Psychobiotic Positive Thoughts is one capsule a day, in which the manufacturer has combined ten strains of bacteria with a prebiotic. Each capsule contains 35 billion colony-forming units and 280 mg of chicory inulin, and among the microorganisms, alongside lactic acid bacteria, are the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii SB01. The distribution of doses among the strains is uneven, and it speaks volumes about the formulation: five positions contribute 4.3 billion CFU each, three contribute 3.3 billion, one contributes 3 billion, and the yeast contributes 0.6 billion. The capsule shell is vegetarian and made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, so the preparation can be used by those avoiding animal-derived ingredients in capsules. The manufacturer declares the preparation as lactose-free, and the recommended way to take it is one capsule on an empty stomach, taken with water. The packaging contains 30 capsules, which is exactly a month of daily use, and this is the size in which this preparation is sold. Each strain is provided with a strain designation (LRa05, BL21, LH76, and so on), so the label can be compared item by item, not just species by species.<\/p>\n
The ten items on the list represent a multi-strain composition, but the sheer number is the least interesting information here. More interesting is the shape of the table: the top five each receive 4.3 billion CFU, and this is where most of the declared total comes from, while the lower end (Limosilactobacillus fermentum LF61 with 3 billion and yeast with 0.6 billion) adds the rest. Saccharomyces boulardii SB01 is not a bacterium, but probiotic yeast; they behave differently in the preparation than lactic acid bacilli, and it's worth knowing this if you are comparing labels between brands. Chicory inulin at 280 mg serves as a prebiotic fiber and, as a plant-based raw material, distinguishes itself from the rest of the table - as one of the few items, it is given in milligrams rather than colony-forming units. It is also worth noting how this table is structured from the perspective of reading the label: the daily portion and the capsule are the same thing here, so each CFU value refers simultaneously to one capsule and to the entire daily portion, without multiplication and without footnotes. The HPMC shell closes the list as a structural element.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer provides one scheme and does not differentiate it based on the season or diet:<\/p>\n
\"On an empty stomach\" practically means the first thing after waking up, before breakfast and before coffee. With a preparation taken once a day, regularity is the easiest thing to lose, so it's simpler to place the packaging next to a glass on the nightstand than to force the capsule into the morning rush. A hot drink is a separate limitation: high temperatures do not favor live cultures, so set aside tea or coffee for a few minutes. If you are currently taking antibiotics, maintain a gap between the medication dose and the capsule and establish the order with your doctor or pharmacist. The product card does not resolve this situation. Swallow the capsules whole; the HPMC shell is part of the preparation's structure, and there is no reason to open it or pour the contents into a drink. Keep the packaging closed, in a dry place, away from the steaming kettle and radiator - moisture and heat are two conditions that live cultures cannot tolerate. Check the expiration date on the packaging and treat it as a limit by which the packaging should be used.<\/p>\n
This product is for someone who wants one simple ritual: one capsule, in the morning, for a month, without measuring and without dissolving powder. It will be appreciated by those avoiding gelatin, as the coating is vegetarian, and by those on a lactose-free diet - this declaration is stated directly by the manufacturer. Check the gluten-free status and the full allergen declaration on the package; in the case of celiac disease and food allergies, the label is the definitive version. It will also be appreciated by those who are tired of measuring powder: the whole scheme is one capsule and a glass of water, and the package measures the month for you. If you are looking for a product with a higher declared number of cultures or a formula designed for a different purpose, a better choice would be another item from the same brand. Also consider the storage conditions: the manufacturer indicates a cool and dry place, away from direct light, so the shelf above the kettle is not suitable. The manufacturer does not direct the product to children, and pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer declares 35 billion CFU in one capsule, distributed among ten strains. Five of them contribute 4.3 billion CFU each, three contribute 3.3 billion CFU, Limosilactobacillus fermentum LF61 contributes 3 billion CFU, and the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii SB01 contributes 0.6 billion CFU. All these values refer to one capsule, that is, to the entire daily portion.<\/p>\n
Yes. The coating is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is a plant-based material, not gelatin. The manufacturer describes it directly as vegetarian and also declares that the product does not contain lactose. Check the gluten-free status and the full allergen declaration on the package before first use - in the case of celiac disease and food allergies, the label is definitive.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer recommends one capsule daily on an empty stomach, taken with water. This deviates from the recommendations you will find on many other probiotics, where a meal is suggested. Stick to the scheme from this product's card, and set hot drinks aside for a few minutes - high temperatures are not suitable for live cultures. Choose a time of day that you can realistically maintain for the entire month.<\/p>\n
For a month. The packaging contains 30 capsules, and the daily portion is 1 capsule, so one box covers a full month without splitting the dose or recalculating. The product is sold only in this one size, so if you plan to use it for a longer period, simply count the packages in months.<\/p>\n
The preparation is sold in one packaging size, in capsules. Alongside it in the offer are the probiotic Ultrabiotic Forte and the probiotic Reconstruction - each with its own composition, meaning a separate formulation, not a variant of the same. The name \"Positive Thoughts\" is also used for a herbal preparation in drops with adaptogens, built quite differently. You can find all of them in the category Supplements<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the blog, we explain, how a psychobiotic differs from a regular probiotic<\/a>, opisujemy, what is known about the gut-brain axis<\/a>, a osobno podpowiadamy, how to read strains on the label<\/a>.<\/p>\n The product is intended for adults. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use, as should individuals taking medications regularly. Do not use if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients. During antibiotic therapy, maintain a gap between the medication and the capsule and establish the order with your doctor or pharmacist. Store the package in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of small children.<\/p>\n Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The dietary supplement cannot be used as a substitute for a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n Not sure if this product is right for you?
