Ingredients
This page exists for people who want to verify, not just be told. Below is every ingredient in Velari Bio3tic®: why it was chosen, the form it takes, and the research behind it.
A different formulation philosophy
| Common in the category | Velari Bio3tic® | |
|---|---|---|
| Prebiotic | FOS or inulin — high-FODMAP, ferments quickly | Sunfiber® PHGG — low-FODMAP certified, gradual fermentation |
| Postbiotic | Often absent | EpiCor® — 500mg, 15+ published studies |
| Capsule | Standard | Acid-resistant delayed-release HPMC |
| Spore-stable strain | Uncommon | Bacillus coagulans |
| Formulation logic | Strain count | A defined role per ingredient |
EPICOR® — POSTBIOTIC · 500mg
EpiCor® is a whole-food fermentate produced by fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). Manufactured by Cargill.
Postbiotics are not live organisms. They are the metabolites, cell-wall fractions and bioactive compounds created through fermentation — active regardless of whether any live culture survives digestion.
Research basis - EpiCor® has over 15 published peer-reviewed studies. It has been examined using the SHIME® model (Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem), a validated in-vitro system that reproduces the conditions of the human gut. SHIME® research on EpiCor® has examined its interaction with the gut microbiome environment and the production of short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate — a compound produced by gut bacteria that is the focus of substantial ongoing research.
Dose - 500mg, consistent with the amount used in published EpiCor® research.
SUNFIBER® PHGG — PREBIOTIC · 300mg
Sunfiber® is a branded partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG) — a soluble fibre from guar beans. Registered trademark of Taiyo Kagaku.
Low-FODMAP certified by Monash University, the institution that developed the low-FODMAP protocol. Certification means independent testing confirmed low levels of fermentable short-chain carbohydrates.
Why it matters - FOS and inulin — two of the most common prebiotic fibres in supplements — are high-FODMAP and ferment quickly in the large intestine. Quick fermentation produces gas as a byproduct, which may contribute to bloating in some individuals. Sunfiber® PHGG ferments more gradually. Published research has examined its tolerability in people with IBS and in those who report sensitivity to other prebiotic fibres.
Also studied for gut transit time and stool consistency in adults.
Form note - Highly soluble; dissolves without thickening or gelling — relevant to formulation consistency.
PROBIOTIC BLEND — 30 Billion CFU
Synbæctive® (SYNBALANCE SRL) + Bacillus coagulans · measured at manufacture
Five strains, each selected for its research profile and role.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG — 5 Billion CFU
Among the most extensively documented probiotic strains in existence, with over 1,000 published studies and numerous randomised controlled trials.
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum PBS067 (DSM24937) — 10 Billion CFU
From one of the most researched probiotic species; a defined, deposited strain within the Synbæctive® platform.
Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BL050 (DSM 25566) — 7.5 Billion CFU
From one of the most studied Bifidobacterium species, researched across gut transit and digestive-comfort endpoints.
Bifidobacterium longum BLG240 (LMG P-29511) — 5 Billion CFU
A species naturally present in the human gut; a defined, deposited strain chosen for formulation compatibility.
Bacillus coagulans (spore-based) — 2.5 Billion CFU
Structurally distinct from the strains above. Spore-forming bacteria produce endospores — a protective structure that keeps the organism stable under stress, including the acidity of the stomach. This gives inherent stability through digestion, independent of the capsule. Studied across a range of digestive and microbiome endpoints.
ACID-RESISTANT CAPSULE · HPMC · 240mg
A functional part of the formula, not a passive shell.
The stomach sits at roughly pH 1.5–3.5. Standard capsules begin dissolving there almost immediately, and many probiotic strains lose viability on exposure to that acidity before reaching the intestine.
Velari Bio3tic® uses delayed-release capsules made from Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) — a plant-derived material designed to resist dissolution in the stomach and release contents further along the tract. It works alongside the spore-stability of Bacillus coagulans, not instead of it.
ZINC — as Zinc Bisglycinate · 10mg · 100% NRV
A chelated form (zinc bound to glycine), associated with higher bioavailability than inorganic forms such as zinc oxide.
Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
BIOTIN — as D-Biotin · 50µg · 100% NRV
D-biotin is the naturally occurring, biologically active form of vitamin B7 — the form recognised by human enzymes.
Biotin contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.
