Optibac Bifidobacteria & Fibre Sachets

PACKAGING MAY VARY

Bifidobacteria & fibre is a natural food supplement containing carefully selected Probiotics and fibres. Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12® has seen extensive scientific and clinical research and is scientifically proven to survive stomach acidity and biliary salts to reach the gut alive.  The addition of Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), makes this product naturally high in fibre. FOS is also known as a prebiotic and helps boost the body's natural bacteria aswell as being roughage in the bowels.

OptiBac 'Bifidobacteria & fibre' can be taken once a day for ongoing maintenance; or as and when desired, in which case we recommend taking up to 4 sachets a day.

 It may be especially suitable for those with constipation.

Can be taken long term and is suitable from ages 1 year and up.

Suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Scientifically proven formulation. We've carefully chosen this combination of friendly bacteria and FOS because they've been shown to survive stomach acidity and reach the gut alive, complementing the natural gut bacteria

• For ongoing use: one sachet will often suffice but more can be taken as desired, or as professionally instructed.

• Do not use a spoon as this may cause the sachet contents to clump. Drink plenty of water with this supplement.
