What is Scitec Nutrition ProB?
Scitec Nutrition ProB is a live bacterial cultures supplement in capsule form. Each capsule contains a total of 10 billion CFU (colony forming units) from four strains of bacteria found in the human gastrointestinal tract: Lactobacillus helveticus Lafti® L10 (3.5 billion CFU), Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (2.5 billion CFU), Bifidobacterium longum Rosell®-175 (2 billion CFU) and Lactobacillus paracasei Lafti® L26 (2 billion CFU). It is enriched with 40mg of vitamin C, which is 50% of the NRV.
The bacteria are part of the Biotiq formula (54.7% of the capsule content), supplied on a potato starch base, with cellulose gel as a bulking agent and a gelatin capsule shell. CFU stands for colony forming units and represents the number of live and active bacteria in the daily serving. One 36-capsule pack provides 36 servings.
What is it used for?
ProB is used to supply live bacterial cultures to the digestive system. Many people think mostly about vitamins and minerals, but Scitec points out that the intestinal flora (the community of bacteria living in the gut) also plays an important role in maintaining health.
The four strains in ProB are bacteria found naturally in the human gut, and they are named down to the strain level on the label. People take this type of supplement as a daily routine to add these bacteria to their diet, for example when their diet is low in fermented foods, during periods of intensive training, or when they are travelling.
Vitamin C is included as well. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (EU-authorised claims).
Four strains. 10 billion CFU. One capsule.

🦠 10 billion CFU of live bacteria per capsule
Each capsule delivers 10 billion CFU, the number of live and active bacteria in the daily serving. The count is declared per capsule on the label.
🧬 Four named strains, identified to the strain level
The formula uses Lactobacillus helveticus Lafti® L10, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium longum Rosell®-175 and Lactobacillus paracasei Lafti® L26. Naming the exact strains, and not just the species, is a sign of a transparent label.
🍊 Vitamin C at 50% of the NRV
Each capsule provides 40mg of vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (EU-authorised claims).
🌿 A simple, plant-based carrier
The bacteria are supplied on a potato starch base with cellulose gel, so the formula has no added flavourings or sweeteners.
📦 36 capsules — 36 servings
At one capsule a day, one pack lasts 36 days, which is a little over 5 weeks.

Best times to enjoy it
🌅 First thing in the morning
The easiest way to take the capsule on an empty stomach is as soon as you get up, with a glass of water and before breakfast.
🌙 At bedtime
The other empty-stomach moment is in the evening, at least a couple of hours after the last meal. Scitec does not set a specific time.
📅 At the same time every day
With a single capsule a day, the best timing is the one you will remember. Taking it at the same moment each day keeps the routine easy.
