The Verdict
The probiotic strain in The Nue Co Pre + Probiotic is potentially helpful for bloating and gas symptoms, but the claims for skin health cannot be supported. The prebiotic in this product may be too low to have any clinical benefits, but may still be provide some benefit to people with IBS.

The Research
The probiotic Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 (LACTOSPORE®) has been shown in randomised clinical trials to be helpful for bloating and symptoms of gas.
In people with diarrhoea predominant (IBS-D), MTCC 5856 (LACTOSPORE®) could help to improve bowel habit, symptoms of IBS and depression.
However, the clinical benefits of MTCC 5856 (LACTOSPORE®) have been shown with a dose of 2 billion cultures whereas the dose in this product is much higher at around 10 billion.
LactoSporin® is a protein produced by the strain MTCC 5856 (LACTOSPORE®). Whilst LactoSporin has some evidence to benefit skin health when used topically, there is no evidence that taking LACTOSPORE® orally improves skin health.
Inulin is a well-studied prebiotic fibre however the concentration of inulin in this is much lower than what has been shown to have benefits in clinical trials. Also, inulin may exacerbate IBS symptoms.
