SiS Biotic Complex | 5 bacterial strains | 30 capsules

SiS Biotic Complex Capsules

SiS probiotic capsules provide 42 billion live bacterial cultures per capsule, across five strains. You take one a day and a pot lasts a month. This product is intended for athletes and people with busy, active lives who want to simply supplement their daily routine. The capsule is vegetarian and each batch goes through the Informed Sport laboratory.

What are the five strains present?

The formula is called an Acidophilus & Bifidus complex and combines two bacterial genera. From the Bifidobacterium family, these are Bifidobacterium lactis (BL-G101) and Bifidobacterium bifidum (BB-G90). From the Lactobacillus family, these are Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA-G80), Lactobacillus paracasei (LPc-G110) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lr-G14). These codes after each name are not a coincidence. They designate the exact strain, and that is precisely what matters with bacterial cultures: not “an” acidophilus, but this particular one. Many stores only mention the species and omit the strain code. We include the full list, down to the number of cells per strain in the table below.

What 42 billion CFU means

CFU stands for colony-forming units, which is the number of live cells capable of multiplying. For bacterial cultures, there is no regulated daily quantity, so there is no fixed "recommendation". What matters: 42 billion per capsule is at the high end of what is found in this type of product, where many competitors are between 1 and 20 billion. Good to know: more strains or a higher number is not automatically better. What matters is which strains, in what quantities, and whether these cells are still alive at the time of consumption. Hence this detail that many brands omit: the 42 billion are guaranteed until the end of the shelf life, and not just on the day of production. Bacterial cultures slowly die during storage, so this distinction determines what you actually receive.

Why we don't write what it "does"

Perhaps you are expecting a list of benefits for your intestines or your immunity here. We remain voluntarily brief: for bacterial cultures, there are no EU-approved health claims. Stores that write that probiotics "rebalance your gut flora" or "boost your immunity" are making claims that are not legally allowed. What we can tell you is what the strains are and how they work: lactic acid bacteria pass through your stomach, reach your intestine and transform nutrients into lactic acid, among other things. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium each do it a little differently, which means they complement each other. If you have any questions about the mode of action, our customer service will be happy to help you.

One capsule, vegan, and batch-tested

SiS has each production batch checked via Informed Sport, the independent program of the LGC laboratory that searches for substances on the WADA prohibited list. For competitive athletes, this makes a difference: a supplement with this control can be taken with peace of mind, even during anti-doping controls. The capsule wall is plant-based (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), so these probiotic capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. And taking them is simple: one capsule per day with water, at a fixed time that is easy to stick to. For bacterial cultures, regularity is more important than the time of day, as most strains pass through your intestine rather than settling there permanently.

In short: these probiotic capsules provide five coded strains, a high dose of cells guaranteed to the end, vegan and laboratory-tested. One capsule a day, one month per pot.
