Probiotic + Metabolism Strips 10 Billion CFU Bifidobacterium lactis Per Serving - 30 Servings, Gluten Free & Lactose Free

Cut what you eat and you cut what your gut eats too. Fibre and food volume are what the bacteria in your large intestine live on, and when the plate gets smaller their supply gets smaller with it.

It shows up in ordinary ways. Things slow down. You go less often and less predictably, and your stomach turns into something you plan around instead of something you forget about.

What is in a strip, and what each part is for:

• Bifidobacterium lactis, 10 billion CFU – one of the most studied probiotic species in human research, and a member of the genus that thins out with age and with a smaller food supply. It is here to support the balance of bacteria your digestion already runs on
• Polydextrose, 50 mg – a prebiotic fibre, printed on the label with its own amount and included alongside the culture. The dose question is answered in full further down this page
• Mixed berry, sweetened without sugar – monk fruit extract and steviol glycosides do the sweetening, so nothing here adds to the count you are already keeping

COMPASS Probiotic + Metabolism Strips is one strip a day, any time, up to a maximum of one. Thirty to a tin. What you get for that:

• Daily support for the balance of bacteria your digestion runs on
• A species studied for digestive regularity, taken on a schedule rather than in a crisis
• Nothing sweetened with sugar and nothing stimulating, on a day you are already counting

🕐 The first fortnight is the honest window

Probiotic research runs on weeks rather than days. The trial work on this species measured across two to eight weeks of daily use, and people who describe a change almost always place it somewhere in that stretch rather than in the first few mornings.

🌊 It can be busier before it is quieter

Some people notice a little more going on in the first week while the balance shifts. It usually settles. It is also the single most common reason a probiotic gets abandoned on day five, which is worth knowing before it happens rather than after.

🔁 It works while you take it

A probiotic is a population rather than a repair. What you take today has largely moved on within a week or two of stopping. That is how the whole category works, and it is why one strip every day beats a big dose taken now and then.

🙋 Two people, two different fortnights

Your gut already holds a population and it is not the same as anyone else's. The same strip on the same schedule can read differently to two people, which is why this is worth judging on your own six weeks rather than on somebody else's first one.

This is a category that oversells, so here is where this product actually sits.

• On the word Metabolism in the name – it is printed on the label, so it stays on the listing. There are two actives in this product, a probiotic culture and a prebiotic fibre, and neither of them is a metabolism ingredient. This page makes no claim about metabolism, weight or appetite, and you should not read one into the name
• On the fibre, plainly – the research behind prebiotic fibre uses several grams a day. There are 50 mg of polydextrose in a strip. It sits alongside the culture, its amount is printed, and it is not doing the job a fibre supplement does. We would rather say that once, clearly, than let the word prebiotic carry more weight than it can
• On the culture – 10 billion CFU is a mainstream daily amount for this species. Published trials on Bifidobacterium lactis have found effects across a wide range of counts, and this one sits comfortably inside it rather than chasing the biggest number on the shelf
• It is not a medicine – nothing here diagnoses, treats or cures anything. If something about your digestion has changed in a way that worries you, that is a conversation for your doctor rather than for a tin of strips
• It does not replace anything you have been prescribed – if you are on a weight-management medication this sits alongside it and changes nothing about it. Tell your prescriber you have started it, the way you would with anything else

What is left is one studied species at a normal daily amount, in a strip you will still be taking in three months.

This was made for people eating a good deal less than they used to, who have noticed their digestion did not keep up.

It's especially for you if:

• Your appetite dropped and your digestion quietly went with it
• You go less often than you used to, and you have started noticing exactly when
• There is a probiotic bottle in a cupboard somewhere that you took for six days
• You would rather have one species with its amount printed than twelve names and a blend total
• You are already taking enough things, and you want the next one to have a single job you can name

One species with its amount printed, 30 strips to a tin, one a day. Gluten free, lactose free, hormone free, antibiotic free, alcohol free and cruelty free. Made in India.

Chances are, this is the probiotic you have been looking for.

It is not for you if you are pregnant or nursing, under 18, or living with a condition that affects your immune system. In that last case speak to your doctor before starting any probiotic.
