When should you take Probiolog Flore'Optima?
Probiolog Flore'Optima is a dietary supplement in capsule form that combines three strains of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria: Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11, Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71, and Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell-52. Each capsule provides a total of 15 billion bacteria. The formula is part of our selection of lactic acid bacteria-based supplements.
The capsule is enteric-coated: its coating, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and gellan gum, is designed to pass through the stomach before releasing its contents. Just one capsule a day is enough to complete the treatment, making it easy to take regularly.
Each strain is identified by three terms: the genus (Lacticaseibacillus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus), the species (rhamnosus, bifidum, helveticus), and the strain reference (Rosell-11, Rosell-71, Rosell-52). This last code is what distinguishes two products of the same species. The quantity is expressed in CFU, or colony-forming units, meaning live bacteria capable of multiplying.
The formula is intended for a 30-day regimen, with no specific time of day required for taking it.
We also offer Ergyzym Nutergia Digestive Enzymes, a digestive enzyme formula combined with vitamins B2, B3, and B5, containing no lactic acid bacteria strains: the two products do not contain the same ingredients and can be taken together.

Our expert advice on Probiolog Flore'Optima
With live bacteria, storage is just as important as when you take it: a box left in a car or near a heat source in the summer loses its effectiveness. This is the practical detail to keep in mind, more so than the time of day you take it. From a health perspective, the contraindication for immunocompromised individuals is the most important factor to check, including if you’re lending the bottle to a loved one.
Consistency over the 30-day period is more important than a specific schedule. Digestive issues that persist, worsen, or are accompanied by fever or blood in the stool require a doctor’s consultation, not a dietary supplement.
