Lactic Acid Producing Bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus Strains)
This probiotic formulation contains a combination of lactic acid producing bacteria, including strains of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Streptococcus. These beneficial microorganisms colonize the gastrointestinal tract, restoring a healthy balance of gut microbiota that may have been disrupted by antibiotic treatment, illness, or poor diet. They help inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, support the mucosal barrier, and aid in digestion.
Dosage by Body Weight
Can be taken with or without food. Avoid mixing oral powders or drops with hot beverages or foods, as high temperatures can destroy the live bacteria. If prescribed alongside antibiotics, administer the probiotic at least 2 hours apart from the antibiotic dose to prevent the antibiotic from inactivating the beneficial bacteria.
