Metagenics Probioplex Intensive Care Prebiotic Powder with Lactoferrin & Lactoperoxidase, 150 g

Why Your Gut Needs Prebiotics

Prebiotics are non-digestible fibres that act as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping them thrive. A balanced gut microbiome is essential for digestive comfort and overall wellbeing. Metagenics Probioplex Intensive Care delivers a unique blend of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) alongside active proteins such as lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase. This combination works to nourish your gut environment and promote a healthy digestive system.*

Key Benefits of Prebiotics

By feeding the good bacteria, prebiotics like FOS contribute to normal bowel function and help maintain regularity. They also support the production of short-chain fatty acids, which are vital for the health of the intestinal lining. The inclusion of lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase in Probioplex provides additional support for a healthy gut environment.* This synergistic formula can help reduce occasional bloating and improve nutrient absorption, ensuring your body gets the most from your diet.

What Makes Probioplex Different?

With over 40 years of expertise, Metagenics is a trusted name in nutritional supplements. Probioplex is manufactured in a cGMP-certified facility and is non-GM, gluten-free, and third-party tested for purity. What sets it apart is the inclusion of lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and immunoglobulins – proteins that offer additional support for gut and immune function. This powder is easy to mix into water or juice, making it a convenient addition to your daily routine.

Prebiotics and Probiotics: Complementary Roles

Probiotics are live microorganisms that add to the population of good bacteria in your gut, whereas prebiotics act as fertiliser for the bacteria already present. While probiotics introduce new strains, prebiotics help your existing bacteria flourish. Probioplex is a prebiotic supplement – it does not contain live bacteria but provides the fuel your microbiome needs. Many people combine prebiotics with probiotics for comprehensive digestive support, but each plays a distinct part.

How to Take Probioplex

Mix one scoop (provided) with water or juice once daily, or as directed by your health care practitioner. Each 150 g container provides approximately 30 servings. If you are new to prebiotics, start with a small amount and gradually increase to minimise any temporary digestive discomfort.

Safety and Suitability

Prebiotics are generally well tolerated, whilst some individuals may experience mild gas or bloating when first starting. This usually resolves within a few days. Probioplex is suitable for adults and can be used daily. If you have a medical condition or are taking medication, please consult your doctor before uses. This product is not suitable for vegans as it contains lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase from bovine sources.
