Curated, not stocked.
At 50 billion CFU, this sits at the higher end of what our clinicians consider for targeted gut support — not a casual daily supplement, but one with a specific role. We recommend it where there is a clear reason to intervene: post-antibiotic recovery, persistent digestive disruption, or clinician-identified imbalance. The dose makes it worth taking seriously, and we suggest discussing it with a practitioner if you are unsure whether it is appropriate for your situation.
About this product
Probiotics (50 Billion CFU)
This is a multi-strain probiotic supplement delivering 50 billion colony-forming units (CFU) per serving. Probiotics are live bacteria that, when taken in adequate amounts, may support the balance of the gut microbiome — the ecosystem of microorganisms that plays a role in digestion, immune regulation, and nutrient absorption.
A product at this CFU count is typically positioned for people with a specific reason to support their gut flora: after a course of antibiotics, during periods of digestive disruption, when travelling, or where a clinician has identified signs of microbial imbalance. It is not an everyday staple for everyone — the dose is meaningful, and who benefits most depends on individual circumstances.
Probiotics work best when the strains are resilient enough to survive stomach acid and reach the large intestine intact. The specific strains in a formulation matter considerably more than the CFU number alone; different strains have been studied for different outcomes, from bowel regularity to immune modulation. Check the packaging for the full strain profile.
Probiotic supplements occupy a crowded category with wide variation in quality. The 50 billion CFU designation places this product at the higher end of the dose range commonly used in clinical and functional medicine contexts, making it relevant as a short-term therapeutic intervention rather than a casual daily addition for most people.

How to use
Follow the dosage instructions on the packaging. Probiotics are generally taken with or just before a meal to improve bacterial survival through the stomach. If you are also taking antibiotics, space the probiotic dose by at least two hours.

Common questions
Frequently asked
How long should I take this for?
That depends on why you are taking it. Post-antibiotic courses are often run for two to four weeks; longer-term use for ongoing gut support should ideally be guided by a clinician. Check the packaging for the brand's recommended duration.
Who is this not suitable for?
People who are immunocompromised, critically ill, or have a central venous catheter should avoid high-dose probiotics without medical supervision, as there is a small risk of bacteraemia in vulnerable individuals. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on immunosuppressant medication, consult your doctor first.
Does the CFU count matter more than the strain?
Strain identity matters more than CFU number. Different strains have been studied for different outcomes — bowel regularity, immune modulation, traveller's diarrhoea — and a high CFU count of a poorly matched strain is less useful than a lower dose of the right one. Check the packaging for the full strain list.
Should I take this with food?
Generally yes — taking probiotics with or just before a meal provides some buffering against stomach acid, which may improve the number of live bacteria reaching the gut. Avoid taking them with very hot drinks.
Can I take this at the same time as antibiotics?
You can take probiotics alongside a course of antibiotics, but separate the doses by at least two hours so the antibiotic does not kill the probiotic bacteria before they reach the gut.
