Probiotics Grounded in Clinical Science

BioGaia is an innovative Swedish healthcare company and a world leader in probiotics. With over 30 years of experience, BioGaia specialises in the Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus reuteri) strains, which are among the most scientifically documented probiotic strains globally.

Whether you are supporting infant digestive health, immune function, or oral hygiene, BioGaia products are designed to meet rigorous clinical standards.

The BioGaia Difference:

  • Clinically Proven: Backed by over 250 clinical trials.
  • Strain Specific: Primarily featuring L. reuteri Protectis (DSM 17938).
  • Versatile Delivery: Available in easy-to-use drops, tablets, and lozenges.

Deep Dive: The Science of BioGaia

BioGaia’s reputation as a world leader in probiotics is built on the foundation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly known as Lactobacillus reuteri). Unlike many other probiotic strains that are transient, L. reuteri is a human-indigenous species that has co-evolved with us since the beginning of time.

Targeted Probiotic Strains

The effectiveness of a probiotic is determined by its specific strain. BioGaia focuses on patented strains that have been tested for safety and efficacy across all ages:

  • L. reuteri Protectis (DSM 17938): Extensively studied for digestive health, particularly in managing colic, regurgitation, and constipation in infants, as well as general gut health in adults.
  • L. reuteri Gastrus: A combination of two strains (DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 6475) designed to support stomach health and reduce the side effects of certain medical protocols.
  • L. reuteri Prodentis: Specialized for oral health, helping to maintain a healthy balance of microflora in the gums and teeth.

Quality & Stability

BioGaia products are engineered for stability. Their unique delivery systems - including oil drops and stable chewable tablets - ensure that the live bacteria remain viable without the absolute necessity of constant refrigeration (though cool storage is always recommended in the Australian climate to maintain maximum potency).

How to Use BioGaia Probiotics

  1. Consistency is Key: Probiotics work best when taken at the same time each day.
  2. Avoid Heat: Do not add drops or tablets to boiling liquids, as high temperatures can damage the live bacteria.
  3. Dosage: Always follow the specific dosage instructions on the product label or as directed by your health professional.
