Probiotic Supplements

Shop probiotics at Elite Supps. Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that may help support a balanced gut microbiome and everyday digestive wellbeing as part of a good diet (1). Every member of our team is a certified nutritionist, so you can choose with confidence.

What Do Probiotics Do?

Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, and probiotics add to the beneficial ones. They may help support a balanced microbiome and digestive comfort, and many people use them after a course of antibiotics, while travelling, or during periods of poor eating to help keep their gut in good shape.

How to Choose a Probiotic

  • Strains - different strains (like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) are studied for different things; a multi-strain formula is a common all-rounder.
  • CFU count - the number of live bacteria per dose; more is not automatically better, so match it to your goal.
  • Storage - some need refrigeration, others are shelf-stable - check the label for how to store yours.
  • With prebiotics - some formulas add prebiotic fibre to feed the bacteria.

How to Take and Safety

Follow the label - some probiotics are best on an empty stomach, others with food. Probiotics support general digestive wellbeing and are not a treatment for any condition. If you have ongoing or severe digestive symptoms, see your GP, and check with your healthcare professional first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a weakened immune system.
