**An independent, nationally representative survey conducted in August 2020 of 1,000 British women aged 25-55 who had purchased a probiotic supplement in the last 6 months. Respondents were asked to select the brand they most trust, and the brand they would be most likely to recommend, from the 5 most googled probiotic supplement brands in the UK in July 2020.
For Women can be given to adults and children, from 4 years onwards.
Take 1 capsule daily, preferably with breakfast. If desired, or professionally directed, can be increased to 2 capsules a day.
For those unable to swallow capsules, open and mix contents with cold drink/food.
For Women can safely be taken alongside other supplements in the Optibac range.

Ingredients per capsule: 2.5 billion live cultures
Maltodextrin (natural source); live cultures: (Lactobacillus paracasei F-19®, Lactobacillus reuteri
RC-14®, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1®); vegetarian capsule: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; stabiliser: microcrystalline cellulose; anti-caking agent: vegetable magnesium stearate
Following the taxonomic updates advised by a global team of scientists and published in April 2020, which look more closely at the Lactobacillus genus, a reclassification has been proposed for the L. paracasei, L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri species. The active ingredients in For Women may therefore now also be referred to as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei F-19®, Limosilactobacillus reuteri RC-14® and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GR-1®.
