Try Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 for IBS

Take B. infantis 35624 (sold as Align) daily if you have IBS symptoms. Follow the product dosing instructions (typically 1 capsule daily).

Why It Works

B. infantis 35624 is one of the few probiotic strains with moderate clinical evidence specifically for IBS global symptom reduction. It has been studied in multiple randomized controlled trials showing improvement in abdominal pain, bloating, and bowel habit satisfaction compared to placebo.

Tips

• Effects are strain-specific — generic Bifidobacterium supplements are not equivalent
• L. plantarum 299v is another strain with IBS-specific evidence if Align is unavailable
• Allow 4-8 weeks of consistent use before evaluating effectiveness
• Probiotics for IBS work best as part of a broader strategy including diet and stress management
