Can Alflorex+ be taken continuously?
Yes, Alflorex+ can be used on a continuous basis, as long as it aligns with your personal needs. The probiotic strain Bifidobacterium longum 35624® is well tolerated and has been clinically studied for long-term use.
However, as every individual responds differently, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional if you are considering extended use, especially if you are on medication or have a specific medical condition.
How should Alflorex+ be taken?
Take one capsule per day, ideally for a minimum of 4 weeks, as part of a balanced lifestyle. Swallow the capsule whole, with a suitable liquid such as water, milk, or a plant-based drink (soy, almond, rice).
Avoid acidic fruit juices, as they may affect the live bacteria. However, if taken during a meal, these juices are unlikely to cause any harm due to the protective effect of food on the probiotic.
Is Alflorex+ well tolerated?
Yes, the strain Bifidobacterium longum 35624® is recognised for its excellent tolerance. It has been used safely for nearly a decade by thousands of people across Europe, the US, and Canada, and is listed on the EFSA QPS (Qualified Presumption of Safety) list for food-grade bacterial strains.
Are there any side effects?
No side effects are expected with Alflorex+. However, as with any supplement, some individuals may experience mild sensitivity. If in doubt, speak to your GP or pharmacist.
Can Alflorex+ be taken with other supplements or medications?
There are no known interactions between Alflorex+ and other food supplements or medications. That said, because it is a live bacterial strain, antibiotics may inactivate it. If you are currently on medication or managing a chronic condition, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before starting Alflorex+.
