Pepti-BIOTIC contains Lactobacillus delbrueckii R0187, a specialized probiotic strain combined with soy proteins to produce bioactive, anti-inflammatory postbiotic peptides specifically targeted for upper digestive disorders. This unique fermentation process creates therapeutic compounds that address the root causes of reflux, heartburn, and functional dyspepsia through multiple coordinated mechanisms.

Lactobacillus delbrueckii R0187 works by producing bioactive peptides and metabolites that suppress key esophageal and gastric inflammatory cytokines, including IL-4, IL-6, and IL-8, thereby reducing mucosal irritation and hypersensitivity to acid exposure. The strain also enhances protective prostaglandin E2 activity, strengthening the stomach and esophageal lining while improving epithelial barrier integrity. These postbiotic compounds reduce esophageal sensitivity, promote healthier microbial activity, and support improved gastric emptying, which collectively decrease reflux events and burning sensations over time.

Clinical research has demonstrated the remarkable effectiveness of Lactobacillus delbrueckii R0187 for upper digestive complaints. After 12 weeks of supplementation, patients experienced a 47.6% reduction in heartburn severity, a 62.9% decrease in regurgitation episodes, and a 40.9% improvement in dyspepsia symptoms. Additionally, inflammatory cytokine levels were reduced by 20-43%, confirming the strain's anti-inflammatory mechanism of action [29].

The supporting ingredients in Pepti-BIOTIC enhance the therapeutic effects and patient experience. Citric acid anhydrous helps maintain product stability and may support digestive pH balance, while maltodextrin serves as a prebiotic substrate that can nourish beneficial gut bacteria. Natural watermelon flavour and thaumatin (a natural sweetener) improve palatability, encouraging consistent supplementation. Beta vulgaris (beetroot) powder provides natural color and contains nitrates and antioxidants that may offer additional cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits.
