotics and Grape Seed Extract, that is designed to help keep intestinal yeast in balance to help keep your gut microbiome healthy. ProBio 5 contains 2 billion CFU at the time of manufacture from 5 different probiotic strains.*
When can I expect to see results?
Results can vary from individual to individual, but participants of the strain clinical tests reported reduced feelings of stress, improved mood, and improved digestive health after 30 days.*
Can I take VitalBiome with other Plexus® products?
Absolutely! VitalBiome is the perfect complement to other Plexus products. We recommend taking VitalBiome with Bio Cleanse, ProBio 5®, and Slim Microbiome Activating or Slim Hunger Control.* VitalBiome is a great companion to TriPlex. We understand it is difficult to remember which supplements to take throughout the day so we recommend taking VitalBiome in the morning, Slim 30-60 minutes before a meal, Bio Cleanse between meals, and ProBio 5 at night.
What is CFU count and is it important?
CFU, or colony-forming units, is a term often seen in conjunction with probiotic supplements. It is a measurement of viable microbial cells that can replicate to form one visible colony. CFU count is as important as the clinical study it is tied to. VitalBiome was formulated to deliver clinically demonstrated CFU counts at the time of expiration.
Can I take half a dose or multiple capsules?
VitalBiome was formulated to deliver product claims based on individual strain clinical testing results. Therefore, we recommend taking the suggested serving of one capsule per day.
What is the CFU count of VitalBiome?
VitalBiome contains over 7 billion CFU per capsule at time of expiration.
Do I need to refrigerate VitalBiome?
It is not necessary to refrigerate VitalBiome.
When is the best time to take VitalBiome?
While VitalBiome is best taken on an empty stomach, it can also be taken with food.
Will I experience any side effects with VitalBiome?
No, however those not used to consuming higher doses of probiotics may experience some gas and bloating. Interestingly, this is good as it indicates the beneficial microbes are crowding out unwanted microbes and improving your GI tract. Be sure to drink plenty of water and give it some time. These conditions usually pass within a few days as your GI tract gets rebalanced with more beneficial microbiota. Consult a physician if you have concerns with taking probiotic supplements.*
What is a delayed-release capsule and why is it important?
VitalBiome utilizes a delayed release capsule that has been engineered to better withstand the harsh acidic conditions found in the stomach. Studies show these capsules take 45 minutes to dissolve while traditional capsules are less than 30 minutes. Protecting probiotics from these harsh conditions insures the maximum number of live probiotics make it to the intestinal tract.
I don’t like swallowing pills; can I break open the capsule to take it?
While not recommended, you can open the capsule to consume. You simply lose the benefits of added stomach acid protection that the capsule provides.
Does VitalBiome contain magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide?
Does VitalBiome contain any of the eight most common food allergens (Dairy, Egg, Peanut, Soy, Shellfish, Tree-Nut, and Wheat)?
Yes, it contains dairy and soy in minor amounts, due to them being used in the cultivation of some of the probiotic strains.
What is the benefit of using probiotic yeast?
Is VitalBiome safe for pregnant or nursing women?
Can I use VitalBiome with my medication?
Consult with your physician if you have any questions or concerns with medication interactions.
Which VitalBiome™ ingredients contain soy?
Lactobacillus helveticus (Rosell-52) and Bifidobacterium longum (Rosell-175) utilize soy products during the fermentation/ manufacturing process. The clinically demonstrated benefits that these strains provide are so incredible, these strains were thus added to the formula. Anyone with soy allergies should consult a physician prior to using VitalBiome.
Which VitalBiome ingredient contains dairy?
Bifidobacterium longum (Rosell-175) utilizes dairy products during the fermentation process. The clinically demonstrated benefits that this strain provides are so incredible, this strain was thus added to the formula. Anyone with dairy allergies should consult a physician prior to using VitalBiome.
