Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Post-biotics have demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies the ability to modulate the microbiota, the intestinal barrier function, the immune response as well as having systemic effects, with prospects for good efficacy in treatment of IBS.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The Fermented FOS from Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-5220 (postbiotic) is the result of a controlled fermentation. The fermentation process allows to eliminate all the individual variability that depends on the microbiota, the diet and the psycho-physical conditions of the single individual, offering a mixture of bacterial metabolites and fermented fiber (postbiotic), which has the functional activity. In addition, as FOS is already fermented it does not induce the formation of gas typical of fiber fermentation in IBS patients, thus providing all the beneficial effects of the fiber without its side effects.
The fermented FOS from Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-5220 (postbiotic) is easily absorbed by the gut.
Dosage and method of use: PostbiotiX Slowing 4 g sachets, administered at the dosage of one sachet a day. To pour the contents of the sachet in a glass, add 150 ml of water, mix until complete dissolution of the powder and taken immediately, preferably as soon as awakened, and away from meals.
Ingredients: Maltodextrin, Aroma, Fermented FOS from Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-5220, mallow (Malva sylvestris L.) flowers and leaves d.e. tit. 20% polysaccharides, chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) flowers d.e. tit. 0.3% apigenin, acidity regulator: citric acid; anti-caking agent: silicon dioxide; sweetener: sucralose.
Conservation method: to be kept in a cool and dry place, away from light, humidity, and direct sources of heat.
