About our probiotic supplement
Fos-A-Dophilus is a broad-spectrum daily probiotic supplement formulated to support a healthy, balanced microbiome in adults aged 40 and over. Each vegan capsule combines six highly researched natural probiotic strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum, and Lactobacillus acidophilus, delivering 4 billion live, viable bacteria that work together to promote optimal digestion and overall gut health.
With advanced GUARD™ technology, the live bacteria are shielded from stomach acid and released where they’re needed most, within the intestines, to ensure maximum effectiveness. Naturally fermented, antibiotic-resistant and shelf-stable, these carefully selected strains maintain their potency without the need for refrigeration.
Why is an age-specific probiotic supplement recommended?
As we get older, the composition of our gut microbiome naturally shifts, most notably with a gradual decline in Bifidobacteria, one of the most important groups of beneficial bacteria for digestive health and overall wellbeing. This change can affect how efficiently we digest food, absorb nutrients and maintain immune balance.
Fos-A-Dophilus is particularly recommended for adults over 40, as it contains a higher concentration of Bifidobacteria, beneficial bacteria that colonise the large intestine but are less easily replenished with age. This targeted probiotic supplement helps restore microbial balance, supporting gut health, optimising digestion and promoting overall wellbeing.
For younger adults seeking daily support, our Acidophilus Plus probiotic supplement offers a balanced blend of natural probiotics suited to general digestive and immune wellbeing.
Why a healthy microbiome matters
Your gut microbiome, the community of bacteria living in your digestive system, plays a vital role in almost every aspect of health. A balanced microbiome helps optimise digestion and nutrient absorption, supports immunity and can even influence mood and energy levels. However, factors such as ageing, stress, diet and antibiotics can disrupt this delicate balance. Maintaining a diverse microbiome through natural probiotics helps maintain balance, supporting long-term digestive health and overall wellbeing.

FAQ’s
Why should I take a probiotic supplement?
Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that support a healthy balance in your gut microbiome, the community of microorganisms that plays an important role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immunity and overall wellness. As modern lifestyles, stress, ageing and factors like antibiotics or poor diet can disrupt this balance, supplementing with probiotics helps replenish and maintain these 'beneficial” bacteria. Fos-A-Dophilus is a gentle, broad-spectrum probiotic ideal for everyday use to support health and wellbeing.
What is GUARD technology and how does it work?
GUARD technology is a patented, innovative and natural technology proven to protect the bacterial strains from stomach acid and enable the timed release of probiotics within the intestines. As the capsule reaches the stomach, a gel barrier forms to protect the active ingredient from the stomach’s acidity. Once in the intestines, the gel dissipates to ensure a controlled release of the active ingredients which maximises the product’s efficacy at the ideal site of action.
Why is this probiotic supplement recommended for individuals aged 40+?
Fos-A-Dophilus is particularly recommended for people over 40 years of age as it is higher in Bifidobacteria, which colonise the large intestine and are less easily replenished in those over the age of 40. For younger adults we generally recommend our ‘Acidophilus Plus’ supplement.
Which strains are included in Fos-A-Dophilus?
This formula delivers 6 highly researched bacterial strains - Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
