OptiBac Probiotics Bifidobacteria & Fibre

Description

OptiBac Probiotics Bifidobacteria & Fibre contains 5 billion live cultures of a unique strain called Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12®, with Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) fibres.

Those who have an imbalance in good and bad bacteria in the gut may be more susceptible to digestive health conditions such as constipation or sluggish bowels.

Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12® is thought to be the world’s most researched strain of the entire Bifidobacteria family. This high quality strain is scientifically proven to survive stomach acidity and bile salts to reach the gut alive. What’s more, the Fructooligosaccharides makes this product naturally high in fibre.

OptiBac Probiotics Bifidobacteria & Fibre is safe and gentle, appropriate for ongoing use, and will not cause dependency. This strain has even been tested in pregnant women, children from 1 year onwards, and the elderly.

• 5 billion live cultures (per sachet)
• Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12®
• Formula also includes Fructooligosaccharide fibres (4g per sachet)

Safety: Live cultures are not recommended for those with serious medical conditions e.g. those who are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the Intensive Care Unit, have blood in the stool, have a central venous catheter, infants with short bowel syndrome, or to patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor’s care.
