Daily gut support that actually fits your day.
Most probiotic supplements come in capsules packed with fillers, binders, and ingredients you don't need. They're hard to swallow, easy to forget, and half the time they sit in your cabinet untouched. The best gut support is the one you actually take every day.
VELA Metabolism strips deliver 10 billion CFU of Bifidobacterium lactis — one of the most researched probiotic strains for digestive health — paired with prebiotic fiber that feeds the probiotic once it arrives. Two active ingredients. No filler. No mystery blends. One strip on your tongue, once a day.
B. lactis is a non-gas-producing strain, which means it won't add to the bloating that capsules and pills often cause. It metabolizes without producing gas as a byproduct — so you're supporting your gut without making it worse in the process.†

Bifidobacterium lactis: one of the most studied probiotic strains in the world.
B. lactis has been the subject of over 40 published clinical studies across all age groups, from newborns to elderly adults. It holds Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) status from the European Food Safety Authority, is listed in the Inventory of Microbial Food Cultures with Safety Demonstration, and was accepted as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in the US in 2012. It is one of the most common probiotic strains in both the dietary supplement and dairy industries worldwide.*
A Frontiers in Nutrition review (2021) examined B. lactis across multiple dimensions of gut health: survival through the digestive tract, modulation of intestinal microbiota, maintenance of intestinal barrier function, regulation of gut motility, improvement of constipation symptoms, and assistance with macronutrient digestion.*
Gut transit and digestive symptoms.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 100 adults (64% female, mean age 44) with functional GI symptoms found that B. lactis HN019 supplementation significantly decreased whole gut transit time in a dose-dependent manner. The high-dose group (17.2 billion CFU) saw transit time drop from 49 hours to 21 hours (p < 0.001). Statistically significant improvements were also reported in flatulence, bloating, and constipation symptoms.*
A separate double-blind study of 60 patients (72% female) with functional bowel disorders found that a B. lactis blend significantly improved bloating severity at 4 weeks (p = 0.009) and 8 weeks (p < 0.01) compared to placebo. The IBS subgroup (n = 33) showed similar results.*
A study of 240 adult women without GI disorders found that a B. lactis fermented product improved gastrointestinal well-being and digestive symptoms including discomfort, bloating, and flatulence.*
An important note on the evidence.
Not all B. lactis trials show positive results. A 2024 triple-blind trial of 229 participants in China found that B. lactis HN019 at ~5–7 billion CFU did not outperform placebo for constipation (as measured by complete spontaneous bowel movements). The evidence for B. lactis is promising but mixed — benefits appear more consistent for digestive comfort and bloating than for constipation specifically. We include this because transparency matters more than cherry-picking.*
Why B. lactis won't make bloating worse.
Bifidobacterium species — including B. lactis — are generally non-gas producers. They metabolize carbohydrates via the fructose-6-phosphate pathway, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) without gas as a byproduct. This is a meaningful distinction from many other probiotic strains and from the fermentation that occurs with certain prebiotic fibers. In clinical observations, B. lactis supplementation has been associated with reduced flatulence — not increased.*
Polydextrose: the prebiotic fiber.
Polydextrose is a non-digestible, soluble fiber that passes through the small intestine intact and is partially fermented by colonic bacteria. It has been shown to selectively stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli at doses as low as 4–5g/day in clinical trials. The WHO and European Commission concluded it is well tolerated up to 90g/day or 50g as a single dose.*
At 50mg per strip, VELA's polydextrose dose is well below clinical study levels. It is included as a complementary prebiotic to support the probiotic, not as a standalone fiber supplement.*
