FAQs
-
The difference between our two formulas lies in the specially selected herbs we add during the fermentation process. Both Maintain and Restore are bursting with the same bacteria - it’s the customised blend of herbs that sets them apart. Restore is more suited to people with sensitive tummies. Maintain is for general gut health.
-
Each 500ml bottle of Naked Biotics contains up to 125 billion CFU’s.
-
Yes. Naked Biotics is packed full of live bacteria, natural herbal blends and some healthy extras produced during the fermentation process. However, regulatory law now has prohibited the use of the word ‘probiotics’ in consumer marketing materials, industry wide.
-
As our microbiomes are uniquely different, the answer to this may vary. Some people notice effects after their very first shot, others can take up to a few weeks. For best results we recommend purchasing our 90 Day Restore Plan to recover the health of your gut microbiome. It’s the perfect way to restore your inner glow and experience sustained gut health.
-
Yes. But only natural sugar from fruit juices and molasses. These sugars are necessary to feed and multiply the billions of bacteria in Naked Biotics during the fermentation process. Nearly all of the sugar is used up during this process leaving less than 0.03g of sugars per daily dose.
-
Yes. Naked Biotics is accredited by the Vegan Society. Health is a state of mind as well as a state of the body, so we like a clear conscience and don’t use any animal-derived products during the culturing or production of Naked Biotics.
-
Yes. All our ingredients are 100% natural, or derived from natural-sources. We believe in the importance of harnessing nature, starting with what we put into our body; this is why you won’t find any artificial ingredients in our products.

-
We recommend drinking 30ml of Naked Biotics daily. Our products can be taken at any time, with or without a meal. For maximum benefit we recommend taking your Naked Biotics shot around the same time every day.
-
Unlike freeze-dried tablets, Naked Biotics is a liquid, developed over 15 years to provide a powerful cocktail of good bacteria. A liquid offers the perfect conditions for multiplying bacterial cultures. It’s a case of the more millions the merrier when rebalancing the bad bacteria in your gut.
-
It’s all in the fermentation process. Our unique formula develops over 21days and in this time the bacteria strengthen and learn to exist together. Strong bacterial colonies will stay alive when entering your gut, surviving stomach acid along the way.
-
Frozen bacteria found in tablets need time to wake up and colonise the gut. In theory, freeze-drying is meant to preserve bacteria so it has the chance to reach your large intestine alive, but in reality, this process can result in bacteria passing through your body dormant and unused.
The liquid difference means that the microbes in Naked Biotics are readily available the moment you consume them. What’s more, with a pH level similar to your stomach acid, they don’t need to be freeze-dried to survive your stomach and thrive in your intestine. This means you absorb the maximum amount of bacteria with every raw dose you take. -
The microbiome is the trillion-plus microbes that live in our body, mainly in our large intestine. They are made up of bacteria, viruses and fungi. These microbes are biologically amazing, helping to manage blood sugar, vitamins, cholesterol, hormone balance, immunity and calorie absorption. Keeping the microbiome balanced is essential for best health.
-
Bacterial cultures are living colonies of microorganisms. When entering your gut they multiply and colonise it with varying effect: some being good bacteria that promote well-being, but others being bad and creating negative effects.
-
Yes, sometimes there are! We don’t like to call them side effects, instead it means the product is doing its job. Due to the strength of Naked Biotics, it sometimes takes time for your body to adapt. Initially you may experience mild Diarrhoea, gas or bloating. Don’t let this put you off. If things get uncomfortable, reduce your daily intake. Then increase slowly over a few weeks to the 30ml daily dose. Please reach out to our support team if you have any questions at support@nakedbiotics.co.uk.

Naked Biotics is a natural product. Please seek advice from your GP or healthcare professional.
-
All our products are fermented liquids and best stored at room temperature. This is because we ferment Naked Biotics at body temperature so it’s a like for like environment when it is consumed – making it more robust. If refrigerated, the microbes are a little slower and not as effective. They are happiest out of the fridge!
-

No. At Naked Biotics we’re proud of our natural approach. Just like our name suggests, our drinks are ‘naked’. We believe life in its raw form is powerful without being dressed up in unnecessary extras like additional flavourings.
-
Yes. Naked Biotics can be mixed with food or drink that’s as close to room temperature as possible. Natural juices, such as apple and orange, are ideal for making it more palatable for you. Avoid mixing it with hot drinks.
-
Once you’ve opened the bottle, the product will last for 60 days at room temperature. If you’ve lost track of time then give it a sniff. If there’s a rotten smell, discard.
-
Don’t panic, this is perfectly normal. White flakes are just the natural yeast that forms when our liquid formulas are exposed to oxygen - in other words, once the bottle of Naked Biotics has been opened. Please don’t shake it, it’s completely natural for these flakes to form on top of the liquid and they are perfectly safe to consume.
-
A bit of motion during transport won’t harm our robust bacteria. We just don’t want you to vigorously shake the product every day, especially once the bottle has been opened. The microbes in the liquid don’t need oxygen to grow. Shaking the bottle can introduce oxygen and this may reduce the potency of the good bacteria inside.
