Vegan-friendly capsule stated; contains: citrus-derived ingredients.
Ingredients explained
Saccharomyces boulardii
This probiotic yeast may help crowd out undesirable microbes and support a healthy intestinal environment by producing metabolites that favour balanced gut flora.
Caution: May cause temporary gas or bloating as the gut adjusts; separate from antifungals as they may reduce its viability.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
This well-studied strain can adhere to intestinal cells and produce lactic acid, which may help maintain a favourable pH and support barrier integrity.
Caution: Introducing probiotics may lead to mild digestive changes at first; take consistently for best tolerance.
Bacillus subtilis HU58
This spore-forming probiotic survives stomach acid and may germinate in the intestine, producing enzymes and metabolites that support microbial balance.
Caution: Spore-formers are generally well tolerated, but start with the suggested serving to gauge comfort.
Clostridium butyricum
This beneficial bacterium can produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that nourishes intestinal cells and supports a healthy gut lining.
Caution: Butyrate producers may shift bowel habits initially; hydrate and monitor comfort.
Prebiotic Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex (from Citrus sinensis and Citrus paradisi)
Citrus-derived polyphenols act as prebiotic substrates that may be utilised by gut microbes, encouraging growth of beneficial species and production of helpful metabolites.
Caution: Contains citrus-derived compounds; avoid if sensitive to citrus.
How they work together
Multiple probiotic species provide complementary actions: yeasts, lactic acid bacteria and spore-formers each colonise differently and produce distinct metabolites that help balance the gut environment. The citrus bioflavonoids serve as prebiotic polyphenols that feed beneficial microbes and support their metabolite production for a more resilient microbiome.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with weakened immune systems or severe illness may be more sensitive to probiotics and yeast-based supplements such as Saccharomyces boulardii. Those with citrus or grapefruit sensitivities should be cautious due to the citrus bioflavonoid complex. People taking medications that may interact with grapefruit are recommended to consult a healthcare provider before use.

Overview

- Dietary Supplement
Providing quality products since 2001.
Your gut flora – also called your microbiome – influences your overall health, including your immune response, digestive function, weight, sleep quality, mood and cognitive function.
A healthy microbiome depends on having the proper balance between beneficial bacteria and pathogenic bacteria. When your gut flora falls out of balance, the lining of your intestinal barrier can become compromised and expose you to negative health effects.
The most powerful forces that work to disrupt or destroy your gut flora can be divided up into three categories:
- Exposure to substances that upset the balance of or destroy beneficial gut bacteria, such as chlorine, fluoride, sugar and processed foods.
- Lack of nutrients to optimise and support beneficial microbes in your gut, including healthy live bacteria from cultured foods and soil-based organisms (SBOs) to help recondition your gut.
- Stress, which can hinder the production of enzymes and absorption of nutrients, reduce oxygen levels and increase intestinal permeability.
