The Active Ingredient Is: Probiotics (Multi-strain)

Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that help support normal gut function and balance. This multi-strain blend is based on a fermented whole food base and includes several well-studied probiotic organisms.

This form is supplied as a capsule containing a blend of strains and prebiotic FOS to support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

What Does Probiotics Do?

Probiotics help maintain a balanced gut microbiota and may support immune function in line with general EFSA guidance. Research suggests they interact with the gut microbiome to support barrier function and overall gut health, with prebiotics aiding bacterial growth. Dr. Smith of University College London found that probiotic approaches can influence gut balance and immune activity.

The combination of multiple strains and prebiotic fibres supports the harmonious operation of the gut ecosystem and its role in normal digestion and immune readiness.
