Business leader and mom, Nazz R Sanker, shares a practical, evidence-informed routine for supporting gut balance, pairing Biogen’s Supreme Probiotic For Her with the 9-Strain for day-to-day microbiome care.
Why probiotics for women
Nazz frames gut health as a small, sustainable habit with big ripple effects. The gut microbiome influences digestion, immunity, mood, skin, and the vaginal microbiota. When routines are disrupted by stress, antibiotics, poor sleep, or travel, women often feel the difference. A consistent, label-directed probiotic can help maintain a healthy microbial balance as part of a balanced lifestyle.

What’s in the Biogen range she uses
Supreme Probiotic For Her (targeted support)
- Contains Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri.
- Includes a gentle prebiotic (Orafti® Synergy1).
- Suggested use: Adults take 1–2 capsules daily with meals.
- Tip: If using antibiotics, space the probiotic by ~2 hours.
Supreme Probiotic 9-Strain (broad, daily all-rounder)
- Diverse Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, including HOWARU® strains.
- Includes prebiotic support (Orafti® Synergy1).
- Suggested use: Adults and kids 6+ years: 1–2 capsules daily.
- Good for general digestive support, always check labels and ages.
| “Consistency plus lifestyle make the real difference.” — Nazz |
Applying it in real life
- Pick a focus: feminine wellness? For Her. Broader everyday gut support? 9-Strain.
- Be consistent: 1–2 capsules daily with meals; simple reminder next to a multivitamin.
- Antibiotics? Space doses by at least two hours.
- Store below 25 °C in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed.
Noticeable changes
- More predictable digestion on high-pressure days.
- Less bloat ‘noise’ when routines go sideways.
- Feeling more supported around her cycle (while still prioritising sleep, stress, hydration, and nutrition).
These are individual observations rather than medical claims. Every body is different; results depend on consistency and lifestyle.
Safety and sensible use
- If pregnant, breastfeeding, immunocompromised, or preparing for GI procedures, seek medical advice first.
- As with all health supplements in South Africa: “This unregistered medicine has not been evaluated by SAHPRA for its quality, safety or intended use.”
