Yes, our strains of friendly bacteria have been freeze dried making them shelf stable. This means that our products do not need to be refrigerated upon purchase. 

In order to ensure that the bacteria are viable until the end of their shelf life, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. 

Several of our products are suitable for vegans and have been approved by the Vegan Society. Our vegan products are clearly marked by the Vegan Society logo (as seen as below).

Probio7 is formulated using natural ingredients which are generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, it is always preferable to seek medical advice when taking any food supplements during pregnancy and when breastfeeding.  

Some of our products contain common allergens, these are highlighted in the ingredients. To find the list of common allergens in our product, please see the list below. 

If you have an allergen and want to know if Probio7 is safe for you, please contact [email protected] or call +44 (0) 2086486777. 

Yes, Probio7 products are safe to use alongside antibiotics. If you are due to start a course of antibiotics, we recommend taking Probio7 Restore, to help replenish your gut microbiome during and after antibiotic treatment. 

Wait 2-4 hours after taking your antibiotics before taking your Probio7 supplement, with food.

Friendly bacteria supplements are generally safe to take alongside other medication. However, if you are taking medication we would advise consulting your GP before taking Probio7. 

Probio7 supplements are safe for children from 2 months +.  

Children develop their microbiome in the womb and throughout early childhood. It’s thought that an unhealthy microbiome in the early stages of life may be responsible for some adult health conditions. We recommend Probio7 Bifikalm for infants aged 2 months +. For older children (aged 12 months to early teens) we recommend Probio7 Kidskalm. These products contain friendly bacteria strains specifically  formulated to promote and maintain a healthy balance in the gut flora in infants and children.  

Several of our Probio7 supplements have been formulated for daily, long term consumption. This is recommended to maintain a diverse gut flora. On the other hand, some of our products may be used at a specific time for example, when travelling abroad.

Patients who are immunosuppressed do not have the ability to mount an immune response to microbes that they come in contact with. Microbes, even those considered beneficial, can sometimes cross the gut barrier and grow in the blood or internal organs. Growth in these areas can cause septicaemia, myo-endocarditis, or pancreatitis. Since there is currently insufficient clinical evidence around this area, the risk is thought to be too high to recommend friendly bacteria supplements for individuals who are immunocompromised. 

If you are unsure whether friendly bacteria supplements are safe for you, contact us at [email protected] or call  +44 (0) 2086486777. Or, visit your GP.  

Not a problem! Our capsules can either be swallowed whole or pulled apart and sprinkled over cold food or mixed in with a cold drink. 

The capsules cannot be sprinkled onto hot food as this can affect the stability of the bacteria and may prevent all the bacteria reaching your digestive system alive. We recommend pulling the capsules apart and sprinkling it over some granola and yogurt or mixing it into a morning smoothie! 

The bioavailability of our products will not be affected when mixed with food. Many foods have beneficial bacteria growing in them naturally including yogurt, kefir and sauerkraut which shows that bacteria are able to survive on food. 

The best time to take Probio7 is in the morning, with breakfast.  

Yes, you can. There is no limit to the number of bacteria you can consume as they are a natural part of our digestive system. It is almost impossible to overdose on friendly bacteria.   

Taking two different products from the Probio7 range means you can get a range of benefits from several different friendly bacteria species. 

However, it is important to bear in mind that if you have never taken a friendly bacteria supplement before or you suddenly increase your dose, you may notice some temporary changes in the state of your gut microbiome which may result in more flatulence or bloating. This is nothing to worry about – this shows that the bacteria are working and should subside in a few days! 

Our products do not need to be refrigerated and are shelf stable for at least 2 years. To get the most out of our products leave them somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight. 

In order to see the beneficial effects of Probio7 we recommend taking it for at least 4 weeks. However, if you are not happy with the effect of Probio7 please email our nutritionist [email protected] or book a call through this link to discuss alternatives.

People suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) may be recommended friendly bacteria supplements to help manage their symptoms. However, as IBS can vary significantly between individuals whilst product might work well for one person, this isn't guaranteed to work well for someone else and you may have to try several different products until you find one that works for you. 

If you would like to discuss different supplements for your IBS with a nutritionist then please email [email protected] or book a call through this link. 

Friendly bacteria supplements are characterised by their genus, species and strain code and their properties are strain specific. 

To put it into perspective, a species is a genetic concept. It indicates the same origin but not the same properties. All dogs fall under the species Canis familiaris however, dogs within that same species have very different properties. The strain code is like a dog’s breed, it indicates the same properties. 

Some strains are known to be beneficial for certain properties. For example, the well-known strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG has been tested in several clinical studies to help alleviate diarrhoea symptoms caused by a number of factors including, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and travellers’ diarrhoea. 

We include a range of different strains of friendly bacteria in our products, so you are able to get a number of benefits from one capsule. Additionally, our products have been formulated to suit the specific need or target age. 

For example, Probio7 Bifikalm has been formulated for infants 2 months+ and contains two strains of friendly bacteria that are naturally found in an infant’s gut microbiome. 

Unfortunately, this is not a simple one-word answer! The number of live cultures suited varies on the individual. It is also not just about numbers, the bacteria strains are also very important. 

We all have a unique gut microbiome, it is as personal as a fingerprint! Therefore, it is important you find a product that is right for you. You may have to try several different friendly bacteria supplements before you find the best one for you and your gut microbiome. 

Our range of products vary from 1 billion to 100 billion bacteria per capsule! Each product we have has been formulated to suit a specific need or target age.

All of our strains of friendly bacteria have been tested in vitro (outside of the body, in test tubes) to survive the harshest of conditions to ensure they reach the digestive system alive. One of the biggest challenges for bacteria supplements is surviving the stomach acid. Our strains have been tested to survive this acidity. Once the bacteria reach the digestive system they become activated and can start carrying out their number of beneficial properties. 

Our strains of friendly bacteria are very hardy, and they do not need to be consumed within the capsule in order to reach the digestive system alive. This is why you can pull the capsule apart and sprinkle the contents over food or drink and why some of our products come in an easy to use sachet or suspended in oil.

We also recommend taking our supplements in the morning with breakfast, when our stomach acid is at its lowest. This further ensures all the bacterial strains arrive in the digestive system alive.
