Do I need a max strength friendly bacteria supplement?

A max strength friendly bacteria supplement typically contains at least 50 billion live cultures. It's not always necessary to take max strength supplements, as in some cases a strain maybe sufficient at doses of just 1 billion live cultures! But some people find they do better when taking max strength supplement. If this is the case, still look at the strains before looking at the number of billions (high-quality supplements always list the strains not just the species). It's best to take high-quality strains which have been researched for your individual needs. Optibac Every Day MAX contains 75 billion live cultures of the highest quality, extensively researched friendly bacteria, including one of the world’s most researched strains, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®.

How long should you take live cultures for?

Many people like to take specific friendly bacteria strains at certain times, for example during pregnancy, with and after antibiotics, or during the winter flu season. However, many people feel better when taking max strength live cultures every day, to complement their natural gut bacteria. Research suggests that ongoing daily use is fine, with no risk of dependency.

Should you take friendly bacteria on a full or empty stomach?

Many people are unsure what time they should take friendly bacteria supplements, or if they should take live cultures with or without food, especially when taking max strength supplements. In general, it’s best to take your friendly bacteria at breakfast time, as this is when stomach acidity is closer to neutral. Taking live cultures with food further helps to buffer the acid and help the live cultures into the gut. If you miss breakfast, just take with another meal or snack.
