General digestive

Complements gut bacteria

Since starting these tablets my health has really improved. I was always feeling tired and tried a range of vitamins that never changed anything. I asked in my local health shop and explained how I was feeling. And was offered optibac it took 3 week's to get into my system, I'm starting into my 4 month and my whole body function is better than it ever was. Getting a full night's sleep and feel so much energy that I can get on with life. But with always being tired I couldn't get out much. These tablets has taken over and my lifestyle has improved. These really work and it's best to take one first thing in the morning. And you will start noticing a difference on week 3.

I genuinely feel my stomach is more settled 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 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.

Customer Questions

All questions answered by probiotic experts Dr Kate Stephens PhD (Food and Microbial Sciences) BSc(Hons) Medical Biology and Kerry Beeson BSc (Nut. Med.) Nutritional Therapist

Can friendly bacteria be taken every day?

Yes! It’s not possible to overdose on live cultures supplements as your gut naturally contains trillions of friendly bacteria. Friendly bacteria have been researched for decades, and daily use is both safe and recommended, without risk of dependency or overdose (1,2,3).
