LeanBiome Ingredients: Every Line on the Supplement Facts Label

LeanBiome ingredients at a glance

The panel sets a serving at two capsules, with 30 servings in each 60-capsule bottle, and no Daily Value is established for any line. The bottle also carries a “doctor formulated” badge, which is the label’s own wording. This is the panel, line by line:

Label line	Printed amount	In plain English
Lactobacillus gasseri	25 mg, 10 billion CFU	A Lactobacillus strain with a line to itself
Lactobacillus rhamnosus	10 mg, 5 billion CFU	A second Lactobacillus strain with its own line
Proprietary blend	10 mg, 5 billion CFU	Seven more strains sharing one figure
Inulin	200 mg	A fibre from chicory root
Green tea phytosome	300 mg	Green tea extract bound to a phospholipid
Sphaeranthus indicus	300 mg	A plant extract
Garcinia mangostana	100 mg	An extract of the mangosteen rind

There is a dose on every label line, so the panel reads clearly. The one thing to keep in mind is that the proprietary blend is a single row, so its seven strains share that one figure. Our full review explains how that feeds into our score.

The probiotic lines

LeanBiome combines nine named bacteria. Two of them, Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, get a line each: the first brings 10 billion CFU in 25 mg and the second 5 billion CFU in 10 mg. The remaining seven sit together in the proprietary blend, which is three Lactobacillus strains (L. fermentum, L. paracasei and L. plantarum) and four Bifidobacterium strains (B. bifidum, B. lactis, B. longum and B. breve).

CFU stands for colony-forming units, a way of counting live bacteria. Add the three printed figures, 10 and 5 and 5 billion, and a serving reaches 20 billion CFU. That total is our own sum of the numbers on the panel and not a line the label prints itself. The seller says the delayed-release capsule has a coating that resists stomach acid, which is meant to help the live bacteria reach the gut.

Inulin, the fibre line

Inulin, at 200 mg, comes from chicory root (Cichorium intybus). It is a plant fibre that friendly bacteria feed on, which is why it often appears beside probiotics. The seller presents it as part of a formula built around a balanced gut microbiome.

Green tea phytosome

At 300 mg, this is the largest of the plant lines. The label describes a green tea leaf extract (Camellia sinensis), decaffeinated, joined to a phospholipid complex from sunflower. The seller calls it a Greenselect Phytosome. If you keep an eye on caffeine through the day, that wording on the panel is worth knowing.

Sphaeranthus indicus and Garcinia mangostana

Sphaeranthus indicus is a plant extract at 300 mg. Garcinia mangostana is listed from the pericarp, which is the rind of the mangosteen fruit, at 100 mg. The seller combines both with the green tea and the inulin in a formula positioned for a weight-management routine. We describe them simply as plant extracts and leave any claims to the seller.

Other ingredients

What is left makes up the capsule itself and its flow aids: gellan gum, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The label carries a vegan badge, and the seller adds that the product is free from GMOs and BPA as well as gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, nuts and crustaceans. These are the seller’s statements, and anyone with an allergy should read the label on the bottle.

How the label fits together

Think of the panel as three groups. The probiotic group is the first three lines, and it carries the CFU figures. The fibre group is inulin on its own. The plant group is green tea phytosome, Sphaeranthus indicus and Garcinia mangostana. A reader who prefers short lists can use those three groups to compare LeanBiome with other labels. Seen group by group, the label explains why the seller calls it a probiotic and green tea formula.

How to take it

Directions on the label: two delayed-release capsules daily, or whatever your health care provider advises. The seller adds that water and the morning, ahead of breakfast, suit the routine, and one bottle lasts 30 days. It also recommends three to six months of use, since the research it cites lasted about three months. Keep the bottle somewhere cool, dark and dry, away from children, and leave it unused if the seal is broken.

Who should ask a doctor first

The label’s caution is brief: pregnancy, nursing, being under 18 or living with a medical condition are reasons to seek a physician’s advice before taking this or any dietary supplement. Our own list is a little longer. Probiotics contain live bacteria, so anyone with a weakened immune system, anyone on immune-suppressing medicine and anyone with a serious illness should ask a doctor first. Carry on with every prescribed medicine. Mild digestive changes can happen when you begin a probiotic. Our safety guide covers this in more depth.

Our take on the formula

The panel is easy to read, with an amount beside every line and a clear split between bacteria, fibre and plants. The seven-strain blend sharing one figure is the one detail worth noting. We score the formula 4.5 out of 5 overall. The ingredients page in our product section keeps the label summary short, and our price guide shows what each package costs.

Reading any probiotic label

Three habits help with any probiotic panel. First, check the serving size, because every amount refers to it: here it is two capsules. Second, look at how the bacteria are listed. Some strains have a line of their own, while others sit inside a blend that shows a single figure, as the seven strains do here. Third, read the other ingredients, which describe the capsule and its flow aids. A minute with those three habits makes any label easier to understand.

Keeping the panel for later

Once the bottle arrives, the panel on it is the most useful document you have. Photograph it, or keep the bottle where you can read it, so that you can share exactly what you take with a doctor or pharmacist. The LeanBiome product page lists the same lines next to the packages, and our price guide shows what each package costs.

How the lines fit a morning routine

The label suits a simple habit. Two capsules a day deliver every line on the panel at once, so there is nothing to count or combine. If you like to see where a day begins and ends, the seller suggests the morning, before breakfast, with water. Our LeanBiome product page lists the label beside the packages, which makes it easy to match the panel to your own bottle when it arrives.
