Frequently Asked Questions About SIBO supplements

Q: How does an effective SIBO supplement work?

An effective SIBO supplement works by targeting the underlying causes and symptoms associated with this condition. SIBO occurs when there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine, leading to various digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. To address these issues, a good SIBO supplement should contain ingredients with antimicrobial properties, such as Oregano, Berberine, and Garlic extracts, to reduce the overgrowth of bacteria and yeast in the small intestine. By targeting and reducing bacterial overgrowth, these ingredients then help to restore bacterial balance in the small intestine and promote a healthy gut environment.

The correct formula holds the key to success, so look for something that contains ingredients that work to kill unwanted bacteria and yeast in the small intestine, reduce inflammation, and promote a healthy gut microbiome. The formula should not be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven to be effective and are backed by scientific research for optimum results. 

Q: Do all SIBO supplements work?

Unfortunately, they do not. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health supplement trends, formulating supplements that contain unnecessary or inactive ingredients and the wrong potency or amounts. Often, they even add cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings, or preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients. Do your homework and check the labels to make sure you are taking a quality product and not just some inactive powders in a pill. 

Q: What are the important points to look out for?

SIBO supplements should:

• contain Oregano, Barberry, and Garlic – 3 key herbs with proven antimicrobial properties to destroy damaging bacteria and help ease symptoms.
• contain significant amounts of the most beneficial compounds of these herbs, such as 5% Berberine and 0.2% Allicin.
• be paired with Caprylic acid to repopulate and balance the gut with healthy bacteria as well as reduce harmful bacteria.     
• contain BioPerine^® (or similar) to aid absorption, efficacy, and faster results.
• not contain any binders, fillers, additives, hormones, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.
• be pure, natural and with no unnecessary ingredients that could reduce the effectiveness of the product.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition or are taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for SIBO supplements?

Again, this differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the instructions carefully. If you exceed the suggested dosage you could pose health risks to yourself. Generally, we found that most products suggest taking 2 capsules per day. Some people like to take the complete daily serving together, but we recommend spacing it out to achieve optimal benefits from the ingredients contained within the formula.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects within a few weeks. For others, it can take longer. Everybody is different. Additionally, results will vary depending on other factors such as the type of diet you consume, your lifestyle choices, and genetic disposition. If you’re skeptical about seeing results, choose a provider who offers a complete money-back satisfaction guarantee as this indicates the manufacturer’s confidence in their product. 

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good SIBO supplement?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless supplements that have been formulated without any thought for safety or efficacy. Some of these companies are selling their products for around $100 per bottle, which is much too expensive. On average, the best supplements we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Oftentimes, a cheaper price is indicative of low quality or a low recommended serving, which will not be sufficiently effective. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which SIBO supplement is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Approved Science Siboprin the most. We found that from the 50+ products that we analyzed, Approved Science Siboprin had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, consumer feedback, and customer service.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. We hope that our research has gone some way in helping you make your choice. If you are looking for an effective product, we think you can’t go wrong with Approved Science Siboprin. It is an excellent quality product with great reviews and is well priced.
