What is BioGaia Gastrus?
BioGaia Gastrus is a chewable probiotic tablet containing two specific strains of Lactobacillus reuteri: DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 6475. Each tablet provides 100 million CFU of each strain, for a combined 200 million CFU per tablet. The product is formulated as a chewable tablet with mandarin and mint flavouring, using isomalt as a base.
BioGaia is a Swedish probiotic company with a long-standing focus on Lactobacillus reuteri research. The Gastrus formulation combines two distinct L. reuteri strains into a single tablet, each identified by their specific strain designations rather than generic species labelling. The chewable format requires no water and is suitable for daily use in adults.
Why This Formulation / How It Works
BioGaia Gastrus contains two distinct Lactobacillus reuteri strains: DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 6475. Each strain is identified by its specific culture collection designation, providing precise strain-level identification rather than species-level labelling. Each tablet delivers 100 million CFU of each strain, for 200 million CFU total per tablet. The chewable tablet format allows the strains to be released in the oral cavity and upper digestive tract as the tablet is chewed and swallowed. BioGaia has focused its product development on L. reuteri strains specifically, and the Gastrus product represents their dual-strain adult formulation. The tablet uses isomalt as its base, with mandarin and mint flavouring.
