Most Probiotics Die in Your Stomach. Ours Don't!

Velobiotics is built on a patented Microencapsulated Probiotic (MEP) delivery system. Each individual culture is wrapped in a protective coating that survives stomach acid (pH 1-2) and only releases in the small intestine. 1000× more live cultures reach your gut compared to conventional capsules. We use a 16-strain blend plus targeted vitamins per product.

No. Thanks to MEP encapsulation, all Velobiotics products are shelf-stable at room temperature up to 25°C for 24+ months from date of manufacture. Travel-friendly, summer-proof, no fridge required.

Most users report digestive improvements within 5-7 days. Immunity, mood, and energy benefits typically build over 3-4 weeks. Skin and hair benefits (Almasi) usually show at 6-8 weeks. Give your microbiome 30 days to rebalance — that's why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Velobiotics is generally safe with most medications, but if you take antibiotics, immunosuppressants, or are immunocompromised, please consult your doctor first. For antibiotic users we recommend taking Velobiotics 2 hours after your antibiotic dose for best results.

Our dedicated PregBiotics range is specifically formulated for pregnancy and breastfeeding and has been used by thousands of expectant and new mothers across South Africa. Other brands (Velo16, GutSlim, etc.) should be discussed with your obstetrician before use during pregnancy.

Yes — our BioKid range is specifically formulated for children aged 1-12 with kid-friendly strains and pleasant flavours. For older children (12+), Velo16 daily probiotic is safe at standard adult dosing. Always consult your paediatrician for children with chronic conditions.

Most Velobiotics products are vegan-friendly (capsule shells are plant-based HPMC). Check individual product pages for halal and kosher certification. Almasi Collagen Peptides Powder and Capsules contain bovine-source collagen and are not vegan.
