Description

QUICK SUMMARY

This supplement helps with: recovery of the intestinal flora after antibiotics, deworming or other medication, recurring intestinal complaints, fluctuating stools and a weakened immune system. Phase 2 of the NGD Care Bowel Protocol. For dogs, cats and humans.

How does Fermented Probiotics work?

Most probiotics contain one to five isolated strains of bacteria. Fermented Probiotics is different: it is a freeze-dried fermented water kefircomplex with more than 50 strains of bacteria and yeast in their natural symbiosis. That symbiosis is exactly what a healthy gut microbiome needs. Not one strong species, but a broad ecosystem of microorganisms that reinforce and balance each other.
After antibiotics, deworming or chronic medication, the disturbed microbiome grows back more lopsided: pathogenic and opportunistic species are the first to be given space. Adding five trunks does not solve that structurally. Fermented Probiotics offers microbiome diversity as it occurs in nature: bacteria and yeasts, in the proportions created during fermentation. The chicory inulin in the formula acts as a prebiotic that supports the colonization of the added strains and stimulates the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) for intestinal barrier repair. This combination of probiotics and prebiotics makes Fermented Probiotics a synbiotic.

What does this supplement do?

More than 50 bacterial and yeast strains in natural symbiosis for broad microbiome diversity
Restores the intestinal flora after antibiotics, deworming, flea medication or other medication
Strengthens the gut barrier via SCFA production and tight junction support
Supports the immune system via mucosal IgA production and microbiome balance
Chicory inulin as a prebiotic for optimal colonization and synbiotic effect

When do you see results?

Microbiome recovery is a gradual process. The first strains are establishing themselves quickly, but true diversity building and barrier restoration requires weeks of consistent use. The first effects are visible in stool quality and energy.

Week 1-2

First tribes settle. Stool consistency improves. Less flatulence and bloating.

Week 2-4

More stable stool. Better appetite and vitality. Coat and skin quality begins to improve through the gut-skin axis.

Month 1-2

Microbiome diversity structurally recovers. Fewer recurrent infections. Better food intake and noticeably more energy.

Month 2+

Daily maintenance dose for structural microbiome support. Combine with Prebiotic Fibers for maximum synbiotic effect.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between Fermented Probiotics and a regular course of probiotics?

Most probiotics contain 1-5 isolated strains of bacteria. Fermented Probiotics is a fermented water kefir complex with over 50 strains of bacteria and yeast in their natural symbiosis, providing a much broader microbiome diversity than a single probiotic can provide.

When is Fermented Probiotics especially necessary?

Especially after antibiotics, deworming, flea medicine or other medication that disrupts the microbiome. In these situations, pathogenic and opportunistic species are the first to be allowed to grow back, and a broad synbiotic helps to restore the balance more quickly.

Can I combine Fermented Probiotics with antibiotics?

Always discuss this with a veterinarian. Some antibiotics also kill the added probiotic strains, which can make it more effective to start only after the course or to spread the intake by several hours.

Why does Fermented Probiotics also contain chicory inulin?

Chicory inulin is a prebiotic: it nourishes the added bacterial strains so that they can become more established, and stimulates the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) that support the intestinal barrier. This makes Fermented Probiotics a synbiotic rather than a separate probiotic.

Works well with

Fermented Probiotics restores microbiome diversity. The supplements below enhance this recovery through additional pathways.

Biofilm Balance

Biofilm Balance breaks down the biofilm that protects pathogenic bacteria. Fermented Probiotics then fills the vacant niche with healthy strains. Together the core of the transition from phase 1 to phase 2 in the Bowel Protocol.

Prebiotic Fibers

Fermented Probiotics provides the probiotic strains. Prebiotic Fibers provides the prebiotic substrate for colonization and SCFA production. Together the most complete synbiotic in the NGD Care range.

Gut Barrier Support

Fermented Probiotics builds microbiome diversity. Gut Barrier Support restores the tight junctions and gut barrier so that the new microbiome strains find an intact environment.

Active Vit B-Complex

After antibiotics or long-term intestinal complaints, B vitamin deficiencies are common. Vitamin B-Complex provides the cofactors that the restored intestine can optimally absorb through the improved intestinal barrier.
