Beneficial Probiotics

Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that support gut health and the balance of the digestive microbiome. EMIS+ supplies clinically-recognised probiotics in Singapore, including Bioflor (Saccharomyces boulardii), LactoGG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) and Vivomixx (high-strength multi-strain), for adults and children.

How to choose a probiotic

  • By strain: different strains have different roles — Saccharomyces boulardii (Bioflor) is well studied for antibiotic-associated and travellers' digestive upset; Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LactoGG) is one of the most researched strains for general gut and immune support.
  • By strength (CFU): higher-CFU multi-strain formulas like Vivomixx are often chosen for more intensive support.
  • By age: child-friendly formats (sachets, drops) suit kids; see our kids probiotics.

Common questions

What is the best probiotic in Singapore? There is no single best — the right probiotic depends on the strain matched to your need and taking it consistently. Bioflor, LactoGG and Vivomixx are all well-evidenced options stocked by EMIS+.

When should I take probiotics? Many people take probiotics daily, and often alongside or after a course of antibiotics. Probiotics are a food supplement and do not replace medical treatment — check with your doctor if you have a medical condition or a weakened immune system.
