Changes in the microbiome can cause additional gas as your body adapts, which may rarely lead to some temporary diarrhea. If your stomach’s typically a little on the sensitive side, we recommend starting with a small dose and working your way up!

Nope. In order to avoid the microbes going dormant, you'll definitely want to keep your Rawbiotics™ at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.

Since every body is different, consider yours. Each person’s make-up consists of a unique ratio of microbes in the digestive tract. Rawbiotics™ contains a high concentration of antioxidants, as well as active beneficial bacteria, so if your immune/digestive system is compromised, start on a lower dosage to avoid sudden changes to the system. For adults, go with 1 tablespoon (15ml) a day. For kids under two years old, 1 teaspoon (5ml) is best to start with. Increase slowly and remember to listen to your body.

Rawbiotics™ can be taken at any time, with or without meals.

It’s less about the number of microbes and more about the number of microbial species that sets Rawbiotics™ apart.

Lactic acid bacteria are the most predominant bacteria in the GI tract, but they can’t establish themselves without the natural symbioses they share with other types of microbes. In the natural world, various bacteria rely on one another for growth, stability, and harmony. Take, for example, the diversity of microbial life in soils and plants.

Unlike the limited scope of strains contained in most freeze-dried probiotics, Rawbiotics™ mirrors the natural range of microbes found in soils and foods more closely. It’s the combination of these species which make Rawbiotics™ unique, comprehensive, and successful.

Yes. The gastro-intestinal tract’s healthy function relies on the presence of beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria aid in digestion, correct pH balance (acidity), the processing of nutrients and the prevention of the build-up of harmful bacteria. Beneficial bacteria don’t interfere with medication. In fact, these bacteria can be killed off by the toxins in medications such as antibiotics, compromising the immune system. Taking Rawbiotics™ helps protect the body from these effects.

Rawbiotics™ KIDS can be given to your children from newborn age, starting with a small dose of 1ml per day and increasing gradually to 5ml at age 6, and eventually to 15ml for 6+.

Yes, you can substitute pharmaceutical products with the same dosage of our probiotic.

Yes! It’s totally natural and safe to take.

100%. Rawbiotics™ are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. We don't use any animal-derived products in the culturing or production whatsoever..

Yes. A very small amount of sugar goes into the product during the manufacturing process and is used as food for the beneficial bacteria during the fermentation. By the time the product has fermented there is even less sugar left. Our lab testing shows the following nutritional analysis as:

Carbohydrates: Less than 1g/100ml

Of which total sugar: Less than 0.1g/100ml

That's the natural yeast which forms when the product is exposed to oxygen. To minimize this, don’t shake the bottle once the seal is broken. However, it’s totally normal for this to occur.

Since this is a “live” microbial product, keeping oxygen levels as low as possible helps maintain nutritional value.

An "off" smell will make it pretty clear. Rawbiotics™ has a 2-year shelf life unopened, and a 6-8-week shelf life once you’ve opened the bottle, so you can also use that as a guide.

Those who have a weakened immune system or those wanting additional immune support during times of illness or the flu season.
