Laughter as gut medicine

Supporting your digestion with laughter and friendly bacteria

When was the last time you laughed so hard, your stomach ached? Or felt joyful excitement in your gut? Or even passed wind while rolling around laughing?

Gut issues can be a serious matter and daily research-backed support is key. At the same time, there are also some more unusual ways of supporting our digestive system and laughter is key for a number of reasons.

Laughter impacts our digestive system both physically and mentally. It can help to support digestion and other physical symptoms, reduce stress and tension, and support relaxation. It is definitely only one part of a more serious regime, but also recommended in a large daily dose.


“Laughter isn’t just emotional, it triggers real, physical responses in the body.”
Adrienne Benjamin

Belly Laughs - London April 2026

For IBS Awareness month, we are hosting an exclusive 'invite-only' evening of laughter in London on Wednesday 22nd April.

We are planning a night full of 'belly laughs' featuring:

  • - Relatable, light-hearted takes on everyday digestion and bowel problems 
  • - Insights into how laughter can positively impact gut health and the gut microbiome 
  • - Spotlight on For Adults - 25 Billion, the ProVen Biotics hero product containing 25 billion Lab4 bacteria to help support the gut every day

Some highlights from the event...

In the spotlight...

For Adults - 25 Billion

ProVen Biotics’ flagship product, supported by extensive research and launched as the first product in our range in 2012, For Adults – 25 Billion provides 25 billion of our unique extensively-researched Lab4 live bacteria per serving (2 capsules). 

Lab4 friendly bacteria has been shown to survive stomach and bile acids, reaching the intestines alive, the location that the bacteria in our digestive tract colonise and undertake their activity. 

For Adults – 25 Billion also contains vitamins C & D, zinc and selenium, which support immunity, and calcium for additional digestive support.  

And the product also contains prebiotic FOS (fructooligosaccharides), which act as food for the bacteria in our digestive system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age are ProVen Biotics For Adults -25 Billion live bacteria supplements for?

Our For Adults - 25 Billion supplement is an oral capsule that is designed for both men and women of all ages - from age 16 and on throughout life.

What does For Adults - 25 Billion help with?

A balanced microbiome is a key element of gut health and it can be impacted by unhealthy lifestyle choices and in particular by medications, such as antibiotics.

ProVen For Adults - 25 Billion provides 25 billion friendly bacteria per serving to help support this microbiome balance. It is designed for both men and women as a relatively high strength daily live bacteria supplement that can be taken long-term.

Why do you recommend such a high number of bacteria for everyday support?

We all have billions of bacteria in our gut microbiome and there has never been a study showing the optimum number that people should consider taking each day.

We believe that in light of those huge numbers, the billions of bacteria in our products are required. Hence we do our studies on 25 billion (and higher) live bacteria and our flagship product contains this number in two capsules and offers a one capsule-a-day solution for ongoing use.
