Combocillus Probiotic Capsules give you seven probiotic strains in one daily capsule, four Lactobacillus and three Bifidobacterium, each identified by its culture collection number. Each capsule provides 415mg of the blend at 10 billion colony forming units per gram, which is about 4 billion in a capsule. You take one a day before food. One pot holds 90 capsules, which is a 90 day supply. Benefits of taking Combocillus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are the species most often used in probiotic supplements. A blend of seven covers more of the gut than a single strain, which is why most people start with one. Taken before breakfast, the bacteria pass through the stomach while acid is lowest, so more of them reach the intestine. Seven strains arrive in one capsule, so there is no need to buy several single strain products. Each strain is named by its culture collection number, so you know exactly which bacteria you are taking. Daily use builds a steadier gut environment than an occasional large dose. One capsule a day covers three months from one pot. Who benefits Combocillus Probiotic Capsules are most useful for: People who want a broad daily probiotic rather than a single strain. Anyone finishing a course of antibiotics who wants to restock the gut afterwards. Those building a gut routine with enzymes at meals and a probiotic before them. If you have been advised one strain specifically, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Powder gives that strain alone, as a powder. What is in it Each capsule provides 415mg of the Combocillus blend at 10 billion colony forming units per gram: Lactobacillus bulgaricus LMG 27274, Lactobacillus acidophilus LMG 8151, Lactobacillus rhamnosus LMG 25626, Lactobacillus casei LMG 6904, Lactobacillus plantarum LMG 26367, Bifidobacterium breve LMG 11613 and Bifidobacterium bifidum LMG 25628.

Common questions A multi strain probiotic or a single strain? A blend such as this gives seven species, each named by its culture collection number, so it covers more of the gut than any one strain. A single strain suits people advised to take that strain specifically or who want to test one at a time. Choose the blend for general daily use. How many capsules should I take a day? One capsule a day before food is the full amount. More is not better with probiotics, while taking it every day is. When is the best time to take a probiotic? Twenty to thirty minutes before breakfast, when stomach acid is at its lowest, so more of the bacteria survive the passage to the intestine. Can I take it with antibiotics? Yes, but space the two by two to three hours. Carry on with the probiotic for at least two weeks after the antibiotics finish. How long does it take to work? Most people notice a change within one to two weeks, with the fuller effect building over two to three months of daily use. Can I take it with other supplements? Yes. It is often taken alongside Enzymase Digestive Enzyme Capsules at meals plus L-Glutamine Capsules before food, as a gut routine. Combocillus goes first thing, before any of them.
