Product Details

What Are 3B-FLORA Capsules Used For?

3B-FLORA provides a combination of probiotic microorganisms and FOS, a prebiotic ingredient.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that can provide health benefits when administered in adequate amounts. Their effects vary according to the species, strain, dose and clinical indication.

3B-FLORA may be used as part of a healthcare professional’s nutritional or gastrointestinal-support plan for:

1. Gut Microbiota Support

The formulation supplies several microorganisms commonly used in probiotic products, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus and Saccharomyces.

2. Digestive Health Support

Probiotics act primarily within the gastrointestinal tract and can interact with the intestinal microbiota and gut environment.

3. Support During or After Antibiotic Therapy

Certain specific probiotic strains have evidence for reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. However, evidence cannot automatically be transferred from one probiotic strain to another.

Therefore, 3B-FLORA should not be marketed as guaranteed protection against antibiotic-associated diarrhea unless the approved product evidence supports that specific claim.

4. Prebiotic Support

FOS is a prebiotic carbohydrate that can be utilized by microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract. Prebiotics are intended to influence the composition or activity of the gut microbiota.

How 3B-FLORA Capsules Work

Lactobacillus acidophilus

L. acidophilus is a commonly used probiotic microorganism. Probiotic microorganisms can interact with the intestinal environment and contribute to the microbial ecosystem.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus

L. rhamnosus is another commonly used probiotic species. However, its effects depend on the particular strain and dose.

Bifidobacterium longum

B. longum belongs to the Bifidobacterium group commonly used in probiotic formulations and contributes to the microbial diversity of the gastrointestinal tract.

Bifidobacterium bifidum

B. bifidum is another Bifidobacterium species used in probiotic products.

Saccharomyces boulardii

S. boulardii is a probiotic yeast rather than a bacterium. Certain preparations of S. boulardii have been studied for gastrointestinal applications, including antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

Streptococcus thermophilus

S. thermophilus is a microorganism commonly used in fermented dairy products and some probiotic formulations.

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)

FOS is a prebiotic ingredient. It can serve as a substrate for intestinal microorganisms and may influence the gut microbial environment.

Prebiotic + Probiotic Combination

The combination of probiotics and FOS is commonly described as a synbiotic-type approach, because the prebiotic component can provide a substrate for microorganisms in the gastrointestinal environment.

The important distinction is that the clinical effect of a probiotic product depends on the actual organisms, strains, dose and indication rather than simply the total number of CFU. NIH guidance specifically notes that a higher CFU count does not necessarily mean a probiotic product is more effective.

Benefits of 3B-FLORA Capsules

The formulation can provide:

• Multi-strain probiotic supplementation
• 2.5 billion CFU based on the listed amounts
• Six listed probiotic microorganisms
• 100 mg FOS per capsule
• Combination of bacterial and yeast probiotics
• Prebiotic support
• Convenient capsule dosage form
• ALU-ALU packaging

Important claim limitation

For your website, I recommend using:

“Supports healthy gut microbiota”
“Provides probiotic and prebiotic supplementation”
“Supports digestive wellness”

rather than making broad claims such as:

❌ “Cures diarrhea”
❌ “Cures IBS”
❌ “Treats constipation”
❌ “Prevents all antibiotic-associated diarrhea”
❌ “Boosts immunity”

Probiotic benefits are strain-specific, and evidence for one strain cannot automatically be applied to another strain or multi-strain product.

Suggested Dosage & Administration

Use 3B-FLORA Capsules according to the recommendation of a doctor, pharmacist or healthcare professional.

General administration:

1. Swallow the capsule with water.
2. Do not crush or open the capsule unless specifically instructed.
3. Follow the recommended frequency and duration.
4. Do not exceed the recommended amount.
5. Follow any special storage instructions printed on the product label.

Important: The supplied artwork does not state a recommended daily dosage. Therefore, I would not put “1 capsule daily” on your website unless that dosage appears in your approved product information.

Possible Side Effects

Probiotics are generally well tolerated by healthy people, but mild gastrointestinal effects can occur.

Possible effects include:

• Gas
• Bloating
• Abdominal discomfort
• Temporary changes in bowel habits
• Nausea

NIH notes that minor gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas are among the more common effects reported with probiotics.

If symptoms are persistent or significant, consult a healthcare professional.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using 3B-FLORA, consult a healthcare professional if you:

• Have a severely weakened immune system.
• Are seriously ill or hospitalized.
• Have a significant underlying medical condition.
• Have a central venous catheter.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Are giving the product to an infant or medically fragile child.
• Have previously experienced an allergic reaction to probiotic products.

Most probiotics are unlikely to cause harm in healthy individuals, but rare serious infections have been reported, particularly in severely ill or immunocompromised people.

Probiotics During Antibiotic Treatment

3B-FLORA may be considered by a healthcare professional alongside antibiotic therapy when appropriate.

However, do not assume that every probiotic works equally well with every antibiotic. Evidence for preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea is strongest for certain specific strains and products.

If using a probiotic during antibiotic treatment, follow the advice of your doctor or pharmacist regarding timing and duration.

Drug & Supplement Interactions

Probiotic products generally have relatively few conventional drug interactions, but the clinical context matters.

Inform your healthcare professional if you are taking:

• Antibiotics
• Immunosuppressive medicines
• Other probiotic products
• Prebiotic/fiber supplements
• Medicines for chronic gastrointestinal conditions

Patients who are severely immunocompromised or seriously ill should use probiotics only under appropriate professional guidance.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting a probiotic supplement.

The safety profile can vary according to the microorganism, formulation and individual health status.

3B-FLORA Capsules for Children

The appropriate use of probiotics in children depends on the specific strain, dose, age and clinical condition.

Because the supplied product artwork does not provide a pediatric dosage, do not publish a fixed children’s dose unless it is included in your approved product information.

For infants, premature babies or children with significant medical conditions, professional advice is particularly important. NIH notes that probiotics may pose greater risks in certain vulnerable populations.

Storage Instructions

Storage requirements can affect probiotic viability.

• Store according to the conditions specified on the approved product label.
• Protect capsules from excessive heat and moisture.
• Keep the container/blister properly sealed.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use after the expiry date.

NIH guidance specifically recommends checking the product label for probiotic storage requirements because some products require refrigeration while others can be stored at room temperature.

For your final website page, use the exact storage statement from your approved 3B-FLORA artwork/specification.
