Probiotics & Prebiotics
ACTILIFE H.PYLORI DEFENSE,15’S CAPSULES
KShs 1,250.00Actilife H.Pylori Defense is the H pylori probiotic people take alongside a prescribed eradication course, to make a week or two of strong antibiotics easier to tolerate when nausea and loose stools would otherwise end the course early. One capsule daily gives 60 billion live organisms from twelve strains, and fifteen capsules covers even a fourteen-day course. Clearing this infection takes prescription antibiotics and an acid-reducing medicine, so please see our doctor for the test first.
ACTILIFE WOMEN’S FLORA, 15’S CAPSULES
KShs 1,497.00Actilife Women’s Flora is the probiotic for women people take for intimate comfort and vaginal flora balance, usually after a bout of thrush, after a course of antibiotics, or when the same irritation keeps returning. Thirteen strains give 30 billion live organisms, with 150 mg of cranberry extract and 300 mg of D-mannose in the same capsule, one a day with breakfast. Thrush, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis each need a different prescription treatment, so please see our doctor first.

BioGaia Protectis Baby Drops
Original price was: KShs 2,275.00.KShs 2,161.00Current price is: KShs 2,161.00.BioGaia Protectis Baby Drops are the baby probiotic parents reach for when a newborn cries inconsolably through the evenings, with an unsettled stomach and nothing seeming to help, at five drops a day. They carry Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, one of the few strains studied specifically in babies, and they need no fridge. Some crying means something else, so please bring your baby to our doctor first if there is fever, poor feeding or blood in the nappies.
Entero Pro Suspension
KShs 850.00Entero Pro Suspension is the liquid probiotic families reach for when loose stools and an unsettled stomach follow a bout of diarrhoea or a course of antibiotics, and it comes ready-mixed rather than as a capsule, which is why it suits a child. If the patient is a child, fluid comes first: ask us for oral rehydration salts and zinc in the same bag. No health claim for any probiotic is authorised, so please speak to our pharmacist about what it can and cannot do.
Enterogermina Probiotic 10’s
KShs 1,200.00Enterogermina is the probiotic people take for loose stools and the unsettled gut that follows a course of antibiotics or a bout of diarrhoea, swallowed straight from the vial. Each vial carries 2 billion spores of Bacillus clausii and a pack holds 10, with no refrigeration needed because the spore form survives a hot cupboard. The daily dose is not printed on the information we hold, so please ask our pharmacist and we will work it out with you.
Flora Norm Sachets 10’s
KShs 1,300.00Flora Norm Sachets give you Saccharomyces boulardii, taken for loose stools and the unsettled gut that follows a course of antibiotics or a bout of diarrhoea, dissolved one sachet at a time in a glass of water. It is a yeast rather than a bacterium, which is why it can be taken at the same time as an antibiotic. Anyone with a weakened immune system, a drip or a central line should please see our doctor before taking it rather than buying it.

Original price was: KShs 2,125.00.KShs 2,018.00Current price is: KShs 2,018.00.HN Pro-Daily is the once-a-day probiotic capsule people take for steady gut and digestive comfort rather than only when something has gone wrong. It carries Bacillus coagulans with added prebiotic fibre, 90 capsules to a bottle, dairy-free, and it needs no fridge because the spore form survives a hot Kenyan cupboard. The added fibre can unsettle a sensitive gut, so please ask our pharmacist first if you have IBS.

Natural Factors Low Relieffibre 268Mg
KShs 7,850.00Natural Factors Low ReliefFibre is a low FODMAP fibre people take for regularity, for bloating, and for the awkward problem of following a restricted diet and ending up short of fibre altogether.

Start on half a serving in a full glass of water and build up over two or three weeks, and ask our pharmacist to set a child’s amount.
