Everyday support for gut balance

For straightforward daily maintenance, Every Day capsules provide a convenient way to top up your friendly bacteria. If you’re looking for a stronger option, Every Day Extra offers higher-strength live cultures for those who want added support. These formulas are designed for consistent, long-term use; take them at a similar time each day, preferably with food and water, and allow a few weeks to assess how they suit you. Always read the label for strain details and usage guidance.

Support for women, pregnancy and little ones

Optibac also creates blends for specific needs. For Women features strains studied for the vaginal microbiome and can be taken alongside your usual daily product. If you’re expecting or breastfeeding, the Pregnancy formula is formulated for this life stage, with carefully selected live cultures to complement a varied, balanced diet. For families, Babies & Children offers friendly bacteria in an easy-to-mix powder, suitable for adding to cool food or drinks. As with all supplements, check age guidance and talk to a healthcare professional if you have any questions about suitability.

Travel know‑how and how to use

Changes in routine, time zones and diet can be challenging when you’re away. Travel Abroad is designed to be taken before and during trips to support your gut flora while you’re on the move. Start in the days leading up to departure and continue throughout your stay, following on-pack directions. Store products in a cool, dry place, and avoid mixing powders with hot foods that could affect live cultures.

Whether you’re seeking everyday balance, looking after intimate health, supporting pregnancy, or caring for children’s tummies, the Optibac range at Holland & Barrett offers clear, research-led choices. Our in-store colleagues and online guidance are here to help you select the right product for your needs and build a routine that fits your lifestyle.
