Travellers seeking advanced probiotic support in foreign environments (e.g India, Egypt and Mexico).
5 billion live probiotic cultures, guaranteed until end of expiry.
This supplement contains 4 high quality probiotic strains, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52, designed to support your digestive health and immunity whilst travelling abroad.
When eating and drinking different foods in unfamiliar environments it can be extremely beneficial to have a healthy coating of probiotic bacteria in the intestines, in order to naturally support your immunity and digestion. OptiBac Probiotics For travelling abroad helps you to maintain levels or friendly bacteria - giving travellers the increased confidence to enjoy their holidays anxiety-free.
Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 is a natural resident of the intestinal microflora; this strain of acidophilus has been well studied to survive your stomach acidity and biliary salts; and to travel to the intestines without damage. L. acidophilus Rosell-52 will adhere to the cell wall lining of the intestines and inhibit intestinal pathogens, support immune cells, and provide a protective barrier against foreign microbes.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a unique probiotic yeast sold widely across Europe, especially in France and Germany. S. boulardii CNCM-I-1079 has undergone extensive scientific research documenting its safety, and ability to flush out pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella (responsible for 70% of Traveller's Diarrhoea) in order to maintain normal digestive health during travels.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 is a natural component of the intestinal friendly bacteria; the rhamnosus species is one of the most studied in the probiotic world. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 has been proven to resist bile and gastric acidity over pH 3 - therefore if taken at mealtimes (when pH is around 4), it will pass through the stomach without being damaged. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 is able to bind strongly to the intestinal cells and helps you maintain a strong immune system.
Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175 colonises primarily in the large intestine or colon. Here it promotes the production of antibodies, supports the body against toxins and inhibits the development of undesirable bacteria by competitively excluding their attachment to the intestinal wall lining.

"Having done the research I purchased enough Optibac travel for my 5 weeks backpacking around India. Having read the obvious warnings about Delhi belly, I did not want my experience spoiling, especially as I would be doing allot of travelling around on buses with no facilities. !! During the 5 weeks I did not experience any misfortunes of any type and put this down to the excellent travel pro-biotics. I only ate food from the street stalls and those cooked on the side of the pavement, so to have no ill effects was a real bonus. In fact I did not meet anyone who did not have some sort of stomach upset. To say I promoted Optibac to fellow travellers and my UK based friends is an understatement. I would 100% recommend this product for people travelling. "
"Took these whilst in Colombia for a month, suffered stomach issues on virtually all previous holidays, but was totally fine with these, we're labelled Travla but I believe are the same. Off to Egypt soon and will def be taking these with me."
Many thanks Richard. Travla was the old product name before we switched from DTECTA to OptiBac. Have a fantastic time in Egypt!
