9.5 Microencapsulated LM-20 effective in colitis Microencapsulation and Probiotic Characterization of LM-20: Therapeutic Application in a Murine Model of Ulcerative Colitis. Garfias Noguez C, Ramírez Damián M, Ortiz Moreno A, Márquez Flores YK, Alamilla Beltrán L, et al. Microencapsulation and Probiotic Characterization of LM-20: Therapeutic Application in a Murine Model of Ulcerative Colitis. Nutrients. 2025;17. doi:10.3390/nu17050749 We investigated the effects of microencapsulated LM-20, a probiotic, on ulcerative colitis in a lab model. Using advanced microencapsulation techniques, we ensured strong survival rates of this probiotic in harsh gastrointestinal conditions. Our results were promising—mice receiving LM-20 showed an impressive 83.3% reduction in disease activity. They also had lower levels of harmful inflammatory markers, mirroring those of healthy mice. This suggests that LM-20 could be a beneficial therapy for managing ulcerative colitis. 10 No more pain Most Useful Review 107 people found this helpful I drink one NATOOSHCHAK capsule in the morning, and during the day, there is no pain or swelling from my 30-year-old chronic colitis. It genuinely works! The enteric-soluble capsule is a significant advantage. Keep it in the refrigerator for longevity. Check expiry dates before ordering. I throw a capsule into milk in the evening and keep it warm. I also recommend having thick kefir in the morning. Wishing you good health.
Probiotics
NOW Foods, Saccharomyces Boulardii, Probiotic , 5 Billion CFU, 60 Veg Capsules	8.5	8.4
9.5 Targeted probiotic shows promise Targeted delivery of the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii to the extracellular matrix enhances gut residence time and recovery in murine colitis. Heavey MK, Hazelton A, Wang Y, Garner M, Anselmo AC, et al. Targeted delivery of the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii to the extracellular matrix enhances gut residence time and recovery in murine colitis. Nat Commun. 2024;15:3784. doi:10.1038/s41467-024-48128-0 We explored the effectiveness of a specially engineered probiotic yeast, Saccharomyces boulardii, aimed at treating colitis. By cleverly binding this probiotic to proteins in the gut, we managed to significantly extend its stay in the gastrointestinal tract. This allowed us to observe a noteworthy increase in probiotic levels in the colon. Importantly, our findings showed improvements in critical health markers, such as colon length and inflammation scores. This innovative approach suggests that targeted probiotics could be a game changer in managing inflammatory bowel diseases. 9 Effective for colitis Most Useful Review 53 people found this helpful Boulardii was crucial for managing my activated ulcerative colitis, which Gr8-Dophilus alone couldn't handle. Two years ago, a combination of Boulardii, a gluten-free diet, and other products saved my colon from surgery. Unfortunately, my colon deteriorated again, preventing adequate good bacteria growth. Thankfully, Boulardii worked its magic once again.

I have tried numerous probiotics for my ulcerative colitis, but this is the only one that has genuinely helped. Before using it, I was advised to have my colon removed. Now, after almost two months of taking it, I am observing positive results. Be aware that this product is quite strong; I had to gradually work up to 12 capsules a day and experienced a few minor issues along the way. However, I am now reaping the benefits.

Magnesium
Doctor's Best, High Absorption Magnesium, 200 mg, 120 Tablets, (100 mg per Tablet)	8.3	8.5
9 Magnesium's effect on colitis Improvement of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate on DSS-induced acute and chronic colitis. Cui J, Li Y, Jiao C, Gao J, He Y, et al. Improvement of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate on DSS-induced acute and chronic colitis. Int Immunopharmacol. 2021;90:107194. doi:10.1016/j.intimp.2020.107194 We investigated the potential benefits of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate in treating colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Our findings suggest that magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate can effectively alleviate both acute and chronic symptoms of colitis. The treatment helped reduce inflammation by lowering the number of immune cells in the affected areas and decreasing levels of inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, we noted it significantly reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and mitigated the damage to the gut barrier associated with DSS treatment. Another key observation was the treatment's ability to decrease colonic fibrosis, a common complication of IBD. Overall, these results indicate that magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate shows promise in managing intestinal inflammation and could be beneficial for people suffering from inflammatory bowel disease in clinical settings. 9 Normalised blood pressure Most Useful Review This magnesium is incredibly effective! My husband has a consistent need for magnesium and tried many forms before finding this one. The results were immediate; his previously high blood pressure returned to normal, allowing us to reduce his dosage by half. Despite his tendency for loose stools and his ulcerative condition, he experienced no adverse effects. Though the tablets are substantial, they are easy to swallow, and I highly recommend this product.
Vitamins
NOW Foods, Vitamin D-3, High Potency, 5,000 IU, 120 Softgels	8.3	8.4
7 Vitamin D3 shows comparable effects Daily Vitamin D3 Versus Stoss Vitamin D3 for Correction of 25OHD Deficiency in Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, a Randomised Controlled Trial. O'Donnell JEM, Leach ST, Bowcock NL, Chen S, Gupta N, et al. Daily Vitamin D3 Versus Stoss Vitamin D3 for Correction of 25OHD Deficiency in Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, a Randomised Controlled Trial. Dig Dis Sci. 2025. doi:10.1007/s10620-025-08913-3 We conducted a randomized controlled trial to investigate how vitamin D3 impacts children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically aiming to address vitamin D deficiency in those suffering from colitis. The study compared two different treatment approaches: a low daily dose of 2000 IU of vitamin D3 and a one-time high dose of the 'stoss' therapy, where children received a significantly larger dose of 400,000 IU or 800,000 IU, depending on their age. Children in both treatment groups were monitored over 12 months for various health indicators, including 25OHD levels and clinical disease activity. Our findings revealed that the stoss therapy was non-inferior to the daily dosing regimen in raising vitamin D levels over the study period. Importantly, there were no significant differences in vitamin D levels at any of the checkpoints—3, 6, 9, or 12 months. This indicates that both supplementation methods can effectively address vitamin D deficiency in children with colitis. However, the study emphasizes the absence of any superior benefits from one treatment over the other. 9 Helps inflammation Most Useful Review I can't live without my vitamin D! I have ulcerative colitis and it aids in reducing inflammation as well as supporting bone health. I trust the Now Foods brand!

Iron
Solgar, Gentle Iron®, 25 mg, 90 Vegetable Capsules	8	7.8
9 Dietary iron aids intestinal recovery Dietary Iron Alleviates Dextran Sodium Sulfate-Induced Intestinal Injury by Regulating Regeneration of Intestinal Stem Cells in Weaned Mice. Zeng X, Yin L, Zhang Y, Wang Q, Li J, et al. Dietary Iron Alleviates Dextran Sodium Sulfate-Induced Intestinal Injury by Regulating Regeneration of Intestinal Stem Cells in Weaned Mice. Biol Trace Elem Res. 2025. doi:10.1007/s12011-025-04546-9 We investigated the role of dietary iron in recovery from colitis, specifically focusing on its effects in weaned mice. The study involved two groups of mice fed different diets: one with a regular amount of iron and another enriched with significantly more iron. After two weeks on their respective diets, both groups were subjected to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) treatment to induce colitis. Throughout the recovery phase, we observed that the iron-enriched diet proved especially beneficial for the weaned mice. By day three of recovery, those on the iron diet showed less weight loss, shorter colon lengths, and less damage to intestinal structure compared to their counterparts. Iron not only promoted the vitality of intestinal stem cells but also helped maintain the integrity of the intestinal lining. Furthermore, analyses of organoids revealed that the iron diet stimulated the expression of certain genes involved in differentiation and metabolism, which suggests a deeper mechanism at play. Overall, this study indicates that dietary iron may significantly enhance the repair of intestinal injuries and support the regeneration of healthy tissue following inflammation. 9 Gentle and effective Most Useful Review I bought this for my brother, who has ulcerative colitis and struggles with iron absorption. Most iron supplements upset his stomach or aren't absorbed well; however, this one is very effective. He experienced no side effects or nausea, and his energy levels improved after a few weeks. It's mild yet effective – I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with digestive issues or inflammatory bowel disease!
