As antibiotics wage their war against infections, they unleash damage, decimating the precious biodiversity of our gut flora. This disruption can pave the way for a range of health issues, ranging from digestive disorders to weakened immune function. Often the damage being caused by antibiotics is immediate, and they leave many suffering with digestive discomfort or even antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. This is exactly why experts recommend supporting the gut flora during and after every course of antibiotics with a probiotic.
What is a probiotic?
Probiotics are good gut bacteria that are able to provide numerous advantages to our health when ingested in high quantities. While primarily linked to gastrointestinal well-being, their impact extends far beyond that! These friendly microorganisms play a vital role in sustaining a well-functioning digestive system, enhancing the immune system, as well as keeping many aspects of your health in order. That is why it is key to ensure we restore our gut flora whilst it is being challenged by antibiotics!
How can probiotics support my health?
Probiotics are primarily recognized for their ability to support digestive health in the body. The most well-known strains of probiotics include lactobacillus and bifidobacteria. These strains colonise the mucus membranes of our digestive system, ensuring that the natural gut flora can effectively combat unwanted substances. The presence of a robust population of beneficial bacteria in our digestive system enhances our resistance to pathogens and toxins.
Taking a probiotic can be an ideal solution for promoting overall health due to several reasons. The gut flora is sensitive to various factors and can weaken over time if exposed to excessive stressors. When our gut bacteria are compromised, it affects the integrity of the intestinal lining, leading to increased permeability and easier entry of pathogens and toxins into the bloodstream (referred to as “leaky gut”). Although taking antibiotics is sometimes unavoidable, our gut flora can suffer indefinitely from the damage they can cause. Many who take antibiotics suffer immediately after taking the first capsule with digestive discomfort, constipation or antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. However, for some, the damage caused by antibiotics is something that might not be noticeable until weeks after, by which time you may not even associate the problems with the antibiotics anymore! So it is always recommended to support your gut – during and after any course of antibiotics.
What makes OMNi-BiOTiC ® 10 AAD unique?
For the last 30 years here at Institut AllergoSan, we have been dedicated to creating unique high-quality products that have noticeable effects. Similar to all the products within our OMNi-BiOTiC® range, our popular OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD adheres to a comprehensive set of quality standards. OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD is formulated with six bacterial strains that have undergone rigorous testing and proven efficacy in clinical studies. Each 5g dose contains an impressive 5 billion bacteria that are resistant to stomach acid, and it also includes a unique blend of enzymes and fiber to enhance the strength of the bacteria upon activation! Unlike many other probiotic products, there is no need to refrigerate OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD, thanks to the robustness of the strains which can withstand temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius. This resilience is achieved through a freeze-dried formulation and a reactivation process that occurs just before consumption! Simply mix the product with a glass of water, wait for one minute, give it a stir again, and then it’s ready to drink!
OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD is a high-quality synbiotic that is very often recommended, especially as an ideal support during the administration of antibiotics. Both, in combination, provide optimal support for the human body! – Michael Katzensteiner, Medical Science Liason (Institut AllergoSan)
How does OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD work?
Experts recommend supporting your gut during and after every course of antibiotics. OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD is a dietary supplement, containing ten scientifically tested bacterial strains which exhibit the following characteristics and properties, which define the intended use of the product:
- Sustainably colonise gut even during course of antibiotics.
- Prevent pathogens (Clostridium difficile) from settling in the intestines.
- Reduce the release of toxins produced by Clostridium difficile.
Who can benefit from OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD?
OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD can sustainably regulate your gut flora and it is the perfect solution for anyone who is taking a course of antibiotics.
Several factors can adversely affect your gut flora, including elevated stress levels, imbalanced diets, and frequent medication use, such as the use of antibiotics. The damage caused by these factors might not manifest immediately, and you may not realise the connection between your gut health and certain health issues you may be experiencing. A compromised gut flora can contribute to digestive problems like bloating and constipation, as well as fatigue and skin issues. Above all, an imbalanced gut can have a significant impact on your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections.
How is OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD taken?
During the course of antibiotics, stir 1 sachet of OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD (= 5 g) twice daily into a glass of water (approx. 125 mL) at room temperature, wait at least 1 minute for it to activate, stir again and then drink. After the course of antibiotics, continue taking 1 sachet once daily preferably for another 14 days. Ideally, OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD should not be taken together with an antibiotic, but at least 1 hour before or after. Children up to 3 years of age can take half the dosage. OMNi-BiOTiC® 10 AAD should preferably be taken on an empty stomach. To take this product twice daily, we recommend taking it before breakfast and before your evening meal is recommended. If you suffer from fructose intolerance, you should prolong the activation time to at least 30 minutes. During this time the bacteria metabolise the fructooligosaccharides. Therefore, no fructose gets into the intestine.
