Product Description
Most probiotic supplements do one thing: just add bacteria to your gut.
FloraMend Prime Probiotic chose specific strains Thorne to make it meaningfully different. This three-strain formula combines Lactobacillus gasseri KS-13 with Bifidobacterium longum MM-2 and Bifidobacterium bifidum G9-1, each chosen for documented clinical research behind their specific benefits. The result is a daily probiotic that covers digestive balance, immune function, and body composition support simultaneously — in a single acid-resistant capsule that doesn't require refrigeration.
The Body Composition Strain – Lactobacillus gasseri KS-13 is one of only two Lactobacillus species with human research specifically supporting weight management. A clinical study on this strain found an average 4.6% reduction in visceral and subcutaneous body fat with accompanying improvements in body weight, waist circumference, and BMI. Notably, other common Lactobacillus strains — including L. acidophilus and L. fermentum — may actually improve energy utilization in ways that work against body composition goals.
Colon Health and Immune Support – B. bifidum supports gut immunity, maintains beneficial flora balance, and helps regulate colonic pH. B. longum supports immune function in the GI tract, enhances absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous, and supports bowel regularity. Together they cover the colon health and immune function dimensions that Lactobacillus strains alone don't address.
Acid-Resistant, Shelf-Stable Delivery – Fragile probiotic strains are easily destroyed by stomach acid before reaching the intestines where they need to work. FloraMend's delayed-release capsule is specifically designed to be acid and moisture-resistant, protecting the live cultures through gastric transit and delivering them to the lower GI tract intact. The strains are also shelf-stable at room temperature through the expiration date — no refrigeration required, no compliance gap when traveling or racing.
How to Use Thorne FloraMend Prime Probiotic
Dosage: Take 1 capsule daily with a meal, or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. Consistent daily use is essential — probiotic benefits are transient and require regular replenishment to maintain.
Timing: Take with food to support a favorable transit environment. Many athletes incorporate it into their morning meal routine to build a consistent habit.
Pro Tip: FloraMend Prime covers daily maintenance and body composition support. For athletes who need higher-CFU support during heavy training blocks, travel, or after antibiotics, consider pairing or transitioning to a higher-dose multi-strain formula during those periods.

Thorne FloraMend Prime FAQ's
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Most probiotic supplements use common strains like L. acidophilus or L. fermentum without much consideration for the specific research behind individual strain effects. FloraMend uses three strains specifically selected for documented clinical benefits: L. gasseri KS-13 for body composition support, B. longum MM-2 for GI immune function and bowel regularity, and B. bifidum G9-1 for colon health and flora balance. The formula also intentionally avoids strains shown to work against body composition goals.
Standard capsules dissolve quickly in the acidic stomach environment, exposing fragile Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains to conditions that can destroy them before they reach the intestines. FloraMend's delayed-release capsule is specifically engineered to resist both acid and moisture, protecting the live cultures through gastric transit and releasing them in the lower GI tract where they can colonize and deliver their benefits. This is a meaningful delivery advantage over non-protected probiotic formats.
Both are Thorne probiotics and both are shelf-stable, but they work through different mechanisms. Thorne Bacillus Coagulans is a spore-forming single strain that survives stomach acid through biological armor — no capsule protection needed. FloraMend Prime delivers three Lactobacillus/Bifidobacterium strains protected by an acid-resistant delayed-release capsule. The Bacillus coagulans product offers single-strain reliability and spore-based survival; FloraMend offers a three-strain blend with body composition research behind L. gasseri. The two can be used together for complementary coverage.
Thorne's proprietary culturing methods make the strains in FloraMend stable at room temperature through the expiration date. Shelf stability is confirmed — the 5 billion CFU count on the label is guaranteed through expiration, not just at time of manufacture. This makes it practical for travel, race trips, and keeping at your desk without worrying about maintaining a cold chain.
