Lobun Capsule

Lobun Capsule

Lobun Capsule from J.B. Chemicals is a probiotic supplement built around the gut–kidney axis. Each hard gelatin capsule delivers not less than 15 billion cells of a four-strain blend. The idea behind it is enteric dialysis: when kidney function falls, nitrogenous waste such as urea and creatinine builds up in the blood and some of it diffuses into the bowel. These bacteria consume that waste as a nutrient source, so more of it leaves in the stool instead of circulating. Lobun supports – but never replaces – prescribed renal care. Strip of 10 capsules.

Key Features

• Not less than 15 billion CFU per capsule from four complementary strains.
• Includes Bacillus coagulans, a spore-forming strain that survives stomach acid well.
• Heat-stable formulation – no refrigeration needed.
• Overages added at manufacture to offset the natural loss of live cells in storage.
• From J.B. Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals; strip of 10 hard gelatin capsules.

Composition / Key Ingredients

Each hard gelatin capsule contains not less than 15 billion cells of a blend of:

• Streptococcus thermophilus
• Lactobacillus acidophilus
• Bifidobacterium longum
• Bacillus coagulans – earlier known as Lactobacillus sporogenes
• Empty capsule shell – contains approved colours

Please refer to the pack label for the complete list of ingredients.

Uses & Benefits

• Acts as an enteric dialyser, helping the bowel clear nitrogenous waste.
• Supports the reduction of blood urea, creatinine and uric acid.
• Helps maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota.
• Supportive nutritional care alongside treatment for reduced kidney function.
• Helps ease the bloating and irregularity that often accompany uraemia.
• Useful where antibiotics or illness have disturbed the gut flora.

Directions for Use

• 3 capsules daily, or as directed by your physician – this is the dose printed on the pack.
• Swallow each capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew or open it.
• Taking them with or just after meals is usually better tolerated.
• Leave about 2 hours between Lobun and any antibiotic, which would otherwise kill the live cultures.

Precautions

• Not a substitute for prescribed medicines, renal diet, dialysis or specialist kidney care. Use only under a nephrologist’s supervision if you have kidney impairment.
• Continue your prescribed treatment and laboratory monitoring unchanged.
• Seek medical advice first if you are immunocompromised or have a central venous catheter – live probiotics carry a small infection risk in these groups.
• Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient on the pack, or if the blister is damaged.
• Mild bloating or gas can occur in the first few days and usually settles; stop and consult a doctor if it persists.
• Consult a doctor before giving to children or if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

• Store in a cool place, protected from moisture. Refrigeration is not required.
• Keep capsules in the original blister until use, away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
