The UK’s Specialist Hub for Probiotic Evidence & Gut Health Research

Welcome to the Probiotics UK & Gut Health Knowledge Hub, the central resource for evidence-based research on the original De Simone Formulation (CDS22). This hub provides UK readers, patients, and healthcare professionals with clinical guides, high-potency strain comparisons, and the latest gastroenterology updates dispatched from our Lancashire facility.

Probiotic.co.uk publishes UK-focused guides on probiotics, microbiome science, and digestive health. Articles reference guidance from the NHS, UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) regulations on food supplements, and peer-reviewed clinical research in gastroenterology and microbiome science where relevant.


Our editorial focus includes probiotics for IBS, ulcerative colitis, pouchitis, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, microbiome restoration after antibiotics, and general digestive health support. Many guides discuss the Original De Simone Formulation (CDS22), a high-strength probiotic formulation studied in more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific publications.


Content is written for UK readers and reflects UK supplement regulations, NHS clinical pathways, and real-world patient questions commonly seen in gastroenterology practice. From our cold-chain facility in Chorley, Lancashire, we monitor developments in gut microbiome research and translate emerging science into clear guidance for clinicians, pharmacists, and informed consumers across the UK.
