A Synbiotic Dietary Supplement Combining a Probiotic Strain With a Prebiotic Fibre
P3-OM is a dietary supplement containing a patented strain of Lactobacillus plantarum (designated "OM"), combined with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) as a prebiotic fibre. Each capsule provides 2.5 billion CFU (colony-forming units) of the probiotic strain.
The combination of a probiotic strain with a prebiotic fibre in a single capsule is referred to as a synbiotic formulation. The capsules are vegetarian, lactose-free, and shelf-stable at room temperature — refrigeration is not required.
Note: P3-OM is sold internationally under the name Probiotic Breakthrough. The formulation is identical; only the product name differs by region.
Single-Strain, Patented, Freeze-Dried, Shelf-Stable
- Contains a single probiotic strain — Lactobacillus plantarum OM — rather than a multi-strain blend
- The strain is produced using a patented process (US Patent No. 5,895,758)
- 2.5 billion CFU (colony-forming units) per capsule, declared on the label
- Freeze-dried to keep the bacteria dormant during storage; rehydration occurs in the digestive tract
- Shelf-stable at room temperature — no refrigeration required during storage
- Includes fructooligosaccharides (FOS) as a prebiotic fibre, making the formula a synbiotic
- Plant-based vegetable capsule (hypromellose / plant cellulose)
- Lactose-free, though the probiotic is cultured on a milk-containing medium (see allergen note in cautions)
A patented strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, one of the most widely studied lactic-acid bacteria species. Provided at 2.5 billion CFU per capsule (10 billion CFU/g, 250 mg).
A naturally-occurring short-chain prebiotic fibre derived from plant sources. Acts as a fermentation substrate for the probiotic strain.
A plant-derived stabiliser used to maintain the integrity of the freeze-dried probiotic culture during storage.
Plant cellulose (hypromellose) and water. Suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
Species Background
Lactobacillus plantarum is a species of lactic-acid-producing bacteria that occurs naturally in fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, and pickled vegetables. It is one of the most widely characterised probiotic species in the scientific literature.
Patented OM Strain
The OM designation refers to a specific patented strain developed through a proprietary process (US Patent No. 5,895,758). The patent covers the strain selection and production methodology used by the manufacturer.
Proteolytic Activity
Lactobacillus plantarum is described in scientific literature as proteolytic — it produces enzymes that act on proteins. This is a characteristic of the species, not a therapeutic claim about the supplement.
Single-Strain vs Multi-Strain
This formulation uses one bacterial strain rather than a multi-strain blend. Single-strain probiotics provide a defined dose of one organism per capsule.
1–2 Capsules Daily
Take 1–2 capsules per day, or as directed by your healthcare professional. May be taken with food or on an empty stomach according to personal preference.
2-Hour Gap From Antibiotics
If taking antibiotics, leave a minimum 2-hour gap between the antibiotic dose and this probiotic to avoid the antibiotic neutralising the probiotic bacteria.
Pack sizes: Available in 60 capsules or 120 capsules. Store in a cool, dry place below 25 °C away from direct heat, humidity, and sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use.
Probiotic Strain
Lactobacillus plantarum OM — 2.5 billion CFU per capsule (10 billion CFU/g, 250 mg).
Prebiotic
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS).
Other Ingredients
Stabilized rice bran, vegetable capsule (plant cellulose and water).
Allergen Note
The finished product is lactose-free. However, the probiotic strain is cultured on a medium that contains milk. Individuals with severe dairy or milk-protein allergies should consult their healthcare practitioner before use.
Free From
No gluten. No added sugar. No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. No chemical fillers. Suitable for vegetarians.
Shelf-Stable — No Refrigeration Required
The freeze-drying process keeps the probiotic bacteria in a dormant state until they are rehydrated. This means the product maintains its declared CFU count at room temperature without requiring refrigeration during storage or shipping.
The date printed on the bottle is the manufacture date. The product remains within its declared CFU count for two years from this date. For best results, store in a cool, dry place below 25 °C with the bottle tightly closed and away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.
