Question 1

Why this formulation and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

UltraFlora Intensive Care is a three-species formula in a single vegetable capsule, delivering 22.5 billion CFU per dose. Each species is identified to strain level: LGG® (Chr. Hansen) and BB-12® are named strains with distinct identities, while Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) is a yeast rather than a bacterium — a structural difference in organism type, not a ranking. The formula is free from dairy protein, lactose, gluten, soy protein, eggs, nuts, and artificial additives, and is suitable for vegans.
The product is manufactured to practitioner standards and cold-packed for quality. Refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C is required throughout storage to maintain viable organism counts through to the end of the pack. Individual capsules make dosing straightforward — one or two capsules daily depending on the purpose, as directed.
Three-Species Composition
Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG®) is a bacterial species at 10 billion CFU per capsule, the largest single amount in the formula. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) is a yeast organism at 7.5 billion CFU. Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactis (BB-12®) is a bacterial species at 5 billion CFU. Together they form the 22.5 billion CFU total per capsule.
Gastrointestinal Mucosal Membrane Support
The formula is designed to support gastrointestinal mucosal membrane health and to maintain healthy bowel and colon function as part of daily use.

Question 2

When should I consider this product?

Accepted Answer

This probiotic provides support for digestive system health and helps maintain healthy gut flora. It makes sense if you&#8217;re:

An adult taking or having recently completed a course of antibiotics, and wanting to help restore good, beneficial gut flora as directed by your healthcare professional.
Someone focusing on gastrointestinal mucosal membrane health as part of a broader digestive health routine.
Looking for a higher-CFU probiotic to support healthy digestive system function on an ongoing daily basis.

Supplement strategy: Many people use this product daily over a defined period, with dose and duration guided by their healthcare professional. The two-capsule-per-day option is available for more intensive support; the single-capsule-per-day option suits ongoing maintenance. Separate any dose from antibiotic medications by at least two hours, as directed by your healthcare professional.
⚠️ Not suitable for: Children (consult a healthcare professional before use in children). People who are immunocompromised should seek healthcare professional advice before use. Do not use if you have a known allergy to any listed ingredient.

Question 3

How do I use this product?

Accepted Answer

Adults: Take 1 capsule twice daily to support restoration of good, beneficial gut flora, or 1 capsule daily to support gastrointestinal system health. Take as directed by your healthcare professional.
Each capsule contains 22.5 billion CFU total: Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG®) 10 billion CFU, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) 7.5 billion CFU, and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactis (BB-12®) 5 billion CFU. The 60-capsule pack provides 60 days at the once-daily dose or 30 days at the twice-daily dose.

Question 4

Does this product need to be refrigerated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Store at 2°C to 8°C (refrigerate, do not freeze). These are live organisms, and refrigeration is required to maintain viable counts through to the expiry date. Metagenics cold-packs and cold-ships this product for that reason.

Question 5

When should I take it — once or twice a day?

Accepted Answer

The manufacturer provides two dosing options: 1 capsule twice daily to help restore good, beneficial gut flora, or 1 capsule daily to support gastrointestinal system health. Your healthcare professional can advise which is appropriate for your situation.

Question 6

Is this product suitable for vegans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The capsule shell is hypromellose (vegetable-derived), and the formula is free from animal products, dairy protein, lactose, and eggs.

Question 7

Can I take this at the same time as antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Separate the probiotic from any antibiotic dose by at least two hours, as directed by your healthcare professional.
