Adare Biome™ Enters North American Distribution Through Stratum Nutrition® for LBiome™ Postbiotic
Washingtoner/10101202

CARTHAGE, Mo. - Washingtoner -- Stratum Nutrition®, (a business of ESM Technologies), and Adare Biome™, (a division of Adare Pharma Solutions) have entered into a value-added distribution agreement for LBiome™, a unique postbiotic composed of 2 human-origin strains that have been heat-stabilized with its culture medium. LBiome™, also known as Lactobacillus LB, has been used as a digestive health solution for over a century. This alliance adds strategic value for both companies within the dietary supplement marketplace.

Researched in postbiotic form for over 100 years, LBiome™ is the "Pioneer in Postbiotics", with 18 published clinical studies showing digestive health support for both adult and pediatric populations. LBiome™ provides the digestive benefits of a probiotic and the formulation flexibility of a spore, with none of the stability or manufacturing concerns.

Studies have shown that LBiome™ cells adhere to intestinal epithelial cells (the type of cells that line the gut) and strengthen the connections (tight junctions) between these cells. LBiome™ has been shown to rapidly calm lower GI upset as evidenced in the many published clinical studies that have demonstrated the beneficial effects of LBiome™.
