Lobun Forte Strip Of 10 Capsules

Lobun Forte is a scientifically formulated probiotic supplement designed to delay the progression of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) from stages 3–4 to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). It contains not less than 45 billion CFU(colony-forming units) of four potent strains: Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, and Bacillus coagulans. These strains support gut health, reduce uremic toxins, and modulate inflammation. By facilitating a gut dialysis-like mechanism, Lobun Forte helps metabolise and eliminate nitrogenous waste, thereby easing renal burden and improving quality of life.

Helps delay CKD progression from stage 3 to 4 to ESRD by modulating gut microbiota and reducing nitrogenous waste.

Helps support the gut-kidney axis by reducing intestinal production and absorption of harmful uremic toxins, such as indoxyl sulfate and p-cresol.

Helps improve Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), lowers serum creatinine and BUN levels, and enhances overall kidney function.

Demonstrates significant improvement in quality of life, reducing fatigue, inflammation, and oxidative stress in CKD patients.

Helps promote metabolic balance and reduces cardiovascular risk by enhancing antioxidant markers and minimising inflammatory biomarkers.

Streptococcus thermophilus (High urease-utilising microbe)

Bacillus coagulans (Modifies gut permeability for toxin elimination)

Bifidobacterium longum (Removes putrefactive bacteria)

Lactobacillus acidophilus (Eliminates p-Cresol & Indoxyl toxins)

Mild bloating or abdominal discomfort may occur initially as the gut microbiota adapts to probiotic supplementation.

Flatulence or mild changes in bowel habits can arise in sensitive individuals but are typically self-limiting.

Rarely, allergic reactions such as itching or rash may occur due to sensitivity to a particular probiotic strain.

Individuals with an immunocompromised status may be at a higher risk of infections; therefore, probiotic use should be supervised in such cases.

Always consult a healthcare provider before initiating, especially if undergoing other treatments for CKD or gastrointestinal issues.

Take one capsule twice daily or as prescribed by a nephrologist or healthcare professional.

Swallow whole with water, preferably after meals, for better gastrointestinal tolerance and probiotic absorption.

Maintain consistent usage for a minimum of 6 months to achieve measurable clinical benefits.

Do not exceed the recommended dosage without consulting a medical professional to avoid adverse effects or imbalances.

Adherence to a prescribed CKD diet, alongside the use of probiotics, enhances clinical outcomes and gut health benefits.

Precautions and Warnings

Not recommended for immunocompromised patients unless explicitly advised by a healthcare provider.

Patients with known allergy to any listed probiotic strains should avoid Lobun Forte.

Use with caution in children and the elderly, as clinical supervision is recommended for these age groups.

Inform your physician about any concurrent use of antibiotics or immunosuppressants, as this may interfere with the efficacy of probiotics.

Lobun Forte should be part of a comprehensive CKD treatment plan and not a standalone therapy.

Safety & Storage Information

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain microbial viability.

Keep out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental ingestion.

Do not use if the capsule blister is damaged or past its expiry date as indicated on the label.

Refrigeration is preferred for maintaining a prolonged shelf life, although it is not mandatory unless specified on the packaging.

Ensure the product remains tightly sealed in its original container to prevent moisture contamination.

Q1: Can Lobun Forte be taken alongside phosphate binders or iron supplements?
Ans: Yes, Lobun Forte can be used with phosphate binders or iron supplements; however, a gap of 2–3 hours is recommended to avoid potential interactions.

Q2: Does Lobun Forte affect appetite or cause any weight changes?
Ans: Lobun Forte is not known to directly influence appetite or body weight, but improved gut function may affect nutritional absorption.

Q3: Is Lobun Forte suitable for diabetic CKD patients?
Ans: Yes, Lobun Forte is suitable for diabetic nephropathy patients, but it must be taken under medical supervision to manage metabolic complications.

Q4: Can Lobun Forte be used during dialysis?
Ans: Lobun Forte may be continued during dialysis to support gut health and minimise residual uremic toxins, with physician approval.

Q5: Are there any dietary restrictions while using Lobun Forte?
Ans: No specific dietary restrictions are imposed by Lobun Forte itself, but patients must follow CKD-prescribed diets as per nephrologist advice.

Q6: How long after antibiotic treatment can one start taking Lobun Forte?
Ans: It is advisable to wait 24–48 hours after completing antibiotics before starting Lobun Forte, to allow the recolonisation of beneficial bacteria.

Q7: Is Lobun Forte vegan or vegetarian friendly?
Ans: Lobun Forte capsules may contain gelatin; users should verify capsule composition with the manufacturer if following a strict vegetarian/vegan diet.

Q8: Can Lobun Forte be opened and mixed with food?
Ans: While it is best consumed whole, Lobun Forte capsules can be opened and the contents mixed with soft food if swallowing is difficult, as advised.

Q9: Is Lobun Forte effective in preventing CKD-related gastrointestinal discomfort?
Ans: Yes, many users report reduced bloating, constipation, and discomfort due to gut microbiota modulation, though it is not a primary indication.

Q10: Does Lobun Forte require continuous use or can it be cycled?
Ans: For optimal results, continuous daily use is recommended. However, cycling may be considered based on clinical markers and physician assessment.
