Travel Abroad

New environments, hot and humid temperatures, unfamiliar foods, swimming, change of routine, disrupted sleep – travelling can be very challenging for us at times, and for our gut bacteria! Taking live cultures for travel can help to complement the gut bacteria^1,2 and keep it in balance whilst you’re away, allowing you to relax and enjoy yourself. Optibac Travel Abroad is one of the best friendly bacteria supplements for travel as it’s specially designed for travelling abroad – it doesn’t require refrigeration and contains live cultures strains researched for travellers’ needs^3,4. A good gut feeling means a great holiday!

Yes, Optibac Travel Abroad now has a great new vegan formulation! It’s also gluten and sugar-free, and suitable for everyone over the age of 4 years (pregnant women should consult with a doctor before use). The capsules are very easy to swallow, or if desired, they can be opened, and the contents popped into cool, non-acidic drinks. These unique features combine to make it one of the easiest and best live cultures travel supplements to use for the whole family!

We recommend that our Optibac Travel Abroad are taken for at least 3-5 days before departing on your foreign travels. This allows time for the live cultures to reach the gut and begin to complement the natural gut bacteria^1,2. With this in mind, 20 capsules is usually plenty for someone taking a 2 week trip.

As travelling can be more fun for you than it is for your stomach, it makes good sense to give your gut some love in the days before your trip. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol; eat foods containing plenty of natural fibre, such as beans, pulses, and whole grains, and begin to take your live cultures travel supplement. It is fine to use Travel Abroad in combination with your usual daily live cultures supplement. Take friendly bacteria regularly in between your foreign trips to keep your gut bacteria in balance.
