LAFAYETTE, Colo., May 19, 2026

First-ever retail rollout of VSL4® supplements reaches more than 1,500 Walmart stores nationwide

LAFAYETTE, Colo., May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Actial Nutrition, the U.S. distributor of VSL® Probiotics, today announced the first major retail expansion of its VSL4® probiotic supplement line through its launch at Walmart. VSL4® Gut and VSL4® Vaginal Health are now sold at more than 1,500 Walmart locations nationwide, marking the first time VSL4® products are available in physical retail stores in every state.

VSL4® Gut and VSL4® Vaginal Health are developed by the makers of VSL#3®, the #1 gastroenterologist-recommended multi-strain probiotics brand.1 While VSL#3® is a medical food distributed through pharmacies and online for the dietary management of certain serious GI issues, such as IBS, VSL4® products are convenient, shelf-stable daily probiotic supplements designed for everyday wellness support.2 This Walmart rollout extends VSL® Probiotics’ legacy of science-driven microbiome solutions to a broader audience at an accessible price point.

The rollout includes two SKUs designed for specific wellness needs:

  • VSL4® Gut ($28.97): A daily multi-strain probiotic supplement for individuals prioritizing regularity and healthy, consistent digestion. It contains the same eight clinically researched strains found in VSL#3® but in a shelf-stable formula designed for daily digestive relief and general gut health.2 Unlike some probiotics, VSL4® Gut is dairy-free, and it is also FODMAP-friendly certified.
  • VSL4® Vaginal Health ($28.97): A daily multi-strain probiotic supplement scientifically designed to support women’s intimate wellness. Its 4-in-1 formula features clinically studied and research-backed probiotic strains, prebiotic fiber, cranberry extract, and essential B and D vitamins to support vaginal balance, healthy odor, and normal yeast and pH levels.2

Both products are priced at $28.97, reflecting a shared commitment to making premium, science-backed probiotics accessible to a broader range of consumers without compromising on potency, quality, or targeted formulation.

“VSL® Probiotics products are built on a foundation of science, clinical credibility, and a deep understanding of the microbiome, and this expansion into Walmart represents a pivotal moment in making our VSL4® line more accessible. After strong growth in our direct-to-consumer channels, we’re thrilled to bring VSL4® Gut and VSL4® Vaginal Health into brick-and-mortar to meet consumers where they are, without compromising on the potency, quality, or targeted formulations that define our brand. We’re excited to bring VSL4® to Walmart to help more people take a proactive, informed approach to their overall health.”

— Jeremy Goldstein, CEO, Actial Nutrition

Consumer interest in microbiome-focused supplements is growing rapidly, and the Walmart launch positions VSL® Probiotics to meet that demand where it matters most — on the shelves of America’s largest retailer. The expansion builds on the recent introduction of VSL4® Vaginal Health and reflects the brand’s commitment to making precision-formulated, science-backed probiotics accessible to a broader audience.
