At Biocare we take your health seriously. We want you to enjoy a happy gut and a healthy life. That is why we choose just the right types of live bacteria used in the right quantities. We strive to provide a live bacteria product for everyone, from gentle potency powders to high strength capsules to suit individual needs.

Whilst we are big fans of fibre at BioCare, and often use the prebiotic FOS (fructooligosaccharides) in our products, we understand that some of our customers may prefer their live bacteria product without prebiotics, hence we recently added a FOS free version of our best-selling and practitioner favourite BioAdidophilus Forte - BioAcidophilus Forte F.O.S Free to our range.

It is a great alternative for those who are following a low FODMAP, SCD, or GAPS diet, or those of you who are particularly sensitive to prebiotic fibre but still want therapeutic levels of live bacteria.

Many of us have experienced the feeling of our ‘stomachs turning’ when we are nervous, scared or anxious, and there is good reason as to why this happens. The gut, often referred to as our second brain, plays an important role, not just in digestion, but also in regulating the activity of our nervous system.

Modern lifestyles don’t really support our levels of gut bacteria. Toxins in the environment, medicines like antibiotics, stress, poor diet and digestion can all impact their health and diversity. This is where a good quality live bacteria supplement can really help.

Our products use exactly the right bacteria in the right quantities to have maximum effect. Many of our live bacteria products use the LAB⁴ combination of bacteria used in multiple clinical trials.
