LACTOGG^®’s probiotic strain has been studied and consumed for over 30 years. It is a natural bacterium which may be found normally in the intestinal tract of healthy humans. It is extensively documented to be safe.

Clinical studies have proven that GG probiotic is safe for long term consumption even in extremely small, premature babies admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The youngest baby who had consumed GG probiotic over long periods was born nearly 5 months premature and weighed only 0.465kg.

A 6 year study in Italy calculated that there were nearly 20,000 doses of GG probiotic consumed by these tiny babies in neonatal intensive care units and no harmful event was noted throughout that long period.

A 10 year safety surveillance was carried out in Finland and Sweden, involving over 4 million citizens.  This study reported that there was no increased incidence of GG probiotic invading the body despite a huge increase in the consumption of this probiotic strain by the population.

Similarly, clinical tests have verified its safety when consumed by elderly people over 95 years old.

If you have a medical condition which makes your immune system greatly weakened or you are taking medication which severely suppresses your immune system, it is advisable to discuss with your doctor if you would like to consume LACTOGG^®.

LACTOGG^® is extensively purified to remove cow milk protein.  It is suitable for use in individuals with cow milk allergy.  

LACTOGG^® is completely vegetarian.  It does not contain any gluten, soya, pork, beef or artificial ingredients.  It is there suitable for vegetarians, people with gluten sensitivity, soya allergy or members of the Muslim and Hindu faiths.

Since it is a naturally occurring human good germ there is no 'overdosing' on LACTOGG^®.  If you consume many doses of LACTOGG^® all at once, the ‘extra’ GG probiotic will be safely passed out in your stools.

LACTOGG^® can be consumed long-term.

Taking GG probiotic long term does not mean that this special strain of probiotic will ‘push out’ or ‘take over’ from all the other good bacteria from your gastrointestinal tract.  In fact, GG probiotic does the opposite.  It stimulates the proliferation of other natural good germs.

Introduction of GG probiotic stimulates the growth of existing good bacteria so that the whole population of good bacteria increases in the presence of this probiotic! 

Clinical tests have shown LACTOGG^® to be safe in all ages, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
