Frequently Asked Questions

Personalized products are primarily intended for intervention, not long-term use. They serve as a specific product addressing an individual’s problems and symptoms.
Probiotics come in powder form. It uses a unique Probioact® technology that can be stored at room temperature (no refrigeration needed), resists digestive juices and stomach pH, and ensures that bacteria fully revive and act at the targeted site. Additionally, it effectively combines probiotic and prebiotic components – making it a truly unique mix weighing up to 1.2kg.
In the formulation, not only probiotic strains are personalized, but the pharmacist also mixes suitable types of fiber and supportive substances into each mix. This creates a stronger environment in the gut.
The daily dose of iProbio 2.0 starts at 5g, continues with 10g, and ends with 15g for adults. For children aged 3 to 12, half the dose applies, allowing the mix to last more than 3 months. Such amounts cannot be filled into a capsule. Personalized iProbio probiotics are still a dietary supplement, even though they are uniquely personalized and contain higher doses. It is, however, important to consider when their use is appropriate and when it is better to opt for products targeted at specific problems.
- In case of SIBO, active phase of IBD, or allergy to corn starch: the product is rather not recommended.
- IBD in remission: use may be appropriate.

For the production of personalized iProbio probiotics, we need:
- Client anamnesis – filled out via an online questionnaire, which provides us with detailed information about the client's health status, lifestyle, and specific issues.
- Gut microbiome analysis results – this analysis is included in the product price and provides the basis for personalization.
iProbio personalization does not just supplement missing bacteria and does not directly aim to change the overall microbiome composition. It is a comprehensive solution to problems that focuses on results and effect, i.e., subjective improvement of the client's health condition.

After completing your personalized iProbio 2.0 probiotics and prebiotics course, the decision about the next steps is always in your hands.
Every microbiome is unique, and its current state after the course may vary – therefore, it is important to choose the continuation that best suits your body, lifestyle, and goals.
Options for the next steps:
1. Continuing the personalized course (without a new analysis). If you are satisfied with the course and want to continue without a new analysis, this is possible. Please contact us by email. After payment of the order (€690), we will submit the same formula for production. Production takes approximately 4 weeks from the date of payment.
2. Switching to the targeted iProbio range. If you want to continue caring for your microbiome without personalization, we recommend switching to standardized probiotics and prebiotics from the targeted iProbio range, designed for various needs.
3. Taking only prebiotics. If you have adopted proper habits and your gut microbiota is stabilized, you can continue with prebiotics only – providing nutrition for your own beneficial bacteria helps maintain gut balance.
4. Pause or complete discontinuation. Some clients decide to take a break or stop probiotics and prebiotics entirely after the course. In this case, it is crucial to focus on proper diet and lifestyle adjustments to maintain positive changes in your microbiome as long as possible.
An important recommendation is that whatever option you choose, we always advise: continue a balanced, microbiome-friendly diet (rich in fiber, plant-based foods, fermented products), ideally a Mediterranean diet, minimize stress, alcohol, and processed foods, and pay attention to regular exercise, sleep, and overall lifestyle, which significantly impact gut health and influence the microbiome.
If you need advice on selecting the most suitable option, do not hesitate to contact us on our helpline.

Histamine intolerance is a diagnosis that people often turn to us with.
Histamine intolerance is an imbalance between histamine intake and the body’s ability to break it down. This means that you are unable to degrade as much histamine as you ingest and produce. In histamine intolerance, it is important to choose the right types of probiotics, as some may increase histamine levels. Our probiotics do not increase histamine and are therefore suitable for people with this diagnosis. An imbalance in gut bacteria may contribute to elevated histamine levels. Appropriate probiotics can help restore balance and reduce inflammatory reactions in the gut. Probiotics also help alleviate intestinal inflammation, which may affect histamine degradation. Proper probiotic strains can directly or indirectly improve histamine processing. Probiotics and prebiotics are not intended to treat histamine intolerance, and they also work on a different principle than enzymes. They serve only as supportive therapy in managing symptoms that may be associated with it. These are also long-term changes.
From our portfolio, we would choose a combination of probiotics and prebiotics. If the intolerance manifests as functional digestive disorders, we recommend the HIT na trávenie+® probiotics. If the symptoms are skin-related, then ALLERGIC+®. The prebiotic Mikrobióm+® is suitable to be added to both probiotics. It primarily helps with regeneration of the intestinal barrier and intestinal lining, supports colonization of the gut microbiome with butyrate-producing bacteria, has anti-inflammatory properties, and also serves as an antioxidant.

Most of our targeted products are suitable for children from 3 years old. If children cannot swallow the capsule, parents can simply pour out the contents.
Products VITALbiom+®, SPORTbiom+® and LADYbiom+® are suitable from 12 years old.
The product HIT for Digestion+® contains omega-3, so it may have a slight fishy taste.Personalized products are also suitable from 3 years old.

Probiotics themselves do not cause weight gain or weight loss. There is no direct mechanism by which probiotics would lead to weight change.
However, some studies suggest that improving gut microbiota can influence appetite and metabolic processes.
- In some people, restoring the balance of gut microbiota reduces cravings for sweets and processed foods, which can indirectly support weight loss.
- On the other hand, in people with disrupted microbiota or after long-term food restriction, appetite may return, which can lead to increased energy intake.
Probiotics primarily do not directly affect weight, but they can help establish a healthy gut microbiota, which may subsequently modify appetite and eating habits.

HIT na Trávenie+®. It is necessary to maintain a time gap of at least 2 hours.

Probiotics and prebiotics can help in diverticulitis. Probiotics may support the balance of the gut microbiota and reduce inflammation in the intestine, potentially lowering the risk of recurrence. Prebiotics, on the other hand, serve as food for beneficial bacteria and improve bowel regularity, which can reduce the formation of new diverticula and support recovery after acute inflammation. However, it is important to know that during acute diverticulitis, fiber and prebiotics are usually introduced only after the inflammation has subsided to avoid worsening pain or bloating.
From our portfolio, we would choose a combination of probiotics and prebiotics. The combination of probiotics and prebiotics has a positive effect on digestive tract health and the overall well-being of the microbiome. Mikrobióm+® is a prebiotic, specifically a flavobiotic (i.e., a combination of flavonoids with a proven beneficial effect on the gut microbiome). It primarily helps in the regeneration of the intestinal barrier, the intestinal wall, and the colonization of the gut microbiome with butyrate-producing bacteria, has anti-inflammatory properties, and also acts as an antioxidant.
The dietary supplement HIT na Trávenie+® is a targeted probiotic that supports your digestion. It is a targeted combination of 5 immunomodulatory probiotic strains and OMEGA3 fatty acids. The probiotic bacterial strains in this product have been carefully selected based on their scientifically proven positive effects in managing the symptoms of functional digestive disorders.
It is important to remember that probiotics and prebiotics are only supportive therapy for managing symptoms related to the diagnosis. They are not intended as primary treatment, and their effect is always individual.

SIBO is a condition characterized by excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine. Probiotics have been studied for their potential role in treating various digestive disorders, including SIBO. However, when it comes to SIBO, the use of probiotics is somewhat more complicated, as it is highly individual. Probiotics for SIBO depend greatly on personal circumstances—what works for one person may not work for another.
Based on studies, HIT na Trávenie+® has a positive effect on alleviating symptoms and managing SIBO. We also have clients who are satisfied with this product for this diagnosis. However, as mentioned, probiotic tolerance is individual.
Mikrobióm+® serves as food for beneficial bacteria found in the large intestine, not the small intestine, and therefore this product is suitable for SIBO. Mikrobióm+® is a flavobiotic—a combination of flavonoids with a proven beneficial effect on the gut microbiome. It is primarily intended for regenerating the intestinal barrier, intestinal wall, and colonization of the gut microbiome by butyrate-producing bacteria, which cannot be produced as a conventional probiotic supplement. This product is suitable for SIBO.

Our probiotics do not need to be stored in the refrigerator. For long-term storage, we recommend a temperature of up to 25 °C, but short-term exposure to higher temperatures (above 30 °C) or very low temperatures (-20 °C) during transport is not a problem. During extreme temperature fluctuations, we recommend picking them up from the boxes as soon as possible.
The products are packed in special containers that ensure their stability at both higher and lower temperatures and protect the contents from moisture.
In the case of ALLERGIC+® or personalized courses, the probiotics are additionally treated with the special Probioact® technology, which guarantees their safety and efficacy throughout the entire transport process.
