 Also available in 10 sachets Click here to view the rest of the Optibac Probiotic range     OptiBac Probiotics For your child's health An expert blend of probiotics & prebiotics for women during pregnancy & nursing, for babies & for children. This formula contains acidophilus, as well as B. infantis & bifidum - the most important probiotics in healthy infants & children. What's it for? To support healthy digestion and natural defences in infants and children. Can be taken by pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers to support their child's health. Who's it for? Women during their last trimester of pregnancy, breastfeeding mothers, infants and children from 6 months up to 12 years old. Each sachet provides 3 billion live probiotic cultures guaranteed.   For your child's health   Pregnant and nursing mothers can take For your child's health during pregnancy and breastfeeding to support healthy levels of the appropriate types of L. acidophilus , B. infantis , and other beneficial probiotic bacteria for child health.    In the case of vaginal birth, a newborn swallows what will become its first healthy intestinal microflora as it passes through the mother's birth canal.  This is nature's way for mothers to inoculate their babies and provide them with a foundation of healthy probiotic bacteria for their future health.   At the time of birth, if the mother has good levels of friendly bacteria, and the right types to support child health, these will be passed to the baby during birth! Many pregnant women take OptiBac Probiotics For your child's health during pregnancy for this purpose. Following birth, the infant's microflora is influenced by diet (breast milk or formula), environment, and medication such as antibiotics. The natural development of the probiotic Bifidobacteria in infants is favoured by breast-feeding; studies have found higher concentrations of Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium bifidum in breast-fed infants as opposed to babies bottle-fed with formulas. Many nursing mothers take For your child's health while breastfeeding to help support their child's levels of friendly bacteria during this time.   From 6 months onwards, introducing For your child's health into your child's diet supports the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and supporting natural immune defences. Medical research shows that good probiotic levels helps support digestion, immunity and energy for infants and children, in particular:   - Formula fed infants; - Infants & young children during and after antibiotic therapy; - Infants delivered by caesarean section; - Premature infants; - Infants & children with digestive problems such as colic, diarrhoea, constipation and lactose intolerance; - Infants & children with allergies and skin irritations such as eczema   The overuse or misuse of antibiotics in infants and children may result in unhealthy intestinal conditions, as antibiotics deplete normal levels of probiotic bacteria. Inbalanced levels of bacteria can manifest in the form of allergies and digestive problems in children; whereas healthy probiotic levels can contribute to their overall health and wellbeing. A healthy balance of probiotics in the intestines provides specific enzymes needed in the digestion of particular substances, production of B complex vitamins and vitamin K, and improves the absorption and uptake of minerals and nutrients in the diet, including calcium which is very important during the early years of growth.   Introducing OptiBac Probiotics For your child's health into your child's diet supports the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and encouraging natural immune defences.     How does For your child's health work?   The types of probiotic that naturally reside in an infant's or chil Minimize

Also available in 10 sachet trial size Constipation is defined by having hard, dry stools, and difficulty in passing bowel movements. A large global study of 13,900 individuals concluded that 12% of people worldwide suffer from constipation. Constipation affects women more than men, and in particular infants, pregnant women, and the elderly. Scientific research shows that Bifidobacterium Lactis BB-12 in For maintaining regularity can help in both long-term & short-term constipation (see sources below). Introducing For Maintaining Regularity With Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 ® Having an imbalance of probiotic (good) and pathogenic (bad) bacteria in the intestines can lead to various health conditions including sluggish bowels, bloating and constipation.  Supplementing your diet with probiotics can help to maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria over bad, thereby supporting your digestive system. OptiBac Probiotics ‘For maintaining regularity’ provides 5 billion live microorganisms of the probiotic Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 ® per sachet, as well as the prebiotic fibre fructooligosaccharides, and has been scientifically researched to help maintain regular bowel movements. ‘For maintaining regularity’ probiotic & prebiotic supplement provides a natural option to support normal bowel routine and regularity. ‘For maintaining regularity’ probiotic & prebiotic contains no added flavourings & colourings and is gentle enough for children (from 1 year +), for pregnant & breastfeeding mothers, and for the elderly.  Furthermore this supplement is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and is free from gluten and yeast.   Which size should I buy? For Maintaining Regularity comes in two sizes - 10 and 30 sachets. The following informatiom supplied by the manufacturers may help you decide which one to go for The 10 size is primarily intended to help with fast releif for ACUTE constipation (short term ), and you can take up to 4 per day. Take one every few hours until relief is obtained. (If the pre-biotics in it cause gas and wind, you should reduce this dosage, so there is a common sense element with this product. Occasionally super sensitive people should only take half per day) Once you respond, you can finish off the pack taking one per day. The 30 size is more designed for CHRONIC constipation , designed to be taken long term if necessary for long term sufferers. 1 sachet per day, preferably with or after an evening meal. You can still take one every few hours to begin with if you are constipated at the time of initial useage as with the 10 sachet size, but after that one per day should be sufficient.   Active Ingredients per sachet Probiotic: Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 ® (5 billion live microorganisms) & Prebiotic: Fructooligosaccharides (4 grams) Full Ingredients per sachet Prebiotic: Fructooligosaccharides (FOS 4g); Standardised culture ( Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 ® , fructose); anticaking agent: silicon dioxide. Note: The relatively high dose of prebiotics in this supplement may initially cause some gas or bloating; this is a positive indication that the prebiotics are encouraging the growth of the probiotics in the intestines.  If symptoms continue for more than 3 – 4 days, consider reducing your dose of ‘For maintaining regularity’ before gradually building it up again. Directions As a food supplement For maintaining regularity can be given to adults and children (from 1 year and up) with the following recommendations: Take 1 sachet a day to maintain regularity long-term Or take as and when desired, and up to 4 sachets a day.

* Also available in 30 and 60 capsule sizes*   What is Bio-Kult? Bio-Kult was formulated by a team of doctors, nutritionists and scientists dedicated to advancing the research and use of probiotic health supplements. The healthy body naturally hosts trillions of beneficial bacteria. Amongst other things, they help to support and maintain a strong immune system and a healthy digestive system. Today’s lifestyle of stress and poor nutrition can compromise these essential functions. The complete formula in Bio-Kult helps balance and maintain these natural systems against pathogenic and opportunistic organisms. It is of fundamental importance that we have an adequate level of these probiotic bacteria in our bodies at all times. With fourteen strains of beneficial bacteria at a concentration of 10 billion per gram, Bio-Kult is one of the most powerful probiotic supplements available.   Bio-Kult may be helpful for individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Gut Dysbiosis, Candida, Autism & Autistic Disorders, Travellers Tummy and Post Antibiotic Diarrhoea. Bio-Kult is an excellent all round probiotic for intestinal balance and integrity. It can also be very useful for those severe candida sufferers for whom Threelac is too strong initially. It may also be beneficial for those seeking a good gut maintenance product once candida has been brought under control. The power of 14 strains There are 14 strains of beneficial microorganisms within Bio-Kult: 1. Lactobacillus acidophilus 2. Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus 3. Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 4. Lactobacillus casei 5. Lactobacillus helveticus 6. Lactobacillus plantarum 7. Lactobacillus rhamnosus 8. Lactobacillus salivarius ssp. salivarius 9. Bifidobacterium breve 10. Bifidobacterium bifidum 11 Bifidobacterium infantis 12. Bifidobacterium longum 13. Bacillus subtilis 14. Streptococcus thermophilus   Contents: Each bottle contains 120 x 200 mg vegetable based capsules, equivalent to a 2 month maintenance usage of 2 capsules twice a day. For therapeutic use, we recommend 4 capsules twice a day. Bio-Kult FAQs 1. Is Bio-Kult suitable for vegetarians? Bio-Kult does not contain any meat-based materials and is enclosed in a vegetable capsule. 2. What is the concentration of Bio-Kult? 10 billion CFU/gram, which equates to 2 billion per capsule. 3. Can Bio-Kult be taken during pregnancy? Bio-Kult contains naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms which have been previously shown to be safe to take during pregnancy. However, we would always recommend that advice should be sought from your GP/Health Care Practitioner whenever taking supplements. 4. Is there any situation when Bio-Kult should not be taken? Bio-Kult should be prescribed at the discretion of the Health Care Practitioner for pregnant women, milk allergies, and in cases of immunosuppression. 5. I’m lactose intolerant. Can I take Bio-Kult? Bio-Kult contains probiotic strains that have been shown to produce lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose, which is usually lacking in people intolerant to lactose. Bio-Kult contains traces of milk products at a level which would not affect lactose intolerance sufferers. 6. I have an allergy to milk. Can I take Bio-Kult? Bio-Kult contains traces of milk that would not affect lactose intolerant sufferers, but if you have an allergy to milk, we would suggest you talk to your practitioner before taking Bio-Kult. 7. Are there any side effects from taking Bio-Kult? Bio-Kult contains a high concentration of beneficial microorganisms. If there is a pathogenic overload in your gut, and you start off with a high dose of Bio-Kult, in a small number of people a ‘die-off’ side effect, such as bloating, may be experienced for a few days. 8. I suffer from IBD. Will probiotics help? Evidence suggests that increasing the number of beneficial bacteria in the small intestine and colon may improve the health of patients suffering from IBD.

Click here to view the rest of the Optibac Probiotic range For those who suffer from bloating, this is an expert blend of prebiotics (food for the probiotics) & probiotics such as acidophilus. This supplement supports digestion & aids transit; thus promoting a comfortably flat stomach.     7 Sachets  |  7 day course What's it for? Supports a healthy probiotic balance in the intestinal tract to promote a comfortably flat stomach. Who's it for? For those who suffer from abdominal bloating due to trapped wind, food intolerances, PMS or stress. Each sachet provides 5 billion live probiotic cultures guaranteed.       For a flat stomach   Abdominal or stomach bloating is usually associated with food intolerances, constipation, over-eating, PMS or intestinal gas; leaving the abdomen feeling uncomfortable, full and tight. When digestion is poor, waste materials and the gases they produce can remain in the gut for long periods of time - often at high temperatures and pressures - causing bloating and stretching of the gut walls beyond their comfortable limits.   An imbalance of bad pathogenic bacteria and friendly probiotic bacteria in the gut can result in poor digestive health, bloating, production of smelly and uncomfortable gases and sluggish bowel function. A one-week course of OptiBac Probiotics For a flat stomach can help to naturally re-balance the good bacteria in the small and large intestines, supporting healthy digestion and good intestinal passage.     How does For a Flat stomach work?   Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52: a natural resident of the intestinal microflora; this strain of acidophilus has been well tested to survive gastric acidity and biliary salts expected at mealtimes and to reach the intestines without damage. Lactobacillus acidophilus naturally adheres to the cell wall lining of the intestines where it exerts beneficial effects in terms of inhibiting intestinal pathogens and supporting immune cells. Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71: naturally resident in the colonic (large intestine) microbiotia, B.bifidum supports the production of antibodies, promotes detoxification and maintains resistance to undesirable pathogenic and putrefactive bacteria which can cause negative effects such as bloating. In the colon, B.bifidum flourishes well with fructooligosaccharides (prebiotics) where it supports the intestines to assist natural transit, promote comfort and optimise a healthy frequency and regularity of bowel movements. Lactobacillus casei Rosell-215: an extensively studied species naturally residing in the intestinal flora; this strain has been researched in its ability to resist gastric acidity and bile salts in the harsh stomach environment in order to reach the small and large intestines alive where it exerts its probiotic benefits. L. casei has been shown to modulate the composition and growth of Bifidobacteria in the colon and to support regularity. Lactococcus lactis Rosell-1058: Extracted from the kefir culture, Lactococcus lactis is renowned for its antimicrobial benefits in supporting the body against undesirable bacteria and some fungi. Prebiotics: Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) predominantly settle in the large intestine where it acts as a food source to stimulate abundant growth of Bifidobacteria.  The symbiotic relationship between Bifidobacteria and prebiotics in the colon has a great impact on supporting natural intestinal health and wellbeing, reducing the unpleasant effects of bloating.   How often can I take OptiBac For a flat stomach? (formerly AntiBloat) OptiBac Probiotics For a flat stomach (formerly known as AntiBloat Probiotic & Prebiotic) is a 7 day intensive course of probiotics & prebiotics in powdered form.  A daily dose contains 5 billion probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus , as well as 0.3mg of the prebiotic FOS.    Thanks to the relatively high strength of this supplement, most Minimize

High potency stable probiotic The delicate balance of our intestinal flora (friendly bacteria) can be disturbed for example, by today’s demanding lifestyle, changes in dietary habits, ageing, pain killers and antibiotics. Friendly bacteria play a key role in digestion. And more than 80% of our immune system is dependent on our intestinal health. So maintaining healthy intestinal flora is essential for optimal health. This high potency, well-researched, special strain friendly bacteria (probiotic) is specifically designed for use during and after antibiotics, to help maintain a healthy gut flora, and to support digestive and immune system health. Each of the four strains, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium lactis (formerly known as Bifidobacterium longum) and Bifidobacterium bifidum, have been chosen to act synergistically for greater effect. The formula is highly stable, as it is resistant to stomach acid and bile salts, which means that the bacteria reach the colon alive. Refrigerate before and after opening. Three capsules supply 9 billion viable organisms. Tests show that more is not necessary.

Bio-Kult was formulated by a team of doctors, nutritionists and scientists dedicated to advancing the research and use of probiotic health supplements.  The healthy body naturally hosts trillions of beneficial bacteria. Amongst other things, they help to support and maintain a strong immune system and a healthy digestive system. Today’s lifestyle of stress and poor nutrition can compromise these essential functions. The complete formula in Bio-Kult helps balance and maintain these natural systems against pathogenic and opportunistic organisms. It is of fundamental importance that we have an adequate level of these probiotic bacteria in our bodies at all times. With fourteen strains of beneficial bacteria at a concentration of 10 billion per gram, Bio-Kult is one of the most powerful probiotic supplements available. Bio-Kult may be helpful for individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Gut Dysbiosis, Candida, Autism & Autistic Disorders, Travellers Tummy and Post Antibiotic Diarrhoea. Bio-Kult is an excellent all round probiotic for intestinal balance and integrity. It can also be very useful for those severe candida sufferers for whom Threelac is too strong initially.

Bio-Kult should be prescribed at the discretion of the Health Care Practitioner for pregnant women, milk allergies, and in cases of immunosuppression. 5. I’m lactose intolerant. Can I take Bio-Kult?

Also available in 30 sachets Click here to view the rest of the Optibac Probiotic range OptiBac Probiotics For your child's health   An expert blend of probiotics & prebiotics for women during pregnancy & nursing, for babies & for children. This formula contains acidophilus, as well as B. infantis & bifidum - the most important probiotics in healthy infants & children. What's it for? To support healthy digestion and natural defences in infants and children. Can be taken by pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers to support their child's health. Who's it for? Women during their last trimester of pregnancy, breastfeeding mothers, infants and children from 6 months up to 12 years old. Each sachet provides 3 billion live probiotic cultures guaranteed.   For your child's health     Pregnant and nursing mothers can take For your child's health during pregnancy and breastfeeding to support healthy levels of the appropriate types of L. acidophilus , B. infantis , and other beneficial probiotic bacteria for child health.    In the case of vaginal birth, a newborn swallows what will become its first healthy intestinal microflora as it passes through the mother's birth canal.  This is nature's way for mothers to inoculate their babies and provide them with a foundation of healthy probiotic bacteria for their future health.   At the time of birth, if the mother has good levels of friendly bacteria, and the right types to support child health, these will be passed to the baby during birth! Many pregnant women take OptiBac Probiotics For your child's health during pregnancy for this purpose. Following birth, the infant's microflora is influenced by diet (breast milk or formula), environment, and medication such as antibiotics. The natural development of the probiotic Bifidobacteria in infants is favoured by breast-feeding; studies have found higher concentrations of Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium bifidum in breast-fed infants as opposed to babies bottle-fed with formulas. Many nursing mothers take For your child's health while breastfeeding to help support their child's levels of friendly bacteria during this time.   From 6 months onwards, introducing For your child's health into your child's diet supports the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and supporting natural immune defences. Medical research shows that good probiotic levels helps support digestion, immunity and energy for infants and children, in particular:   Formula fed infants Infants & young children during and after antibiotic therapy Infants delivered by caesarean section Premature infants Infants & children with digestive problems such as colic, diarrhoea, constipation and lactose intolerance Infants & children with allergies and skin irritations such as eczema   The overuse or misuse of antibiotics in infants and children may result in unhealthy intestinal conditions, as antibiotics deplete normal levels of probiotic bacteria. Inbalanced levels of bacteria can manifest in the form of allergies and digestive problems in children; whereas healthy probiotic levels can contribute to their overall health and wellbeing. A healthy balance of probiotics in the intestines provides specific enzymes needed in the digestion of particular substances, production of B complex vitamins and vitamin K, and improves the absorption and uptake of minerals and nutrients in the diet, including calcium which is very important during the early years of growth.   Introducing OptiBac Probiotics For your child's health into your child's diet supports the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and encouraging natural immune defences.     How does For your child's health work?   The types of probiotic that naturally reside in an infant's or child's intestines are very dif Minimize

For travellers seeking advanced probiotic support for digestion and immunity in foreign environments such as India, Egypt, and Mexico. Each capsule provides 5 billion live probiotic cultures guaranteed.   For travelling abroad   This OptiBac Probiotics formula is a proven combination of unique probiotic strains such as acidophilus , designed to support the traveller’s digestive health and immunity whilst abroad. When eating and drinking different foods in unfamiliar environments it can be extremely beneficial to maintain a healthy coating of probiotic bacteria in the intestines, naturally supporting immunity and digestion. OptiBac Probiotics For travelling abroad gives travellers the increased confidence to enjoy their holidays anxiety-free.    How does For travelling abroad work?   Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52  - a natural resident of the intestinal microflora; this strain of acidophilus has been well studied to survive the stomach acidity and biliary salts; and to travel to the intestines without damage.  L. acidophilus Rosell-52 adheres to the cell wall lining of the intestines and exerts beneficial effects in terms of inhibiting intestinal pathogens, supporting immune cells, and providing a protective barrier against pathogens whilst abroad. Saccharomyces boulardii is a unique probiotic yeast which is sold widely across Europe, especially in France and Germany.  S. boulardii has undergone extensive scientific research documenting its safety, and ability to flush out pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella (responsible for 70% of Traveller's Diarrhoea) in order to maintain normal digestive health during travels. Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11  - a natural component of the intestinal friendly bacteria; the species is one of the most studied in the probiotic world. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 has been proven to resist bile and gastric acidity over pH 3 - therefore if taken at mealtimes (when pH is around 4), it will pass through the stomach without being damaged. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 is able to bind strongly to the intestinal cells and helps maintain a strong immune system. Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175 colonises primarily in the large intestine or colon. Here it promotes the production of antibodies, supports the body against toxins and inhibits the development of undesirable bacteria by competitively excluding their attachment to the intestinal wall lining. In addition, a healthy balance of Bifidobacteria supports the intestines in assisting transit and optimising a healthy frequency and regularity of bowel movements.    Full ingredients   Potato starch, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Probiotic culture ( Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175, Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11, Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52), magnesium stearate, ascorbic acid.  Suitability Advice: Vegetarian capsules.

Here they promote the production of antibodies, support the body against toxins and inhibit the development of undesirable bacteria by competitively excluding their attachment to the intestinal wall lining.
