OptiBac Probiotics | Travel Abroad | 20 - 60 Capsules

This supplement contains 4 high quality strains of live cultures which are all scientifically proven to survive to reach the gut alive, and to survive at higher temperatures, making this a suitable travel companion for destinations with hotter, more humid climates. The high-quality nature of this supplement gives travellers the increased confidence to enjoy their holidays worry-free. Make this shelf-stable and cabin friendly product your travel essential for far flung locations such as Egypt, India, Mexico and Thailand.

Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 is a natural resident of the intestinal microflora; this strain of acidophilus has been well studied to survive your stomach acidity and biliary salts; and to travel to the intestines without damage. L. acidophilus Rosell-52 has also been through numerous in vitro tests. Saccharomyces boulardii is a unique yeast sold widely across Europe, especially in France and Germany. S. boulardii has undergone extensive scientific research documenting its safety. Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 is a natural component of the intestinal friendly bacteria; the rhamnosus species is one of the most studied in the world of live cultures. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 from OptiBac 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. Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175 is a well-researched strain that has been shown to survive to reach the gut alive.

This is a food supplement and it is not intended to prevent, treat, nor diagnose any medical conditions.

Product updates

Note: The packaging of  'Travel Abroad' has recently been changed to ensure the strains are better protected.

It is important to note that this supplement, unlike many other live cultures products, does not require refrigeration due to improvements in freeze drying techniques and the strains within the product that are naturally robust to survive harsher conditions.

Available in two pack sizes of 20 or 60 capsules of live cultures. Each capsule provides a count of over 5 billion natural bacteria.

About Optibac Probiotics

The OptiBac Probiotics brand was created in 2004 by three siblings and their father, all with a passion for health & wellbeing. The brand specialises entirely in live cultures and considers this to be their expertise, with a particular emphasis on how different strains (specific types of live cultures) work in different ways. The strains found within OptiBac Probiotics are of the highest quality, and each strain undergoes rigorous testing - so you can be confident you'll find a high quality supplement for your individual needs.

OptiBac Probiotics has partnered with some of the world-leading institutes in the field, and is dedicated to developing an expert range of the highest quality. The range boasts some of the most researched strains in the world. The company are completely transparent when it comes to the make-up of their products, and, unlike many others, they cite not only the microorganism's family and species, but the strain as well. OptiBac Probiotics is proud to be the brand that introduced a number of strains to the UK, including pure Saccharomyces boulardii, Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14.
