What does the research say?
A randomised controlled trial in 94 people with functional constipation showed that a probiotic containing Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis UABla-12, Bifidobacterium longum UABl-14 and Bifidobacterium bifidum UABb-10 at a combined dose of 15 billion CFU had no benefits for constipation compared to placebo.
A randomized controlled trial in 330 people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) showed that Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 at a dose of 10 billion CFU/dayand Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis UABla-12 at a dose of 10 billion CFU/day may help to improve symptoms of IBS including abdominal, bloating, and stool consistency. However, it is unclear what dose of these individual probiotics are in beauty Pie Supergut.
To our knowledge, no other strains in this product have been studied in a human clinical trial.
The Verdict
Whilst some of the probiotic strains in Beauty Pie Supergut have been studied, the dosage and combination of probiotics in Beauty Pie Supergut has not been specifically tested. Clinical research of this product is required before claims can be supported.
