Biogaia is primarily used to support gastrointestinal health, including management of infant colic, reduction of excessive gas and bloating, and general digestive discomfort. It may also be used to help restore healthy gut bacteria balance during or after antibiotic use.
Biogaia contains live beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis) that colonize the gut and help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota. These beneficial bacteria may help crowd out harmful bacteria and support normal digestive function.
As a probiotic supplement, Biogaia is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. However, individuals with compromised immune systems, serious underlying conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare provider before use. It should not be used as a substitute for prescribed medications without medical guidance.
