Ingredients explained
Bifidobacterium lactis
Colonises the intestinal tract and may help produce short-chain acids that support a balanced gut environment and comfortable digestion.
Caution: Start with the suggested serving to gauge tolerance, as rapid changes in gut bacteria may cause temporary gas or bloating.
Lactobacillus casei
Produces lactic acid and may help support a healthy pH in the gut, which favours beneficial microbes.
Caution: If you experience digestive discomfort, reduce use and take with food to improve tolerance.
Bifidobacterium bifidum
Supports carbohydrate fermentation in the colon, contributing to short-chain fatty acid production that may nourish gut cells.
Caution: Those with sensitive digestion may notice transient bloating as the microbiome adjusts.
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Adheres to intestinal surfaces and may help produce lactic acid and metabolites that support a balanced microbial community.
Caution: Take consistently at the same time daily; stop use if persistent discomfort occurs.
NutraFlora scFOS (short-chain fructooligosaccharides)
Acts as a prebiotic fibre selectively used by beneficial bacteria, promoting their growth and activity in the colon.
Caution: Prebiotic fibres can cause gas or bloating at first; adequate water intake may help ease tolerance.
How they work together
The four probiotic strains provide complementary species from Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium that occupy different areas of the gut and produce acids and metabolites that shape a healthy environment. The scFOS prebiotic serves as a food source for these bacteria, helping them establish and sustain their populations.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with compromised immune function or serious gastrointestinal conditions may wish to discuss use with a healthcare provider. Those with sensitivity to prebiotics such as fructooligosaccharides may experience digestive discomfort and may consider starting cautiously.
