When should you take these probiotic and vitamin B2 sticks?
Nutergia Ergyphilus Flash is a dietary supplement in the form of orodispersible powder sticks that combines four strains of freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria—lactobacilli and bifidobacteria—with vitamin B2. Each stick provides 36 billion live lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, including 30.6 billion Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG, as well as 120 mg of acacia fiber and 1.4 mg of vitamin B2.
Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, provides 100% of the Reference Intake per stick. Riboflavin helps maintain normal mucous membranes, including those lining the digestive tract. It is a water-soluble vitamin that the body stores only in small amounts and must be obtained regularly through the diet: dairy products, eggs, organ meats, and green vegetables.
The four strains are identified by their strain numbers: Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103 (the predominant strain), followed by Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, Lacticaseibacillus helveticus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum, at 1.8 billion each. Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are bacteria naturally present in the gut flora. Acacia fiber and fructooligosaccharides round out the formula.
The format is designed for on-the-go use. The stick melts in your mouth and can be taken without water, making it convenient when you’re out and about, at the office, or traveling—places where you don’t always have a glass handy. The box of 4 sticks provides a four-day supply.
To round out your travel kit, we recommend the Biosynex Thermoflash Premium non-contact thermometer. It measures temperature without touching the skin, allowing you to check for a fever while away from home—a useful indicator for knowing when to seek medical advice.

Our expert advice on Nutergia’s Ergyphilus Flash
The most important point is found in the list of precautions: the duration limit and warning signs. A lactic acid bacteria supplement supports gut flora; it does not replace hydration or medical advice if symptoms persist. For children ages 6 and older, be especially careful to ensure they drink enough fluids, and don’t hesitate to call us to discuss their progress.
The stick format delivers on its promise when it’s within easy reach: slip the box into your travel kit or bag rather than leaving it at home. If you’re already taking another probiotic daily, let us know before adding this one, so we can discuss together whether combining the two formulas is beneficial.
FAQ
Does Nutergia Ergyphilus Flash contain lactose or gluten?
No. Its ingredient list does not include any of the required allergens, such as milk or gluten. It is also suitable for a vegetarian diet, according to the manufacturer.
When should I take Nutergia Ergyphilus Flash?
The manufacturer doesn’t specify a particular time: one stick per day is sufficient, to be taken whenever it’s most convenient. Taking it at the same time each day simply helps maintain consistency over the four days the box lasts.
What is the difference between Nutergia Ergyphilus Flash and Ergyphilus capsules?
Ergyphilus Flash comes in powder sticks that dissolve in your mouth without water, in a four-day box. The other Ergyphilus products, such as Ergyphilus Confort or Ergyphilus Plus, are capsules to be swallowed, each with its own formula and recommended duration of use.
