          VSL#3R is an ultra-high-potency probiotic medical food intended for the dietary management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis (UC), and an ileal pouch (pouchitis).

          VSL#3 should be stored under refrigeration at 36-46°F (2-8°C) to preserve potency. It can remain at room temperature for up to 2 weeks without reducing effectiveness.

          In a 2021 clinical study, VSL#3 demonstrated dietary management outcomes in people with IBS comparable to those achieved with a low FODMAP diet1 — a commonly recommended but restrictive approach. Because VSL#3 is certified FODMAP Friendly, it can also be used alongside a low FODMAP diet for flexible dietary management.
