Synbiotic Capsules · 10 Probiotic Strains + Botanical Blend · 60 Capsules BiOptimizers Cognibiotics® A vegetable-cellulose capsule supplement combining 10 probiotic bacterial strains (30 billion CFU per serving), two prebiotic fibres (Inulin and Xylooligosaccharides), and a 17-ingredient botanical blend drawn from traditional Chinese herbal preparations. 60 capsules per bottle · 30 servings (2 capsules per serve) · Vegan capsule shell. What This Product Is Cognibiotics is a synbiotic supplement — a formulation combining probiotics (live bacterial cultures) with prebiotics (fermentable fibres that serve as food for gut bacteria) — alongside a blend of botanical ingredients drawn from traditional Chinese herbal preparations. The formulation contains three ingredient categories: 10 probiotic strains from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera, delivering 30 billion CFU per serving 2 prebiotic fibres: Inulin and Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) 17-ingredient botanical blend derived from traditional Chinese herbal preparations The capsule shell is vegetable cellulose (hypromellose). The product is a shelf-stable capsule — refrigeration is not required. The 10 Probiotic Strains The probiotic component contains 10 strains across two well-characterised bacterial genera: Genus About the Genus Lactobacillus Lactic acid-producing bacteria naturally found in fermented foods such as yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and pickled vegetables. Among the most extensively-studied probiotic genera in scientific literature. Bifidobacterium Bacteria naturally present in the human gastrointestinal tract from infancy onwards. Also found in some fermented dairy products. Total CFU per serving: 30 billion across the 10 strains. Refer to the Supplement Facts panel on the product label for the complete strain list and per-strain CFU breakdown. The Prebiotic Component Two prebiotic fibres are included in the formulation: Inulin A soluble prebiotic fibre naturally found in chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke, garlic, onions, leeks, and asparagus. Widely used as a food ingredient. Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) Short chains of xylose molecules, a soluble prebiotic fibre derived from corn cob or other plant sources. A recognised food ingredient with growing use in supplement formulations. The Botanical Blend The formulation includes a 17-ingredient blend of botanical ingredients drawn from traditional Chinese herbal preparations. These botanicals have long histories of use as culinary and dietary ingredients in East Asian food traditions. Refer to the Supplement Facts panel on the product label for the complete botanical ingredient list.

Keep tightly closed after opening. Directions for Use Take 2 capsules daily on an empty stomach upon waking, or as recommended by a qualified healthcare practitioner. With food alternative: If you experience stomach discomfort when taking on an empty stomach, the capsules can also be taken with meals. If taking antibiotics: Separate the probiotic capsules from antibiotic doses by at least one hour, as antibiotics can affect probiotic bacterial viability. Refer to the product label for full directions. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Good to Know What is a synbiotic? A synbiotic is a product that combines a probiotic (live bacterial cultures) with a prebiotic (a fermentable fibre substrate that certain gut bacteria consume). The term combines "synergistic" and "biotic" and is the established scientific category for prebiotic-plus-probiotic combinations. What does CFU mean? CFU stands for Colony-Forming Units — the standard measure of viable (live) bacteria in a probiotic product. 30 billion CFU means there are approximately 30 billion live bacterial cells per serving capable of forming colonies if cultured. Does this need refrigeration? No. The formulation is designed to be shelf-stable at room temperature. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Refrigeration is optional and may extend probiotic viability but is not required. Why take on an empty stomach? Taking probiotic capsules on an empty stomach minimises their exposure to stomach acid and digestive enzymes, which can affect bacterial viability. When food is present, the stomach produces higher amounts of acid and enzymes. That said, if empty-stomach dosing causes discomfort, taking with food remains an option. Is this product vegan? The capsule shell is vegetable cellulose (plant-derived). The probiotic strains are typically cultured on standard fermentation media. Some probiotic strains may be cultured on dairy-derived media — refer to the product label for vegan certification status. Is this product suitable for children? No. This product is formulated as an adult dietary supplement. It is not intended for use in infants, toddlers, or children. Does this product interact with medications?
