The WHO (World Health Organisation) definition of a probiotic is: “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.”

Our probiotic supplement benefits the whole gut, which is the hollow tube running from the mouth downwards. The formulation is targeted specifically as an amazing all-rounder for digestive health and you will also struggle to find a similar probiotic with a cleaner ingredients list!

“Our gut bacteria can be knocked out of balance for many different reasons such as taking antibiotics, surgery, or following an episode of food poisoning. Gut issues such as IBS and IBD may be associated with imbalance of the gut microbiome too.” says medical Professor Martyn Caplin, BSc DM FRCP, head of the AltruVita Medical Advisory Panel.

AltruVita ProfBiotics Complex+ has been formulated for effective daily gut support with the best live strains to help increase, complement and diversify the range of your gut bacteria. In just one slow-release daily capsule, you can restore the balance of your gut bacteria and support your body to function optimally. Our Vitamin D3 and probiotic supplement combination also enables your immune system to better fight infections.

Our ProfBiotics Complex+ is also approved by the Vegetarian Society and is suitable for people following a vegetarian diet. 

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system*
