Formula Overview Probiotic blend (4 billion CFU): LactoSpore (Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856), MuniSpore (Bacillus clausii CSI08), Bacillus subtilis DE111. Botanical blend: Quercetin, Marshmallow root, Aloe vera leaf gel. A note from Evey Proflora 4R is a spore-forming probiotic built around three Bacillus strains: LactoSpore (Bacillus coagulans), MuniSpore (Bacillus clausii), and DE111 (Bacillus subtilis), delivering four billion CFU per capsule. Spore-forming probiotics travel through the upper digestive tract intact and germinate in the small and large intestines, which makes them more reliable than fragile lactic-acid strains for steady gut support. What differentiates Proflora 4R is the addition of marshmallow root, aloe vera leaf, and quercetin alongside the spore-forming strains. The botanical layer soothes the gut lining while the probiotics establish themselves, which is a pairing logic I appreciate. Most probiotic capsules are bacteria alone; this one tends to the surrounding terrain as part of the same job. What gets eaten sits at the center of how I think about probiotics. The healthiest gut microbiome is built mostly by what arrives on the plate every day, and a probiotic capsule is alignment support rather than a substitute for fiber-rich, varied food. Proflora 4R fits cleanly into that picture as a daily input that supports the body's own work rather than overriding it. Take one capsule daily with food, and discuss longer courses or pairing with other gut support with your practitioner, especially if you are working through a sequenced plan.
