How to take Clostridium butyricum live bacteria powder

Live Clostridium butyricum powder is an intestinal microbiota regulator, primarily used for restoring intestinal microbiota balance and treating symptoms such as diarrhea and constipation caused by dysbiosis. Its administration must strictly follow medical instructions.

1. Dosage: Generally, it is recommended that children take one sachet (500 mg) each time, twice or three times daily; adults should take two sachets (1000 mg) each time, three times daily. The exact dosage must be adjusted according to individual conditions under a physician's guidance.

2. Method of administration: The powder may be poured directly into the mouth and swallowed with warm water not exceeding 40°C, or dissolved in a small amount of warm water and consumed. Avoid using excessively hot water to prevent damage to the viability of the live bacteria. Additionally, the powder should be poured into water first and stirred thoroughly to avoid clumping during dissolution.

3. Optimal time for administration: This medication can be taken before or after meals without affecting its efficacy. Administration half an hour to one hour after meals is preferable, as gastric acid secretion is relatively reduced at this time, which facilitates the live bacteria passing through the stomach and reaching the intestines to exert their beneficial effects.
