It's always recommended to consult a health care professional before using a new supplement such as probiotics. In theory, you can not take too much probiotics, the intestinal transit should eliminate unnecessary bacteria. Our bacterial strains are transient and don't stay in the gut for a long period of time. However, it's always better to start the intake of probiotics more gradually and monitor your wellbeing. Benefits of Bio-K+ will take place in the intestines to support the gastrointestinal health. The number of probiotics contained in a product is specific to the strains included and is a key, but not the only factor to take into consideration while to supporting wellbeing.

Here are some useful tips on how to identify an effective probiotic: 1. Identifiable high quality strains: On all Bio-K+ products, you will find the strains used in the product clearly identified on the packaging. Our patented formula, for the majority of our products, contains 3 strains: L. casei LBC80R(R), L. rhamnosus CLR2(R) and L. acidophilus CL1285(R) 2. Synergy between the strains: Most of the Bio-K+ products contain these three patented strains that ferment together, demonstrating strong synergy in the finished product. 3. Guaranteed bioactivity: The bacterial count of the Bio-K+ products is guaranteed until the expiration date or best before date. 4. Gastrointestinal survival: Bio-K+ capsules use targeted-release technology to protect bacteria from stomach acidity. The bacteria in our drinkable probiotics are active and alive, they are also safeguarded by a nutrient-rich environment. 5. Clinical studies on the finished product: The efficacy and safety of our probiotic strains in finished products are supported by several peer-reviewed clinical studies.

You can take Bio-K+ probiotics at any time of day, either with or without food. We encourage you to find your own rhythm when taking Bio-K+ products. Don't mix your probiotic with warm food and do not cook it. The bacteria are sensitive to heat.
