Key facts

Who it is for

• Adults with general digestive discomfort — bloating, irregular bowel habit, sluggish digestion — who want a multi-strain probiotic with added prebiotic and postbiotic ingredients
• Adults whose diet is low in fermented foods and who want a structured one-month routine in sachet form
• Adults interested in formulas that combine probiotics with L-glutamine and bromelain rather than probiotics alone
• People taking a probiotic course around travel, dietary change, or after a course of antibiotics

Not suitable for: children; people with a known allergy to any listed ingredient, including pineapple-derived bromelain; severely immunocompromised individuals without medical supervision. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your pharmacist or GP before starting.

How to use

1. Open one sachet and stir the contents into a small glass of cool water, juice or yoghurt at room temperature. Do not mix with hot drinks.
2. Take one sachet daily, ideally at the same time each day. Morning before breakfast suits many people.
3. Continue for the full 30-day pack to give the live cultures time to establish.
4. You can repeat a 30-day course as part of a quarterly routine, or as advised by your pharmacist.
5. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose stated on the carton.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 15 billion CFU figure mean?

CFU stands for "colony-forming units" and is the standard count for live cultures in a probiotic product. Life's Flora Great Barrier delivers 15 billion CFU per sachet at the end-of-shelf-life standard, spread across 25 named strains.

Why does this product include L-glutamine and bromelain?

L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the blood and is commonly used in gut-wellness formulas as a substrate for intestinal cells. Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme from pineapple. Under UK food supplement law no functional health claim is made for either ingredient on this page; they are present as part of the broader formulation.

How is "Great Barrier" different from the "Mucosal Barriers Restore PLUS" variant?

Great Barrier is the original 30-sachet formulation focused on a wide adult digestive-wellness use case, with 25 strains plus Totipro postbiotic, L-glutamine, vitamin U and bromelain. The PLUS variant is supplied in a 28-sachet pack with a different SKU positioning. Both deliver 15 billion CFU per sachet.

Can I take this during pregnancy?

The carton states that pregnant women with digestive sensitivity may use it after consulting a healthcare professional. Always speak to your pharmacist, midwife or GP before starting any new supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Do the sachets need refrigeration?

No. The sachets are shelf-stable at room temperature when kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Check the carton for any specific storage instruction from the manufacturer.
