  • Best taken with a meal, preferably with breakfast.

  • Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers: 1 sachet per day

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a healthy diet and lifestyle. Those with serious medical conditions should consult their doctor before use.

OptiBac will not cause dependency, and may be used on an ongoing basis.

Safety

Live cultures are not recommended for those with serious medical conditions e.g. those who are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the ICU, have melaena, have a central venous catheter, infants with short bowel syndrome, or patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor's care.
