About Cytoplans daily probiotic
A healthy gut starts with a balanced microbiome.

Advanced GUARD™ technology helps protect the live bacteria during digestion, supporting their optimal delivery to the intestines where they can thrive.

Why a healthy microbiome matters
Your gut microbiome, the community of bacteria living in your digestive system, plays a vital role in almost every aspect of health. A balanced microbiome helps optimise digestion and nutrient absorption, supports immunity and can even influence mood and energy levels. However, factors such as ageing, stress, diet and antibiotics can disrupt this delicate balance. Maintaining a diverse microbiome through natural probiotics helps maintain balance, supporting long-term digestive health and optimal wellbeing.

What are live bacteria?
Live bacteria are beneficial microorganisms that naturally occur in the gut microbiome. Probiotic supplements provide specific strains of live bacteria that help support a healthy and balanced microbiome.
Why do I need a daily probiotic?
Your gut microbiome plays an important role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function and overall wellbeing. Everyday factors such as stress, diet, travel, antibiotics and ageing can affect the balance of beneficial gut bacteria. Taking daily probiotic capsulescan help support a healthy, balanced microbiome and maintain digestive health as part of your everyday wellness routine.

Not all probiotics survive the journey through the digestive system. Fos-A-Dophilus is formulated with advanced GUARD™ technology to help protect the live bacteria as they pass through the stomach, supporting their delivery to the intestines where they are needed most. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking for stomach acid resistant probiotics.
What is the difference between Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium?
Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are two of the most researched groups of beneficial bacteria.Lactobacillusspecies are commonly found throughout the digestive tract, including the small intestine, while Bifidobacteriumspecies are among the most abundant beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. Together, they help support a healthy and balanced gut microbiome, which is why both are included in our multi-strain probiotic supplement.

If you're looking for more targeted microbiome support, you may wish to consider Recovery Biotic, our high-potency probiotic formula.
How long does it take for probiotics to work?
The effects of probiotics can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as diet, lifestyle and the existing balance of your gut microbiome. While some people notice changes quickly, for others it may take a few weeks of consistent use.
As the beneficial bacteria become established within the gut, some people may experience temporary changes such as mild bloating or changes in bowel habits. These effects are usually short-lived and should settle as your microbiome adapts.
Fos-A-Dophilus is designed for daily use, providing ongoing support for digestive health and microbiome balance.

Can the capsules be opened?
Yes. If preferred, the capsule can be opened and the contents sprinkled onto cool food or mixed into a cold drink. Avoid adding the powder to hot foods or beverages, as excessive heat may affect the viability of the live bacteria.This can be a convenient option for those who have difficulty swallowing capsules.
