FAQ
Is this product vegetarian & vegan friendly?
Yes.
Can I take this product during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes, at the recommended dose on the label.
Can I take this product while I’m on medication?
Yes. It’s advised to be consumed 2 hours away from any medication, including antibiotics.
How long should I continue to take this product?
Consumers may start to experience intestinal benefits within a few days. However, most people need 4-6 weeks of continuous use to see benefits. Consumers taking this product due to antibiotic use should start using the product when they begin antibiotic treatment, and continue for a minimum of one month after the treatment course ends. For optimal benefits, it is best to take this product as far away from the dose of antibiotics as possible.
What are prebiotics and why do we need them?
Prebiotics and probiotics work beneficially together for optimal gut flora balance. Prebiotics, like Acacia, are a type of non-digestable plant fibre that feed the good bacteria living inside our intestines. By feeding the good bacteria with the right sort of food ensures the longevity of our beneficial gut bacteria and therefore a healthy microbial diversity in our gut, which helps our own long-term health and wellbeing.
This product contains 5 different strains of bacteria. Why is this helpful?
This multi-strain blend of beneficial bacteria provides immune supportive effects, helping to assist with resistance to microbes and supporting the health and function of the digestive tract.
What can lower the body’s natural levels of beneficial bacteria?
Many lifestyle factors can change the environmental conditions inside the digestive system and make it less welcoming for friendly bacteria. Some of these include:
• Antibiotic use (antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria)
• Certain medications, e.g. steroids or the Oral Contraceptive Pill
• Frequent alcohol consumption
• Stress or ageing
• Poor diet or eating disorders
• Digestive problems such as diarrhoea and constipation
• Pollution, chemical additives and pesticides
How can beneficial bacteria help to maintain health and wellbeing?
Friendly bacteria can help to maintain general health and wellbeing in many ways. They support the immune system and its function, which in turn helps the body to fend off microbes. Supplementing with these healthy bacteria may also help to reduce the occurrences of mild upper respiratory tract infections. In addition, these friendly bacteria help to support the workings of our digestive tract, in particular healthy bowel movements.
Some intestinal flora can also help to maintain healthy immunity: both by using up resources that harmful bacteria, yeasts and fungi would need to flourish, and by producing substances that actively deter these micro-organisms.
