UltraFlora Sensitive Skin Postbiotic

Practitioner-Only Product

Metagenics UltraFlora Sensitive Skin Postbiotic is a practitioner-only medicine. It is intended to be used on the advice of a qualified healthcare practitioner, who will decide whether it is appropriate for you and at what dose.

Metagenics UltraFlora Sensitive Skin Postbiotic is a capsule built around a postbiotic rather than a live culture: Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 at 21 mg per capsule, which means the bacterial cells have been inactivated so the ingredient does not depend on staying alive. Around it sit vitamin C, nicotinamide, vitamin B6, vitamin D3, vitamin E, zinc and a pair of plant extracts from grapefruit and rosemary. It comes as the 30 capsule bottle.

Product Strengths

• Relieves the symptoms of mild eczema.
• Soothes skin inflammation, redness and irritation.
• Reduces skin sensitivity.
• Promotes skin repair.
• Uses L-92, an inactivated postbiotic, so viability in storage is not the limiting factor it is for a live probiotic.
• Vitamin C at 125 mg and zinc at 7.5 mg of the element per capsule, from an amino acid chelate.
• Grapefruit fruit and rosemary leaf extracts, both quantified with their plant equivalents on the label.
• A labelled range of one or two capsules a day, so a practitioner can step the dose.
• Stores below 30 degrees Celsius, with no refrigeration needed.
