Can I dissolve OMNi-BiOTiC® in water only?
Due to its pH value, water is optimally suited to activate the freeze-dried bacteria. However, milk, yoghurt or tea are also well suited to rehydrate OMNi-BiOTiC®. Please note in general: The liquid in which you dissolve OMNi-BiOTiC®,
- must not be hotter than 40° C
- should not be coffee, alcohol or other liquids with a very acidic pH value (e.g. cola, grapefruit juice, vinegar)
- and should not contain carbonic acid.
How long should one take the recommended OMNi-BiOTiC® product?
To experience noticeable effects, it is recommended to take OMNi-BiOTiC® for at least 1 month or the duration advised by your doctor. However, how long you should take OMNi-BiOTiC® naturally also depends on the condition of your intestines, age and lifestyle. A general "rule of thumb" is: 1 month of OMNi-BiOTiC® for every year you have put your intestines through a lot. If necessary, you can also take OMNi-BiOTiC® indefinitely, because the bacterial strains contained in the products all occur naturally in the human body.
Are OMNi-BiOTiC® products suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
In principle, yes: OMNi-BiOTiC® products all contain no animal protein, only OMNi-BiOTiC® metabolic contains tiny amounts of lactose (corresponding to the lactose content in approx. 4 drops of cow's milk).
Can OMNi-BiOTiC® be taken despite an intolerance (histamine, fructose)?
OMNi-BiOTiC® products contain different dietary fibres that serve as specific food for the bacteria, also e.g. fructooligosaccharides or inulin. These are the natural nutrients of intestinal bacteria, which, however, are only contained in OMNi-BiOTiC® products in minimal quantities (significantly less than is used, for example, in the clinical breath test to provoke a measurable reaction). If the activation time is extended to 30 minutes, the bacteria metabolise their food (= fructooligosaccharides, inulin, etc.) almost completely, so that at most only individual molecules of these substances reach the intestine. The package leaflet shows whether these dietary fibres are contained in the respective OMNi-BiOTiC® product.
The bacteria in OMNi-BiOTiC® are also genetically tested to see whether they would be able to produce histamine. Only strains of bacteria that cannot produce histamine themselves are used for our products, so OMNi-BiOTiC® products can be taken by people with histamine intolerance without hesitation.
Does the intestine first have to get used to the supply of beneficial bacteria?
Depending on how badly your intestinal flora is damaged, this may well be the case. If you are already considerably impaired in your well-being, it is recommended to increase your daily dose slowly over several weeks (starting with a knife tip) in order to prevent flatulence and other digestive problems. However, such complaints only occur in about 5% of users.
Can I take OMNi-BiOTiC® with other food supplements or medicines?
Yes, you can, because OMNi-BiOTiC® products contain only strains of bacteria that occur naturally in the human intestine and no chemical "active ingredients" that can interact with medicines.
Is it possible to combine two OMNi-BiOTiC® products?
Yes, you can take a different OMNi-BiOTiC® in the morning than in the evening, for example, without any problems. You should only avoid dissolving two different OMNi-BiOTiC® products in one glass at the same time, because each combination of bacteria is precisely matched to each other and supplemented with its special "favourite food" in the form of a matrix.
