Which probiotic product will be the best choice for You ?

A general rule is to start with the less powerfull cultures. If You begin with a highly potent culture it will be hard for the body to adapt smoothly.

mikroBalans nonlac is recommended for people with strong sensitivity reactions to milk and lactic products.

Probion bifido is the normal initial choice for most people, to provide adequate culture balance.

Probion is a more potent preparation and people with dyspeptic conditions and loose stools could choose this from the start.

mikroBalans should be used when on acceptable intestinal balance of the active flora has been reached through the use of Probion or Probion bifido. At this time a short term (appr. 2 months) daily regimen of mikroBalans will ensure toxic agents are completly removed from the intestinal system. This regimen can be repeated from time to time as required.

In all cases the best approach is always to start with a low dosage regimen and some days later add some more of the cultures.
