Five Live Bacterial Strains

Bifidobacterium bifidum

Mainly found in the intestines, it produces vitamins and short-chain fatty acids, creating an acidic environment in the gut that is unfavorable for pathogenic microorganisms. Bifidobacteria naturally decrease in the senior gut, making it a core supplement in 60plus.

Bifidobacterium longum

Mainly found in the intestines, it has anti-inflammatory effects, produces short-chain fatty acids, and creates an acidic intestinal environment. It is often used to assist in the treatment of allergic diseases and is helpful for common allergies and chronic inflammation issues in seniors.

Lactobacillus casei

Contains immune-stimulating components and is often used to treat antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Seniors need special gut flora protection due to long-term medication use, and this strain provides important flora protective effects.

Lactobacillus plantarum

Has positive effects on the intestinal mucosa and immune system, helping to maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier and prevent harmful substances from penetrating into the bloodstream.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus

Promotes the growth of intestinal cells and has an immune-stimulating effect on the body, making it one of the most widely studied probiotic strains.

Key Mineral

Zinc
3mg / day

Zinc is one of the most common mineral deficiencies in seniors, with wide-ranging benefits: Supports normal immune system function, helps maintain normal bone, skin, hair, and nail health, promotes normal protein and DNA synthesis, supports cognitive function, helps maintain normal vision, helps protect cells from oxidative stress, and maintains normal acid-base balance and metabolic function.

Why do gut microbiomes particularly need supplementation after age 60?

Reduced gastric acid secretion after age 60, affecting digestive function and microbial balance
Bifidobacteria naturally decrease with age, leading to reduced gut protection
Increased frequency of medication use in seniors, with various drugs affecting gut flora
Insufficient dietary fiber intake (avoiding high-fiber foods due to dental issues)
Decreased physical activity, leading to reduced intestinal peristalsis
Studies show a correlation between reduced Bifidobacteria in seniors and an increased risk of colorectal cancer

Instructions for Concomitant Use with Other Medications

Seniors typically take multiple medications; it is recommended to take probiotics at least 2 hours after other medications
Antibiotics, PPIs (proton pump inhibitors), blood sugar-lowering medications, etc., all affect gut flora; probiotics can help maintain balance
If you are taking specific heart or other important medications, it is recommended to inform your doctor first

Main Target Audience

Daily maintenance for seniors aged 60+

After age 60, gut flora diversity naturally declines, and the reduction of Bifidobacteria is a normal part of aging. 60plus focuses on supplementing the most needed bacterial combination for seniors, combined with zinc to strengthen immunity, making it more precise than general adult probiotics.

Constipation, decreased digestive function

Due to reduced gastric acid secretion, insufficient dietary fiber, and decreased physical activity, constipation is a common problem for seniors. Probiotics help maintain intestinal peristalsis, and combining them with sufficient water and appropriate exercise yields better results.

Long-term medication users

Seniors typically take more than 5 medications on average, and antibiotics, PPIs, blood sugar-lowering medications, etc., all affect gut flora. Regular probiotic supplementation is an important measure to protect gut health.

Weakened immunity, prone to infections

Approximately 70% of immune cells are in the gut, and declining immune function in seniors is often related to gut flora imbalance. The zinc and probiotics in 60plus work synergistically to strengthen overall immune defense from the gut.

Assists in allergic diseases

Bifidobacterium longum is often used to assist in the treatment of allergic diseases. Seniors are more prone to food intolerance and allergic reactions due to weakened intestinal barriers, and probiotic supplementation helps improve this.

Guide to Choosing Between 60plus and Premium

60plus: Designed specifically for ages 60+, with 5 strains + zinc, precisely supplementing the Bifidobacteria most deficient in seniors, also containing inulin prebiotic
Premium: 11 strains, most comprehensive, suitable for ages 8 and above, also suitable for ages 60+
Marketing positioning: 60plus is a "precise formula tailored for seniors"; Premium is a "comprehensive choice for the whole family"
If seniors have multiple issues simultaneously (e.g., allergies + digestion + immunity), Premium might be more comprehensive

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can bacteria really reach the intestines?

Yes. Thanks to innovative microencapsulation technology, probiotic strains are optimally protected from stomach acid and bile, ensuring that most bacteria reach their site of action in the intestines to fully exert their effects.

When is the best time to take it?

It can be taken at any time of day, and also with meals. Ideally, it should be taken at least 2 hours after other medications to avoid them affecting probiotic activity.

What are the differences between 60plus and Premium? Can I use Premium instead?

Yes, you can. Premium contains 11 strains, including all strains in 60plus, and is also suitable for seniors aged 60+. The unique feature of 60plus is its focus on the Bifidobacteria combination most deficient in seniors and the addition of zinc, making it a more precise formula for older adults. If seniors desire the most comprehensive protection, Premium is also an excellent choice.

What are the differences between 60plus and 60plus drops?

60plus drops are more suitable for those with swallowing difficulties. Unlike 60plus capsules, the drops only contain Bifidobacteria strains, and are supplemented with vitamins B12, D3, folic acid (B9), and selenium (instead of zinc). The formula differs, so you can choose according to personal needs.

Why do seniors particularly need Bifidobacteria supplementation?

Bifidobacteria dominate the gut in infants and gradually decrease with age, with a particularly significant decline after age 60. Studies show a correlation between reduced Bifidobacteria in the senior gut and increased risks of constipation, enteritis, and colorectal cancer. 60plus focuses on supplementing this key group of strains most needed by seniors.

My elder is taking multiple medications, will probiotics have any impact?

Probiotics themselves do not affect the efficacy of medications, but many medications (such as antibiotics, PPIs, blood sugar-lowering medications) can affect gut flora. It is recommended to take them 2 hours apart from other medications. If you have concerns, informing your attending physician before taking them is the safest approach.
