Who is it suitable for

For adults and children over 12 years of age experiencing intestinal discomfort, bloating after meals, or regular complaints of gas and stomach pain.

Storage and live cultures

Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the refrigerator. A day or two in transit with the courier is not a problem: the cultures travel dry in the capsule, and the acacia fiber serves as a protective medium for them.

How it works

A synbiotic does three things at once

Most probiotics only deliver bacteria. Microbiome 11 preserves and nourishes them: 7 billion live cultures travel to the gut, and 400 mg of acacia fiber keep them alive until they get there. That is why Microbiome 11 is a synbiotic, not an ordinary probiotic.

Restoring intestinal balance

The ingredients work synergistically to relieve bloating, gas, and heaviness after meals. Live cultures colonize the intestinal lining and support both digestion and nutrient absorption, helping you return to a feeling of lightness.

Boosting the immune system

A large part of the immune system is located around the gut and is "trained" by the bacteria within it. A healthy microbiome makes the body more resistant to seasonal viral infections, and after antibiotics or stomach upset, it helps the flora recover faster.

The gut–brain axis

The gut is called the "second brain" because over 90% of serotonin—the neurotransmitter for mood and sleep—is produced there. When the gut microbiome is in balance, you feel harmony: the mind is calmer, and sleep and mood improve.

With Microbiome 11

Three things that change when the stomach is calm

Calm stomach without bloating

Lunch ended ten minutes ago, and your belt is already feeling tight. This formula is aimed precisely at people with this daily discomfort - bloating, gas, heaviness, and irregular gastrointestinal function.

“Good” probiotic bacteria colonize the intestinal lining and support digestion and nutrient absorption. The result customers describe most often: going out to dinner without calculating how it will affect you.

Stronger immune defense

The microbiome regulates the immune system and works continuously to protect the body from infections. The formula supports this foundation both during the viral season and after taking antibiotics.

When the microbiome is disrupted, following antibiotics, stress, or a period of poor nutrition, immunity weakens. A healthy microbiome helps the immune response to be stronger and reinforces the gut flora for faster recovery.

Improved mood and energy

"Balance for the stomach, peace for the mind." The connection between the brain and the gut is extremely strong. When digestion is unsettled, it is felt throughout the entire day.

Over 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut. When there is an imbalance, we feel chronic fatigue, exhaustion, anxiety, or low mood. By restoring the connection between the mind and body, Microbiome 11 helps promote a calmer mind.

How you feel in the coming days

We don’t sell overnight miracles. We sell a routine that works.

The microbiome changes slowly and gradually. That is why we think in months, not days. Here is how the intake is usually structured — sensations are individual.

Day 1–3 · The body is getting acquainted

Two capsules in the morning, with a glass of water, before breakfast. Seven billion live bacteria head to your gut. Some people may experience more gas at first, which is a sign that the fiber is fermenting. If this happens, split the capsules: one in the morning, one in the evening, to make the transition to an orderly microbiome easier.

Tip: place the box next to the water glass on the table, not in the cupboard. This way, taking it in the morning becomes a habit from the very first day.

The most common question we receive

"Can I, given my therapy?"

Microbiome 11 is suitable for daily use, but there are conditions in which the intake of a probiotic should be evaluated by a doctor. Check your case below.

✓ Healthy adult or child over 12Absolutely fine — 2 capsules in the morning, about 30 minutes before breakfast.
✓ During and after antibioticsYes — that is exactly when the gut flora needs support most. Take the capsules about 2 hours apart from the antibiotic and continue after the course ends.
✓ Sintrom / warfarin (acenocoumarol)Absolutely fine — Microbiome 11 contains no vitamin K2 and has no described interaction with these medicines.
✓ Blood pressure or diabetes medicationNo described interaction.
✓ AntidepressantsNo established interaction.
✓ Vegans and vegetariansYes — Microbiome 11 is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
✓ Bloating, gas and heaviness after mealsYes — this is the main reason people take it.
✓ Gastritis and refluxYes — with a sensitive stomach, take the capsules during breakfast.
✓ Other Sapphire productsCombines with the whole range — the formulas are made to complement each other.
! Euthyrox / levothyroxineBoth are taken in the morning on an empty stomach — ask your endocrinologist how to space them.
! Daily therapy or Hashimoto’sFor most people, probiotics go well with daily therapy, but the decision is your doctor’s. Write to us and we will send you the full composition for the review.
! SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)Intake should be assessed by your doctor — with SIBO, bloating may get worse at first.
! Histamine intoleranceIntake should be assessed by your doctor.
! Heart valve prostheses with a history of endocarditisIntake should be assessed by your doctor.
! Pregnancy and breastfeedingPossible, but only with your doctor’s explicit approval — during pregnancy and breastfeeding the decision is theirs.
✕ Severely weakened immunity, immunosuppressants, after a transplantWith chemotherapy and neutropenia, after a transplant, with advanced HIV or on immunosuppressive therapy, a probiotic should not be taken without your doctor’s explicit permission.
✕ Acute pancreatitis or a critical conditionDo not take without your doctor’s explicit permission.
✕ Central venous catheter or short bowel syndromeDo not take without your doctor’s explicit permission.
✕ Children under 12The formula is for adults and children over 12.

Live cultures

"And won't the delivery kill the bacteria?"

No. Here is the honest answer that people rarely get.

A few days in transit with the courier are not a problem.

The capsules easily withstand the delivery time. The refrigerator is for long-term storage at home and is not a strict requirement for the cultures to survive before the packaging is opened.

The cultures are in a dry form within the capsule, which allows them to withstand transport. The acacia fiber in the same capsule acts as a protective environment around the bacteria, and once they reach the intestines, it becomes their food and supports their multiplication.

If the package has been left sitting, do not worry. Storage outside the refrigerator does not mean the cultures are destroyed; colder temperatures simply extend their lifespan. Therefore, it is more important how you store them after opening.

It is always better in the fridge.

Heat and humidity shorten the shelf life of live cultures, while cool temperatures preserve them for longer, which is why we store our produce under controlled conditions.

Once you receive the package, place the box in the refrigerator. You can even keep it in the freezer - the bacteria thrive in sub-zero temperatures. In the summer, do not leave the product in the car all day. When traveling, take only the capsules you need for the days you are away and leave the box at home in a cool place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you ask most often

How is Microbiome 11 taken and what is the dosage?

Take 2 capsules daily in the morning on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes before breakfast, with a glass of water. This ensures the cultures reach the intestines in the best possible condition. If you have a sensitive stomach, you can take them during breakfast. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

How long should I take it for? Can I take it continuously?

In cases of more severe imbalance, such as after taking antibiotics, the usual course is at least 3 months. For prevention and maintaining intestinal balance, courses of 3 or 6 months are recommended. The product is also suitable for long-term use.

What is the difference between a probiotic and a prebiotic (acacia fiber)?

Probiotics are "good" live bacteria. In this case, 6 selected strains of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. Prebiotics are the "food" for them. Microbiome 11 contains 200 mg of acacia fiber in each capsule (400 mg daily) - a 100% natural, soluble fiber that stimulates the growth of good bacteria. The two together are called a synbiotic.

Should I take it only if I have a problem?

No. Probiotics are also preventive care for the intestinal ecosystem. Stress, rushed eating, travel, and seasonal viruses can suddenly disrupt the balance. You don't need to have a diagnosis to take care of your digestion.

Who is Microbiome 11 suitable for?

For adults and children over 12 years of age. For vegans and vegetarians. For people experiencing bloating, gas, heaviness after meals, fatigue, or following antibiotic treatment. For pregnant and breastfeeding women - after consultation with their doctor.

Are there any side effects?

Probiotics of this type have no serious contraindications. The only possible side effects, if any occur at all, are mild digestive disturbances (gas or bloating) at the very beginning of intake, while the body adapts to the new bacteria.

Is it normal to experience more swelling in the first few days?

It happens to some people and is no cause for concern. Acacia fiber ferments in the gut, similar to when your diet includes more beans, lentils, or vegetables. It subsides within a few days. If you wish, split the capsule intake between morning and evening so that you are taking a smaller amount of bacteria at once.

Can I take it with an antibiotic?

And it is precisely then that the intestinal flora is in greatest need of support. Take the capsules about 2 hours apart from the antibiotic and continue even after the course has finished.

I am taking medication / I have Hashimoto's. Can I?

For most people, probiotics go well with daily therapy, but the decision rests with your doctor. If you are taking levothyroxine, keep in mind that both are taken in the morning on an empty stomach—ask your endocrinologist how to space them out.

Does it need to be refrigerated? What about the delivery?

The refrigerator is for long-term storage at home. One or two days of transit with the courier are not a problem — the cultures are in dry form inside the capsule, and the acacia fibers also act as a protective environment around them. If you haven't kept it in the refrigerator until now, the cultures are not destroyed; the colder temperature simply extends their shelf life.

What are the exact strains?

Bifidobacterium infantis LBI-04 · Bifidobacterium longum LBL-01 · Bifidobacterium breve LBB-05 · Bifidobacterium lactis LBA-03 · Lactobacillus plantarum LLP-2L · Lactobacillus rhamnosus LLR-K22. Together — a probiotic blend of 200 mg with 7 billion CFU per daily dose.

When will I feel the difference?

Every organism has its own pace. Some of our clients report changes as early as the first week, while for others, it is gradual. We recommend evaluating the results after 60 days of regular use — this is the period during which the balance has time to stabilize.

Does it help with weight loss?

Microbiome 11 is not a weight loss product. It is designed for digestive comfort and microbiome balance. Many people report that their stomach looks flatter when bloating is reduced.

Can I combine it with the other Sapphire products?

Yes. Sapphire formulas are designed to complement each other — Microbiome 11 pairs perfectly with Gluco 1, Menoflor 6, and Focus 7, provided the daily dose of each is followed.

Where can I buy it in person?

In addition to sapphire.bg, you can find Microbiome 11 at Subra, dm, 36.6 Pharmacies, and Nove. You can also order by phone: 02 408 5577, Mon–Fri 9:00–17:00.

Are you ready to start?

60 days is the period during which the balance has time to be maintained.

60 days of regular intake. This is the period during which the balance has time to be maintained.
