All questions answered by probiotic experts Dr Kate Stephens PhD (Food and Microbial Sciences) BSc(Hons) Medical Microbiology and Kerry Beeson BSc (Nut. Med.) Nutritional Therapist.
The simple answer is yes! Probiotics have been researched for decades and the growing weight of evidence suggests that daily use is both safe and recommended.1,2 There’s no known risk of dependency or overdose: the human gut naturally contains trillions of micro-organisms, so the numbers found in supplements are modest by comparison. Probiotic bacteria are found naturally in our diets, but not all probiotic strains do the same thing, therefore, many people like to use a supplement containing probiotic strains which have been shown to support a specific area of health, such as immune function.4
Various factors affect the health of our immune system: some of these we can’t control, such as cold, damp weather or stressful events, but there are many things we can easily do to help our immune systems fight off cold, viruses and infections. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet, limit alcohol intake, get a good night’s sleep, exercise daily, and wash your hands properly.
Many people also like to use supplements designed specifically to support the immune system, especially during winter months when coughs, colds and flu are especially common. As 70% of our immune system is in the gut, it’s important to consider gut health as part of your immune-boosting health regime. Optibac Immune Support offers all-round gut and immune support.
It’s best to choose supplements containing probiotics and other ingredients which have been extensively researched and found to support the immune system. Optibac Immune Support contains one of the world’s most clinically researched bacterial strains, Lactobacillus paracasei CASEI 431®, which has been tested in thousands of people in numerous clinical trials and found to support immune health4. To further support immune function, this high-quality probiotic strain is combined with vitamin C, which also helps to support a healthy immune system and your body’s resistance to infection*.
Older people can be more vulnerable to colds and flu so may choose to take a supplement for extra support, but often have concerns about whether it’s safe for them to take probiotics. However, friendly bacteria supplements are safe to be taken by everyone from birth into old age 1,2. There are only a few circumstances when probiotics may not be appropriate, such as for adults or children who are immune-compromised – please see our safety information for more details. If you have a serious health condition, you should always speak to your doctor before taking any supplement.

Probiotics 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, short bowel syndrome, or patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor's care. Keep out of reach of children.

Need help choosing a product?I genuinely feel my stomach is more settled and less bloated after about 2 weeks. I’m guessing if my gut feels fine something is right which will lead to better health.
A huge thank you to OptiBac Advisor and Nutritionist Claire Foss for all her support and guidance around my digestive health and OptiBac products. Very happy to say that the gentleness of OptiBac Immunity is working well after a few weeks after many other brands did not agree my digestive system. The secret is trying different products, give them a few weeks each. I know you're eager to reduce your symptoms, but issues like this can take some time to resolve... keep going, and thanks again to Claire for her help.
My wife bought this for us last year and we've both been taking it ever since. So far so good - we're feeling well, good energy and regular in the gut health department!
