Some of the studies included in this systematic review and meta-analysis assessed a probiotic formulation formerly known as VSL#3. Since 2016, the probiotic formulation that was assessed in these studies should be referred to by the generic name ‘De Simone Formulation’. The current product sold under the VSL#3 brand is not the same formulation as the De Simone Formulation.
