VSL#3 is now VISBIOME....I used to order VSL #3 and then they changed it to VISBIOME. I believe it's the same product.
Probiotics are like diet
For some they help
Others they do nothing or make them worse
most see improvements when the rectum is involved especially UC that is what VSL#3(now visobiome) was originally studied for.
vsl #3 was bought from the original owner 5 years ago (???)
The new owners changed the plant locations and the “formula “ of the probiotic
But never changed the claims that it was the same as the original version .
The FDA became involved and vsl#3 was stopped in production/sale in the US .
Due to this the original owner from the beginning started a new company visobiome which met all of the claims /studies for the fda with the original formula of probiotics
I know for my kiddo
The original vsl#3 worked
The changed version of vsl#3 (no milk protein present) did nothing
visobiome works for him as well
other probiotics out there have helped him a little but not as much as this stuff

It didn't seem to make a difference in my son's case.
