mBIOTA Labs, an emerging medical food company advancing the science and use of medical nutrition for the management of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, today announced the expansion of the mBIOTA Elemental Diet portfolio with the introduction of Lemon Ginger, a new flavor designed to improve the patient experience and support protocol adherence.

Flavor fatigue during an exclusive elemental diet protocol can often present a potential barrier to patient compliance. mBIOTA Labs developed the first fully elemental diet to achieve 100% patient compliance in a clinical trial and today reduces the impact of flavor fatigue on patient outcomes, continuing their commitment to making the elemental diet journey easier by expanding flavor variety and increasing patient choice.

“mBIOTA Labs was created to reduce longstanding barriers to GI relief – starting with elemental diet palatability,” said Nicola Wodlinger, CEO of mBIOTA Labs. “Now, we’re making the patient experience even smoother by providing more flavor options in the same science-backed and clinically-proven formula that gastroenterologists, dietitians, and more trust for their patients. We’re very grateful to be working with such incredible researchers and food scientists in our ongoing mission to solve the often overlooked challenges of GI patient experiences.”

The new Lemon Ginger flavor is a scientific success that supports patient experience while maintaining the integrity of a clinically-proven medical food formula. Developed by leading gastroenterologists and innovative food scientists, the mBIOTA Elemental Diet:

  • Contains only the simplest and cleanest ingredients in their most “elemental” form.

  • Allows digestive systems to rest and reset.

  • Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free, Soy-Free, Kosher and Vegan.

  • Contains no artificial sweeteners, Stevia, Monkfruit, or flavor additives.

  • Provides relief across 12 common GI symptoms.

mBIOTA also introduced a variety pack option, offering customers a mix of mBIOTA Elemental’s three flavors – Original (a tropical vanilla), Orange, and Lemon Ginger – in one convenient protocol package. For more information or to order the new Lemon Ginger flavor now, visit mBIOTA Labs’ website.

FAQs

What is mBIOTA Elemental Diet?

  • mBIOTA Elemental Diet is a rapidly absorbed form of comprehensive nutrition that requires minimal digestive effort, enabling the GI tract to rest and recover.

What health conditions does an Elemental Diet help?

  • Hundreds of clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of elemental diets in managing a variety of health conditions. mBIOTA Elemental Diet was designed to manage gastrointestinal dysfunctions like small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and more. mBIOTA Labs is actively investigating additional clinical applications as recent research suggests mBIOTA Elemental Diet is also effective at managing other inflammatory conditions.

How long should an Elemental Diet last?

  • Depending on the condition, elemental diets are recommended by gastroenterologists in exclusive two-week protocols. mBIOTA Elemental Diet is also available in one-week extensions and shorter maintenance packs. For some conditions, depending on the patient’s symptom severity and adjunct therapeutics, mBIOTA Elemental is recommended supplementally. Individuals should consult their physician when selecting a plan.

What comes in an order of mBIOTA Elemental Diet?

  • A two-week plan of mBIOTA Elemental Diet includes: a 14-day supply (84 servings) of our elemental diet powder, two shaker bottles with stainless steel blender balls, a welcome guide with detailed directions and tips, and more. mBIOTA customers also have access to a customer care team of support specialists for guidance at any point of their elemental diet journey.

Why is palatability so important for Elemental Diet Adherence?

  • Due to the “sulfuric” taste of traditional elemental formulas, palatability has historically been the number one barrier to individuals completing a full elemental diet protocol. In a 2023 clinical trial conducted by Cedars-Sinai’s Motility Clinic, mBIOTA Elemental Diet became the first fully-elemental formula to achieve 100% patient compliance thanks to its groundbreaking palatability innovation.
