Probiotics not only benefit digestive health, but also confers other health benefits, such as supporting the immune system. There are also on-going research with mental health, weight loss etc.
Why do we need so many different strains of probiotics?
It’s really important to remember that not all strains of probiotics are the same. Each is unique and serves specific purpose(s) in your body. To improve your overall health and well-being , you may consider replenishing different bacteria strains as our health is linked to the diversity of our gut microbiome.

What should I take if I am planning on getting pregnant?

How are probiotics made and where are they sourced from?
Commercially used probiotic bacteria strains can have a variety of origins including human, animal and plant sources.
Bacteria are initially isolated from their origin and then cultured (grown) using specific nutrients suitable for each strain. These beneficial bacteria thrive and multiply from the addition of these nutrients via a process called fermentation. The probiotic bacteria are then rapidly frozen (freeze-dried) under strict controlled conditions.
How to Use
How often should I consume probiotics?
Probiotics are considered transient bacteria and may disappear when not consumed regularly. If dietary intake is inadequate, daily consumption of probiotics is recommended to maintain a healthy intestinal environment.
What is the small canister in the probiotic jar for?
The canister is the desiccant. It helps absorb moisture and is used to maintain the probiotic product. Please leave the desiccant(s) in the jar after opening.
What are the conditions for storage?
The probiotic product needs to be stored below 30 degree Celsius, in a dry environment with low humidity. Improper storage conditions can adversely affect the product. If cooler temperature and lower humidity cannot be achieved, storing probiotics in the refrigerator may be of further benefit.
Do high temperatures affect stability of the bacteria? Does temperature in transit affect product?
The probiotics are generally stable even with slight fluctuations of temperature above 30 degrees. It could pose more of a problem with prolonged exposure to higher temperatures.
My probiotic product is still within its expiry date but has turned brown. Can I still take them?
The probiotic capsules need to be consumed within 3 months after opening, regardless of expiry date.
Probiotic bacteria count diminishes over time. Will your probiotic product still contain the amount of probiotic stated on the label by the expiry date?
Probiotics do diminish over time, so to ensure Life-Space probiotics stay viable until the expiry date, we add an overage of bacteria to allow for a natural decline over time. However, the probiotic products do need to be stored at below 30 degrees and in a low humidity environment to ensure product integrity is maintained.
