What is Bimuno?
Bimuno® is a unique prebiotic supplement that supports a healthy gut environment. It contains galactooligosaccharides (GOS), which are derived from lactose, a natural ingredient in cow’s milk.
What does Bimuno do?
Bimuno is a prebiotic fibre that travels through your digestive system intact, until it reaches the gut. Once there, it feeds and stimulates the growth of good gut bacteria specifically bifidobacteria, helping them thrive and increase their numbers. When taken daily, Bimuno works within just 7 days*.
Is Bimuno a medicine?
No, Bimuno is a prebiotic food supplement that contains fibre and supports a healthy gut environment.
How do I take Bimuno?
Bimuno® DAILY - Take 1 sachet of powder per day, dissolved in tea, coffee, juice or other drink, or sprinkled over food. If you have a sensitive stomach, take 1/2 a sachet for 7-10 days and if well tolerated increase to 1 sachet per day.
Bimuno® IBAID - Take 2 pastilles daily, chewing each one separately and thoroughly before swallowing. For best results, take the two pastilles at the same time of day.
Bimuno® TRAVELAID - Bimuno® TRAVELAID pastilles offer a convenient way of taking Bimuno when travelling. Take 3 pastilles daily at the same time, starting 7 days before you travel and continuing while you are away. For best results, take the 3 pastilles at the same time of day.
When should I take Bimuno?
Bimuno can be taken any time of the day. We recommend taking it at the same time everyday so it easily becomes part of your daily routine.
How often should I take Bimuno?
The majority of our customers take Bimuno everyday as part of their daily routine. Bimuno acts as food for your good gut bacteria, so when you stop taking it, it will stop feeding your good gut bacteria within a few days.
What should I expect when taking Bimuno for the first time?
Day 1-3: When you take Bimuno for the first time, it should take about 3 days to start feeding your good gut bacteria, specifically bifidobacteria.
Days 4-7: You may start to feel some slight gurgling in your tummy. This is a good sign as it means Bimuno is beginning to reset your gut microbiome (the bacteria in your gut).
Days 8-14 and beyond: Bimuno is feeding and nurturing your good gut bacteria. Make Bimuno part of your daily routine and continue to feed your good gut bacteria.
Sensitive stomach? We recommend starting on half a sachet daily for 7-10 days and if well tolerated, increase to a full sachet daily.
Is it safe to take Bimuno long-term?
Yes, Bimuno is designed to take long-term. We recommend you take Bimuno as part of your daily routine, in order to give your good gut bacteria a constant source of food so that it continues to thrive.
