Your gut takes a beating during hard training. Research shows intense exercise reduces gut microbial diversity and can increase gut permeability, leading to bloating, cramping, and that mid-run GI disaster you're trying to avoid.

Specific probiotic supplementation can significantly reduce markers of muscle damage and inflammation after intense training while enhancing gut health and supporting nutrient absorption.

Designs for Sport Probiotic 50 delivers 50 billion CFUs from 10 clinically-researched strains in every shelf-stable capsule—that's 2.5x more potency than other sports probiotics.

A High Performance Probiotic

Higher CFU Count – Most sports probiotics give you 15-20 billion CFUs and call it a day. Probiotic 50 delivers 50 billion CFUs of specifically selected strains proven to support athletic recovery and gut barrier function. The dose matters when your training volume is high.

Designed For the Athlete – Designs for Sport Probiotic 50 was built to support serious training and performance goals. It promotes gut health, immune function, and athletic recovery.

Survives Your Stomach Acid – Delayed-release technology plus moisture- and oxygen-resistant packaging means these bacteria actually make it to your gut alive. No refrigeration needed, and they maintain potency for your entire training season.

Studies show probiotic supplementation helps athletes recover faster by reducing muscle soreness, improving sleep quality, and lowering inflammation markers like C-reactive protein.

The mechanism is straightforward: a balanced gut microbiome enhances nutrient absorption (especially protein and amino acids), supports immune function during high training loads, and maintains gut barrier integrity when you're pushing hard. Athletes taking probiotics show reduced GI symptoms during prolonged exercise —meaning fewer bathroom emergencies during long runs or races.

How to Use Probiotic 50

Daily Dose: Take 1 capsule daily with a meal, any time of day. Consistency matters more than timing.

Best Practice: Start at least 7-10 days before key training blocks or races to allow beneficial bacteria to colonize.

Pro Tip: Pair with your post-workout protein shake—probiotics enhance amino acid absorption, maximizing your recovery benefits.
