Lactobacillus improves IBS-C symptomsClinical assessment and cytokines level in constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome participants treated with Lactobacillus-containing cultured milk drink.
Consistent findings support treatment benefit
We investigated how a cultured milk drink containing Lactobacillus acidophilus affects symptoms of constipation in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). Over 30 days, participants consumed the drink daily.
At the end of the study, an impressive 97.4% of IBS-C participants reported improvement in their constipation-related symptoms. We also noticed reductions in intestinal transit time and pro-inflammatory cytokines linked to IBS. Overall, this suggests that including this cultured milk drink may be a beneficial addition to IBS-C treatment plans.

BLa80 shows promise for constipation subsp. BLa80 alleviates constipation in mice through modulating the stem cell factor (SCF)/c-Kit pathway and the gut microbiota.
Relevance score indicates high potential
We explored the impact of Bifidobacterium lactis BLa80 on constipation using mice that were induced with functional constipation through loperamide treatment. In our study, we compared BLa80 to a blank group and a positive control.
The results indicated that BLa80 improved intestinal movement, increased fecal moisture, and balanced gut bacteria. It also helped regulate important gut hormones. Overall, BLa80 shows promise as a potential new option for relieving constipation in functional foods.

We investigated the effects of Bifidobacterium lactis subsp. TG11 on loperamide-induced constipation in mice. The mice were grouped into control and treatment categories, receiving different doses of the probiotic.
After treatment, those receiving TG11 showed improved intestinal motility and maintained better fecal water content. Notably, the probiotic also positively affected gut microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria and promoting short-chain fatty acid production.
Overall, Bifidobacterium lactis TG11 appears effective in alleviating constipation, potentially by enhancing gut health.

Bifidobacterium lactis effective for constipationBifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BLa80 regulates the intestinal habit in adults with chronic constipation: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Relevant study on chronic constipation
We assessed how Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BLa80 could help adults struggling with chronic constipation. In a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 46 participants, we compared the effects of the probiotic against a placebo over 12 weeks.
Our findings revealed that those taking the probiotic experienced a significant improvement in stool consistency and a reduction in constipation symptoms. By weeks 8 and 12, their stool types shifted towards more normal classifications on the Bristol scale, while constipation rates increased in the placebo group.
This highlights the potential of Bifidobacterium lactis as a helpful solution for managing constipation.

We assessed the effectiveness of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis XLTG11 in helping children with functional constipation through a well-structured study with a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled design. The children were split into two groups: one received the probiotic treatment alongside conventional care, while the other did not.
Over the treatment period, we saw a consistent increase in bowel movements in the group taking the probiotic, showing higher fecal frequency compared to the control group. Additionally, the beneficial bacteria in their guts improved, which suggests that this treatment is a promising approach for managing constipation in children.

User Reviews
Amazing probiotics. BEST I have tried! After being hospitalised for a severe bone infection, my doctor suggested a good quality probiotic. I researched and found Renew Life Ultimate Flora for women. These are truly great! I've suffered from severe constipation due to pain medication and was lucky to "go" once a week. This probiotic has made me "regular" for the first time ever. You only take 1 pill daily with no harsh side effects. I feel lighter and better overall, though I wish it arrived with a cold pack to maintain potency.

I never realised I had a mild case of constipation until I decided to start taking probiotics for overall health. I've tried various brands but none have been as effective as this one. It promotes healthy, painless bowel movements daily and balances my bacteria. Since I began taking these probiotics and cleaning up my diet, I've not had another outbreak of BV. I find it more effective when refrigerated, despite it being non-refrigerated during shipment. It's hard to return to regular probiotics once you've tried this premium option.

Most effective probiotic I've tried! I have long dealt with reflux, gastritis, and chronic constipation. While working to reduce my reflux medications, I have finally become regular. I've tried various brands, even those recommended by my doctor, but this one is the standout. Highly recommended.

This is the real deal, an integral part of my recovery. I am using this product to help combat a serious recurring episode of candida worsened by surgical menopause. I suffer from chronic constipation and have had numerous health issues after prolonged antibiotic use. I believe I need to take these twice daily as my absorption is hindered by my medication. I cannot give it 5 stars as I still experience chronic candida, but this has worked wonders for my digestive system. After several years of issues, these are helping in getting my digestive system moving regularly.
