lactic acid bacillus

Funbio is a probiotic formulation developed and marketed by Switzer Life Science, primarily available as a dry syrup for pediatric use. The active ingredient is *Lactic Acid Bacillus* (also known as *Bacillus coagulans*), a spore-forming bacterium that is resistant to gastric acid and colonizes the intestinal tract. Funbio is used to restore the natural balance of gut microbiota, which can be disrupted by infections or antibiotic use. It is commonly indicated for the management of acute diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and various digestive disorders such as indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). By producing lactic acid and competing with pathogenic bacteria for nutrients and adhesion sites, it helps maintain a healthy intestinal environment and supports immune function.
