Probiotics Live-Bacteria · Hifas da Terra | 30 capsules

Probiotics Live-Bacteria is a practical daily supplement for adults looking to support the balance of their gut microbiota through diet and lifestyle. It is particularly relevant:

• During or after a course of antibiotics — antibiotics affect both harmful and beneficial bacteria; replenishing live cultures during and after a course is one of the most common reasons people reach for a probiotic
• During travel, when diet changes and new environments can disrupt the usual gut balance
• After periods of irregular eating, stress, or disrupted sleep, all of which can affect gut microbiota composition
• As part of a consistent daily gut health routine alongside a fibre-rich diet
• For those whose diet is low in fermented foods such as yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, or miso — the natural dietary sources of live bacteria

Take one capsule daily, ideally at the same time each day. Some people prefer to take probiotics with a meal; others take them on an empty stomach — follow the guidance on the product label.

What is the difference between Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains?

Both are the most well-researched genera of beneficial bacteria found in the human gut. Lactobacillus strains are predominantly found in the small intestine and are associated with lactose digestion and maintaining the acidic environment of the gut. Bifidobacterium strains are more concentrated in the large intestine and are particularly associated with early gut colonisation and fibre fermentation. A formula containing both offers broader coverage across different sections of the digestive tract.

What does CFU mean?

CFU stands for colony-forming unit — the measure used to quantify the number of viable, live bacteria in a probiotic product. It indicates how many bacteria are capable of multiplying and establishing themselves in the gut. Always check whether the CFU count on the label refers to the count at the time of manufacture or at the end of shelf life — the latter is the more meaningful figure.

Do I need to refrigerate this product?

Hifas da Terra's quality standards aim for stability at room temperature, but always follow the storage instructions on the packaging.

Can I take it at the same time as antibiotics?

Yes, but with a gap. If you are taking antibiotics, it is generally recommended to take your probiotic at least 2 hours apart from the antibiotic dose to reduce the chance of the antibiotic affecting the live bacteria before they reach the gut. Always consult your healthcare professional for personalised guidance.

How long does a pack of 30 capsules last?

At the recommended dose of one capsule per day, a pack of 30 capsules provides a one-month supply. For best results, consistent daily use over several weeks is recommended before assessing the effect.
