Full Spectrum Bio-Culture Defence
Swiss BioEnergetics
Overview
The effectiveness of this product is difficult to fully assess due to the lack of specific dosage information for individual probiotic strains within the 'Active Live Culture Blend'. While the included strains are known to be beneficial, their quantity (CFUs) is crucial for their efficacy. The 40mg of FOS is a low dose for a prebiotic, as effective doses typically range from 5-15g/day. Without CFU counts, it's uncertain if the probiotic strains are present at clinically effective levels.
The Good
Contains a diverse blend of well-researched probiotic strains (Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species, Streptococcus Thermophilus).
Includes FOS, a prebiotic, to support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Generally safe for healthy adults with a low risk of adverse effects.
The Bad
Crucial CFU (Colony Forming Unit) counts for the 'Active Live Culture Blend' are not disclosed, making it impossible to assess the potency of the probiotic strains.
The 40mg dose of FOS (prebiotic) is significantly underdosed compared to clinically effective amounts (typically 5-15g/day).
Presence of excipients like Maltodextrin and Corn Starch, which are not problematic but don't add to the nutritional value.
