Can I take The Better Gut throughout perimenopause and menopause?

While probiotics are generally considered safe for most people, there are certain situations where caution is warranted, especially when combining them with other medications or treatments.

What is the significance of 50 billion CFU?

CFU stands for colony-forming unit—the standard way of measuring the quantity of live strains in probiotic supplements. It refers to the number of live, active microorganisms present in one The Better Gut capsule. We pride ourselves on our optimal dosage - 50-billion CFU, enough to have an impact but not so many to overwhelm the delicate balance of the gut microbiome.

Is it safe to take post cancer treatment?

The Better Gut has no known contraindications for use following breast and ovarian cancer treatment but you should always check with your Doctor first. It is safe to take alongside an aromatase inhibitor like Tamoxifen.

Use is not advised in patients with severe immuno-compromised conditions and at risk of opportunistic infections and in those with badly damaged GI tracts.
