If you're in search of excellent probiotics, then opt for this Orthiflor Original from Orthica. Just one a day is sufficient.
Being 78, this seemed better to me than the 50+ option.
I have been using it for 4 weeks now, but I notice little difference in IBS symptoms. I am also following FODMAP.
Ordering from Vitaminstore means a very swift delivery and excellent communication
Easy to use. Quickly dispatched and well packaged.
The bacteria are chosen based on their growth capacity at different acidity levels. The acidity in the gastrointestinal tract varies, and thus Orthiflor Original works very broadly.

Ingredients
One capsule contains:
bacterial preparation with 1 billion CFU* in approximately equal proportions:
Bifidobacterium bifidum
Bifidobacterium lactis
Enterococcus faecium
Lactobacillus casei
Lactobacillus gasseri
Lactobacillus paracasei
Lactobacillus plantarum
Lactobacillus salivarius
Lactococcus lactis
*CFU = colony-forming units
Complete composition: corn starch, gelatin, maltodextrin, bacterial culture, natural PROTEIN isolate, potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, enzymes, manganese sulfate.
Guaranteed free from: gluten, lactose, soy protein, sucrose, synthetic preservatives, synthetic colour, fragrance, and flavourings.
This product is hypoallergenic.
The recommended dosage is 1 capsule per day. The maximum dosage is 3 capsules per day, unless otherwise advised. Do not exceed the maximum daily dosage. Add the contents of the capsule(s) to lukewarm water or skimmed milk, yoghurt drink, lemonade (syrup) at room temperature, stir, and preferably drink on an empty stomach. Not suitable for children up to and including 3 years old. Store dry and at room temperature, out of reach of children. A dietary supplement cannot replace a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
At what time of the day?
It is preferable to take probiotics on an empty stomach, for example just before bedtime, but another time of the day is also fine. When the stomach is empty, the probiotic bacteria remain in the stomach for a shorter time and digestive juices have not yet been produced. These juices are naturally useful for digestion, but they reduce the survival chances of the bacteria in the product. Wait half an hour after taking the supplement before eating, otherwise these juices will still be activated. If you can't manage to take the probiotics on an empty stomach, take them at any other random time.
Why dissolve?
The Orthiflor products in powder form and the powder from the capsules should preferably be dissolved and stirred in hand-warm liquid (see above) before taking them. The billions of bacteria in the capsules, loose powder, or sachets are put into a sort of 'sleep mode' during production so they can be stored for a longer time and need liquid to come back to life. If they were to end up directly in the stomach acid in their 'sleep mode', a large portion of the bacteria would not survive. The bacteria also do not like cold liquid. Hand-warm liquid is preferred. If you choose convenience and take probiotics in chewable tablets, your saliva provides the necessary moisture.
Store dry and at room temperature, out of reach of children.
Recommended age 12+
Features:Preservative-free, No artificial plastics, Yeast-free, Lactose-free
A balanced diet contains sufficient vitamins. Dietary supplements are no substitute for a varied diet. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Store cool and dry.
In case of pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or specialist before use.

Can I give this to my son who is nearly 5?
On 30 april 2024 by Customer serviceOrthica's Orthiflor Original is a probiotic suitable for adults and children aged 4 and above. The product contains various bacterial strains that contribute to a healthy gut flora. The recommended dosage for children is generally one capsule per day. The capsules can be opened, allowing you to mix the contents with, for example, yoghurt or juice.
The description states that it's better to open the capsules of Orthiflor Original for improved processing/absorption. However, is it possible to simply swallow the capsules whole with water? I notice that I feel nauseous when I open them and take them with water or yoghurt. The main question is whether it's harmful to swallow them whole, as I understand that the effectiveness is likely not diminished.
On 21 march 2021 by Customer serviceIt is not harmful to your health to take the capsules whole; however, the effectiveness may be reduced as fewer bacteria survive.
Can you continue taking the original product long-term (daily)? And what would the dosage be? Can you also combine it with, for example, the Plus sachets twice a week? Is this worthwhile?
On 27 january 2020 by Customer serviceOrthiflor Original can be used daily for an extended period. We recommend taking 1 capsule daily. Orthiflor Original can be combined with Orthiflor Plus, but the latter product is more effective when used as a course. So instead of taking a sachet twice a week, it should be taken intensively for 10 days at 1-2 sachets per day.
My 6-year-old son has become sensitive to fructose and lactose after two courses of antibiotics last summer. He has been using VSL#3 since November. This works well, but it is very expensive and difficult to use (sachets in the fridge). Could Orthiflor Original be a good alternative?
On 04 march 2019 by Customer serviceI have looked up the composition of VSL#3 so that I can compare the product with Orthiflor Original.
VSL#3: 450 billion bacteria per sachet.
Orthiflor Original: 1 billion bacteria per capsule.
VSL#3: 8 different bacterial strains.
Orthiflor Original: 9 different bacterial strains.
The difference lies mainly in the dosage per sachet/capsule. VSL#3 provides an exceptionally high dose (this also explains the high price). In comparison, Orthiflor Original pales in significance.
It might be worth trying the Synbiotic Children's Powder from Viridian. The recommended dosage for a 6-year-old is 2 grams of powder, which provides 4 billion bacteria, distributed over 4 bacterial strains. The added prebiotics (fibres) do not contain oligofructose, and the product is also lactose-free.
For all probiotics, it is actually best to store them in the fridge during the summer (especially during a heatwave). At a room temperature of around 19 degrees, this is not strictly necessary, provided you consume the packaging within a few weeks.
On 26 december 2017 by Customer serviceThese are the ingredients: "maize starch, gelatine, maltodextrin, bacterial culture, natural (plant) protein isolate, potassium chloride, magnesium sulphate, enzymes, manganese sulphate."
Also, our MicroFlor does not contain inulin and furthermore does not contain maltodextrin or maize starch. The ingredients of MicroFlor are as follows: "Probiotic mix, prebiotic mix (FOS, FiberAid arabinogalactan), fillers (cellulose, water (capsule)), anti-caking agents (microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silicon, Aerosil®, calcium silicate)."
