Prebiotics & Probiotics Supplements
Pre - and Probiotics work together to support a healthy gut environment. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, may help maintain digestive function or gut health, while Prebiotics provide the fibres and substrates that help nourish beneficial bacteria.There are also certain probiotics for women that play a role in supporting vaginal health.
The Orthoplex Prebiotic & Probiotic Range is formulated with carefully selected strains and manufactured to meet strict quality standards. These practitioner-only supplements are available through qualified health professionals who can help determine whether a probiotic supplement is suitable for your individual needs.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
Understanding Probiotics and their role
The human gastrointestinal tract contains trillions of microorganisms. Diet remains the foundation for supporting microbial diversity, with fermented and fibre-rich whole foods contributing to a healthy gut environment. Probiotic supplements may complement dietary approaches by delivering specific bacterial strains in measured quantities.
Strain specificity matters because two probiotics from the same species can behave differently in the gut. Formulation decisions, including strain selection, colony-forming unit (CFU) counts, and stability through shelf life, all influence the quality of a probiotic supplement.
Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Fibre
Prebiotics are non-digestible fibres that feed beneficial bacteria already present in the gut. Combining prebiotics with probiotics can support the gut environment from two angles: introducing beneficial microorganisms while also nourishing them. A health professional can provide guidance on whether a combined prebiotic and probiotic approach, or a standalone probiotic, suits your circumstances.
What sets the Orthoplex Range apart?
Orthoplex applies the same transparency and quality standards to its probiotic formulations as it does across the entire gut health range. Every excipient for each product is fully disclosed on our website, giving practitioners and their patients complete visibility over what each capsule or powder contains.
Ingredients are sourced globally based on quality, then independently tested by leading laboratories. Strains need to survive manufacturing, storage, and transit through stomach acid to reach the gut. The Orthoplex range is designed with these challenges in mind, with formulations that account for stability and delivery.
