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!

I decided to try Bifidobacteria & Fibre sachets and what a difference. Great success! That was life-changing. I highly recommend it to pregnant women. One to two sachets per day should help you to move lazy bowels.

I read some really good popular science books from the library on how the gut works and that helped me understand my body better. That led me to looking into friendly bacteria and I looked at all the info on the internet about the different types and looking for a reliable supplier and I found my way to this product about six months ago. I like their research ethic and the advice is helpful. I was not over hopeful as nothing else had worked but I did feel different after a few days and after about 3 weeks I settled into a new routine. I take one sachet every morning as soon as I get up. A second sachet at night if needed. I can get on with my life.
