How to use
Instructions for use
Food supplement suitable for adults and children (from 1 year onwards) with the following recommendations:
- Initial use: Take 1 sachet (and up to 4 sachets if required) daily with food.
- Ongoing use: 1 sachet will often suffice but more can be taken as desired or as professionally directed.
- It is strongly recommended to drink plenty of water with this supplement.
- Shake the sachet, then slowly sprinkle contents into a glass of water and vigorously swirl to dissolve fully.
- Do not use a spoon to stir as this may cause the sachet contents to clump.
- Do not exceed recommended daily dosage.

Like the rest of the OptiBac range, 'Bifidobacteria & fibre' does not require refrigeration. Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C and out of direct sunlight.

This product is amazing. The cotton-candy taste of the powder reminds me of childhood :) The effect is even better!! My occasional bloating normalized just after one week and since then, I have not experienced such discomfort anymore! THANK YOU OptiBac!!!!

I bought these for my mother who takes one a day which she says keeps her regular. An added benefit is that she seems more cheerful.

The bifidobacteria and fibre are sensational. For many years we have taken probiotics before and during holidays and ended up being the only travellers on tours not to get travel bugs. So I had already realised the benefits of taking live cultures. I’m vegetarian and have a good diet but poor gut transit time. Then remembered optibac working previously and thank goodness it has helped. I do highly recommend these products and now I’m going to purchase them for my daughter and grandchildren because they work, just 1-4 a day does the job well. Brilliant product one I highly recommend, and the discreet packaging little white sachet means you can carry it around and take anywhere even without water. My only mistake was to stop taking it for a month and I won’t be doing that again. When trying to find a place to write a review it’s nice to seen this is a family run business too!
