What Is Bariatric Advantage FloraVantage Balance?
If you’ve had bariatric surgery, your digestive system goes through major changes. Bariatric Advantage FloraVantage Balance is a once-daily probiotic designed to help maintain healthy gut flora after surgery. Each capsule contains a proprietary blend of two well-studied strains—Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07. These work together to support digestive comfort and nutrient absorption as part of your post-surgery wellbeing plan.*
Key Strains in This Formula
The formula features two clinically relevant strains chosen for their complementary roles:
-
Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM: This strain colonises the small intestine and helps maintain a healthy gut barrier. It produces lactic acid, creating an environment that discourages harmful bacteria.*
-
Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07: Known for supporting immune function and reducing occasional digestive discomfort, this strain is resilient in the gastrointestinal tract.*
Each capsule delivers a high count of live cultures, with strains selected for stability and effectiveness through the expiration date.
Key Benefits of This Probiotic Supplement
The unique strain combination offers several potential benefits for bariatric patients:
-
Supports Healthy Intestinal Flora: After surgery, your gut bacteria can be disrupted due to dietary changes and reduced stomach acidity. These probiotics help restore balance.*
-
Helps Immune Function: A large part of your immune system is in your gut. A healthy microbiome can help maintain your body’s natural defence.*
-
Eases Digestive Discomfort: Many people experience bloating, gas, or irregularity post-surgery. Probiotics may help ease these symptoms by promoting regular bowel movements.*
-
Boosts Nutrient Absorption: A balanced gut is essential for absorbing vitamins and minerals. This formula supports that process.*
Each bottle provides a 60-day supply of easy to swallow capsules, making it simple to add to your daily routine.
Who Should Take FloraVantage Balance?
This probiotic is created with bariatric patients in mind—whether you’ve had gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or adjustable gastric banding. It’s also suitable for anyone looking for quality digestive support. Key groups include:
-
People After Bariatric Surgery: Those recovering from or living with weight loss surgery who need extra gut health support.
-
Individuals with Digestive Sensitivities: If you experience occasional bloating or irregularity, this gentle formula may help restore balance.
-
Adults Wanting Immune Support: Since gut health is linked to immunity, maintaining a healthy microbiome can support overall wellbeing.*
Always talk to your healthcare provider before starting any supplement, especially if you are immunocompromised or have a medical condition.
How to Choose the Right Probiotic After Bariatric Surgery
Not all probiotics are the same, and bariatric patients have specific needs. Consider these factors:

-
Potency and Viability: Choose a product that guarantees live organisms until the expiry date. FloraVantage Balance uses strains selected for stability.
-
Form and Dosing: Capsules offer precise dosing. A once-daily regimen makes it easy to stick with.
-
Quality and Purity: Opt for supplements from reputable manufacturers that follow Good Manufacturing Practices. Bariatric Advantage is a trusted name in the bariatric community.
FloraVantage Balance meets all these criteria, offering a tailored solution for post-surgery digestive wellbeing.
