Every Day EXTRA can be given to adults and children, from 4 years onwards, with the following recommendations:
Probiotics are not recommended for those with serious medical conditions e.g. those who are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the ICU, have melaena, have a central venous catheter, short bowel syndrome, or patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor's care. Keep out of reach of children.
Gut health supplements are not intended to prevent, treat or diagnose any medical conditions. If taking probiotic supplements for gut health, note that these should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are taking any medications or have a serious medical condition, consult a doctor before use. Optibac supplements will not cause dependency and may be used on an ongoing basis.
Probiotic blend: Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37®, Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07®, Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04®; micro-crystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide.
Each capsule contains 20 billion CFU. Guaranteed until the date of expiry.
Following the taxonomic updates published in April 2020, a reclassification has been proposed for the L.paracasei species, and the paracasei strain in Every Day EXTRA may therefore now also be known as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei Lpc-37®, or still indeed as L. paracasei Lpc-37® for short.

You can choose to take specific probiotic strains at certain times, for example during pregnancy, with or after antibiotics, or during the winter flu season. However, many people feel better when taking daily high-strength probiotics to complement their natural gut bacteria, especially if they have ongoing health conditions. Research 1,2 suggests that long-term daily use is fine, with no risk of dependency.

With probiotics, ‘more’ is not always ‘better’, though some people do better on high-strength supplements. But it’s still more important to choose high strength supplements with strains featured in multiple gold standard clinical trials, where the research is relevant to your needs. High quality probiotic supplements like Optibac Probiotics Every Day EXTRA1 contain the same number of billions used in supporting clinical trials.

Yes, it is safe, and often advisable, to take a daily high-strength probiotic supplement. Good bacteria only colonize in the gut for a few weeks and will disappear after a few weeks. Research1,2,3 suggests that taking regular probiotic supplements helps to maintain gut health and the microbiome.

“What time should I take probiotics?” and “Should I take probiotic with or without food?” are common questions, especially when taking high strength live cultures. It’s best to take your probiotics at breakfast time, as this is when stomach acidity is closest to neutral. Taking them with food further helps to buffer the acid and assist the passage of the live cultures into the gut. If you miss breakfast, just take with another meal or snack.
