FAQs
1. What is Activated Probiotics Biome Derma?
Activated Probiotics Biome Derma is a targeted live bacteria food supplement containing three specifically identified bacterial strains. Each daily capsule provides 2 billion CFU from Lactobacillus salivarius LS03, Bifidobacterium breve BR03 and Lactobacillus casei LC03. It comes in a convenient shelf-stable vegetable capsule that does not require refrigeration.
2. Is Biome Derma a probiotic for skin?
Biome Derma is marketed by the manufacturer as a targeted formulation associated with skin health and is called Biome Acne in some international markets. For an Irish pharmacy product page, however, it is more appropriate to describe it as a food supplement containing specific live bacterial cultures rather than claiming that it treats acne or another skin disorder.
3. Can Biome Derma treat acne?
Biome Derma should not be presented as a medicine or replacement for licensed acne treatment on an Irish food-supplement product page. If you have persistent, moderate-to-severe, painful or scarring acne, speak with a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist. Appropriate treatment depends on the type and severity of acne.
4. Which bacterial strains are in Biome Derma?
Biome Derma contains three identified strains: Lactobacillus salivarius LS03 (DSM 22776), Bifidobacterium breve BR03 (DSM 16604) and Lactobacillus casei LC03 (DSM 27537). Using full strain identifiers makes it easier to distinguish this formula from products containing different strains of the same bacterial species.
5. How many live bacteria are in each Biome Derma capsule?
Each capsule contains a total of 2 billion live bacteria. This comprises 1 billion CFU of Lactobacillus salivarius LS03, 500 million CFU of Bifidobacterium breve BR03 and 500 million CFU of Lactobacillus casei LC03.
6. How do I take Activated Probiotics Biome Derma?
Adults and children over 12 years should take one capsule daily, either with or without food, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare practitioner. Follow the directions supplied with your pack and do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
7. Does Biome Derma need to be kept in the fridge?
No. Biome Derma is a shelf-stable probiotic and refrigeration is not required. This can make it particularly convenient for everyday routines and travel. Store the capsules according to the conditions specified on the current packaging.
8. Is Activated Probiotics Biome Derma vegan?
Yes. Current product information states that Biome Derma is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. The vegetable capsule is made using hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose rather than an animal-derived gelatin capsule.
9. Is Biome Derma gluten and dairy free?
Current product information states that Biome Derma has no added wheat, gluten, dairy or lactose. It is also listed without added soy, egg, fish, shellfish, nuts or animal derivatives. Anyone with a diagnosed allergy should always check the current physical packaging before use.
10. Can teenagers take Biome Derma?
The manufacturer's directions state that Biome Derma can be taken by adults and children over 12 years at a dose of one capsule daily. For younger children, seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional before using the product.
11. Can I take Biome Derma while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The product directions advise women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to seek advice from a healthcare practitioner before use. This is a sensible precaution with supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding, particularly if other medicines or supplements are already being taken.
12. What makes Biome Derma different from a general probiotic?
Biome Derma uses a focused combination of three specifically identified bacterial strains rather than simply providing a large number of unspecified cultures. It contains 2 billion CFU per capsule and uses microencapsulation technology. When comparing probiotics, consider the precise strains, formulation, daily dose and intended product positioning rather than CFU count alone.
