Question 1

What is a multi-strain probiotic?

Accepted Answer

A multi-strain probiotic contains more than one identified probiotic strain. Probitec IBS combines eight strains to provide broader microbiome support than a single-strain daily probiotic.

Question 2

Which probiotic strains are in Probitec IBS?

Accepted Answer

The formula includes L. acidophilus NCFM, L. rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103), L. plantarum Lp-115, L. paracasei Lpc-37, B. lactis Bl-04, B. lactis HN019, B. lactis Bi-07 and Streptococcus thermophilus St-21.

Question 3

What does 20 billion CFU mean?

Accepted Answer

CFU means colony-forming units, a measure used to describe the quantity of viable probiotic bacteria. Each Probitec IBS capsule provides a total of 20 billion CFU across the eight-strain formula.

Question 4

Who is Probitec IBS generally for?

Accepted Answer

It is formulated for people needing ongoing microbiome support where digestive symptoms are persistent, recurring or more complex than a short-term disruption, including recurring bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhoea or bowel irregularity.

Question 5

Does Probitec IBS treat irritable bowel syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Probitec IBS is a health supplement designed to support the gut microbiome and digestive function. It is not positioned as a treatment or cure for IBS and should not replace diagnosis, prescribed medicine or healthcare-professional care.

Question 6

What is the difference between Probitec IBS and DuoCap?

Accepted Answer

DuoCap is a single-strain prebiotic + probiotic option for daily or short-term support, particularly around antibiotics. Probitec IBS provides eight strains and 20 billion CFU for broader support where symptoms or microbiome needs are persistent or recurring.

Question 7

Can Probitec IBS be taken with antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The product is designed to be taken at the same time as an antibiotic. Continue prescribed treatment exactly as directed and ask a healthcare professional about the most appropriate duration of probiotic support.

Question 8

When should persistent digestive symptoms be medically assessed?

Accepted Answer

Severe, unexplained, worsening or long-lasting symptoms should be assessed rather than managed with a supplement alone. Seek prompt care for weight loss, blood in the stool, fever, persistent vomiting, dehydration or significant abdominal pain.
