Bonusan Bacteri 8 Senior offers a balanced blend of 8 bacterial strains specially formulated for the elderly. We know that, as age advances, the number and diversity of bacteria in the microbiome decreases. It contains a mixture of no less than 3 species of lactobacilli (lactic acid bacteria) and 5 species of bifidobacteria. Bacteri 8 Senior contains 5 billion bacteria guaranteed until the expiration date. This means that, at the time of production, we administer a larger dose to ensure a sufficient number of viable bacteria by the expiration date. Unless otherwise advised, it is recommended to take one capsule daily. Preferably on an empty stomach before bedtime or half an hour before breakfast. When bacterial strains or fibers are first used, there is the possibility of gas or cramps. This harmless phenomenon means that the bacteria have reached the intestine alive and are beginning to ferment. After a while (usually a week), the body adapts and these symptoms diminish or disappear completely. In case of discomfort, it is advisable to reduce the initial dosage to half that recommended during the first two weeks. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Store in a dry place and at room temperature.
