A common challenge when supplementing with probiotics is their ability to survive stomach acid and colonise the gut. To overcome this, we use the clinically studied Lab4 blend of 4 acid-resistant probiotic strains proven to reach the gut alive. Our live cultures are also microencapsulated and are provided alongside a prebiotic for further protection against the harsh environment in the gut.

To support colonisation, most prebiotics work by feeding bacteria in the gut which can cause gas and bloating. Instead, we add Aquamin, an algae extract that acts as a protective carrier. Its unique honeycomb structure transports more live bacteria to the intestines, making it a non-bloating FOS-free prebiotic. Many probiotic strains contain lipopolysaccharides (LPS) side-chains, responsible for triggering an immune reaction, so we use LPS-free strains for support without irritation.

We microencapsulate our probiotic live bacteria, so the product is shelf-stable at room temperature and doesn’t require refrigeration. To ensure a high dose of probiotics are still present when taking the supplement, we manufacture at a dose of 50 billion (CFU) to guarantee at least 25 billion in each capsule at the time of expiry.
