Is there a time that's best to take it?
You can take this supplement at a time that suits your routine. Some people prefer to take it with food to support digestion, but it does not need to be taken at a specific time of day.
What probiotic strain does this supplement use?
This supplement uses Bacillus coagulans, branded as Lactospore®.
It is a spore-forming probiotic, meaning the bacteria are naturally protected as they pass through stomach acid and become active in the intestines. This helps support survival, tolerability and effectiveness compared with many non-spore-forming strains.
Why does this formula contain 10 billion spores when others contain much higher numbers?
Many probiotic bacteria do not survive stomach acid and are broken down before reaching the intestines.
Because Bacillus coagulans is spore-forming, a higher proportion of the bacteria survive digestion and reach the gut alive. This means a lower dose can still be effective compared with products that rely on very high counts to compensate for low survival.
In clinical research, Bacillus coagulans has commonly been studied at doses of 2-3 billion spores, where improvements in digestive comfort and gut function have been observed.
Why does this formula only contain one probiotic strain?
This formula uses a single, well-studied strain to provide targeted and predictable support.
Multi-strain blends can sometimes worsen symptoms in people with sensitive digestion. A single-strain approach is often better tolerated and allows for gentler, more consistent support.
What is a prebiotic and why is golden kiwi extract included?
A prebiotic is a food source for beneficial gut bacteria, helping them grow and function effectively.
Golden kiwi extract is included as a natural prebiotic. It contains naturally occurring fibres that help support gut balance, regularity and microbiome diversity, encouraging the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria.
Why have you included zinc carnosine?
Zinc carnosine supports the integrity of the gut lining.
Zinc contributes to normal digestive function, while carnosine is associated with supporting gut tissue health. Together, they provide gentle support for the digestive tract, particularly for people experiencing digestive stress or sensitivity.
What form of calcium does this supplement use?
This supplement uses Aquamin®, a marine-derived form of calcium sourced from mineral-rich algae.
In the gut, calcium supports normal digestive enzyme activity and bowel function. Aquamin® is chosen because it is well tolerated, gentle on digestion, and naturally contains trace minerals that support overall gut health. It is less likely to cause constipation than some other calcium forms.
