This is one of the key advantages of our formula. The difference lies in the speed of action, effectiveness, and biological composition:

Probiotic Capsules
Contain lyophilized (dried / dormant) bacteria – they need 1–3 hours to be released and activated in the digestive system.
The capsule shell may dissolve too early or too late, causing some bacteria not to reach the intestines alive.
Provide only probiotics.
Often contain fillers or gelatin.
No pleasure of use – another capsule to swallow.

Balance BiotiQ (liquid form)
Contains already active probiotic bacteria along with their metabolites called postbiotics, which begin to act immediately after consumption.
Live cultures are ready for colonization from the first minute.
Balance BiotiQ is a probiotic + postbiotic – it simultaneously feeds the microbiome and delivers ready metabolites.
Pure liquid formula, zero unnecessary additives.
A raspberry ritual you'll want to drink.
In short: a capsule only starts working after a few hours. Balance BiotiQ works from the first sip — because it is a living biological system, not a dry powder.

30 ml daily, in two 15 ml servings in the morning and evening, after meals. Can be consumed neat or diluted in water/juice. Regularity = effectiveness.

First digestive effects – in as little as 1–2 weeks. Full microbiome restoration – approx. 4–12 weeks of regular use.

Yes, but always after consulting a doctor. Many people use it 2–3 hours after taking antibiotics to protect the gut microbiota. In the case of oncological therapy, it is often used to support the regeneration of the digestive tract and immunity, but the decision should be approved by the treating physician.

Yes – probiotics work well with vitamins, adaptogens, collagen, and omega-3. Just avoid combining them with hot beverages, which could kill the bacteria.

Yes – the product is 100% plant-based, with no lactose, gluten or gelatine.

Children aged 3 and over - only with pediatrician's consent. Seniors - definitely, especially with weakened immunity or after antibiotic treatments.

Yes – manufactured to GMP/HACCP standards, each batch is laboratory tested for microbiological purity and AFU activity.

Diluting the probiotic with water is not obligatory, but it may offer additional practical benefits. The addition of water helps create an optimal hydration environment for probiotic bacteria, which can support their biological activity. The recommendation to take the preparation after a meal is based on research findings indicating that the presence of a food matrix increases the survival rate of probiotic bacteria during their passage through the stomach, providing them with protection against low pH and an additional source of nourishment.

Balance BiotiQ, as a liquid probiotic, stands out due to its base of fermented rice water instead of a typical powder matrix, and the presence of 19 tested bacterial strains in a single formula. The liquid form also means that the bacteria are active immediately upon opening the bottle, rather than only after dissolving in the body.

No, by definition, drinkable postbiotics do not contain live microorganisms, but only inactivated bacteria and their beneficial metabolites produced during fermentation. This is precisely what differentiates them from drinkable probiotics, where bacterial viability is a key quality parameter.

Pretty Care liquid probiotic is intended for adults and children from 3 years of age, after consultation, who are looking for daily support for microbiota balance and digestion. It is especially effective after antibiotic therapy, with irregular digestion, and as part of daily prophylaxis.

Yes, a liquid probiotic, such as Balance BiotiQ, can be used together with an antibiotic, maintaining at least a two-hour interval between the dose of the medication and the probiotic, so that the antibiotic does not immediately destroy the administered bacteria. It is worth continuing to use it for another week or two after finishing antibiotic therapy.

Balance BiotiQ, as a drinkable probiotic, contains 19 tested bacterial strains, including Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, and Streptococcus thermophilus. The full list of strains, along with their count per serving, is provided on the product label.

Yes, Immun PostbiotiQ, as a liquid postbiotic, combines inactivated bacteria with their metabolites and traditional immune-supporting ingredients such as rosehip, linden, and elderberry. Regular use during the infection season is one of the most common applications of this product.

Fermented rice water is a natural, gluten-free medium created through a cascade fermentation process with lactic acid bacteria, serving as a nutrient for bacterial cultures. It is thanks to this that Pretty Care liquid probiotic has a clean composition, without the need for artificial thickeners or stabilizers.

Yes, Pretty Care drinking probiotics have a slightly tart, refreshing taste due to the addition of raspberry juice and stevia, without artificial sweetening with sugar. It is recommended to dilute a portion in about 50 ml of water, which further softens the taste and makes it easier to drink.

Liquid postbiotics, such as Immun PostbiotiQ, can be used long-term and regularly without the need for strict breaks, as they do not contain live microorganisms that could disrupt the natural microbiota with continuous use. If you have any doubts about the duration of the treatment, it is worth consulting a doctor or dietitian.

Pretty Care liquid probiotic, such as Balance BiotiQ, is indicated as suitable for children from 3 years of age, after consulting a pediatrician. The liquid form can be easier to administer to a child than a large capsule, which can be difficult to swallow at a younger age.

The key difference is that a probiotic drink contains live bacteria that must survive their journey through the digestive system, whereas a postbiotic drink contains already inactivated bacteria and ready-made metabolites that work regardless of whether the microorganisms are alive. In practice, a postbiotic can be gentler on sensitive guts, while a probiotic more strongly supports direct colonization of the microbiota.

A liquid probiotic, by supporting the balance of the gut microbiota, can help reduce bloating and feelings of indigestion resulting from impaired digestion. Balance BiotiQ is one of the most frequently chosen products for this purpose, although in cases of severe, long-lasting ailments, it is worth consulting a doctor to determine their cause.

Any supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including liquid postbiotics, should be discussed beforehand with your gynecologist or midwife, even though the ingredients of such products are often considered mild. The final decision to introduce a specific product is always made by the attending physician.

Liquid probiotics are effective as a basic, daily support for the microbiota thanks to live bacteria, whereas liquid postbiotics are a better choice for more sensitive intestines or when you want a gentler form of support without live microorganisms. Both types can also be used interchangeably throughout the day, as they are not mutually exclusive.

Deep Sleep Elixir, as a liquid postbiotic, combines inactivated bacteria with GABA and the CALMOMIX® complex, containing valerian, lemon balm, passionflower, and hops, which support falling asleep and a feeling of calmness in the evening. It is recommended to consume a serving one hour before bedtime.

AntyOxy PostBiotiQ is a drinkable postbiotic combining a bioferment from 19 bacterial strains with eight superfoods, such as green tea, turmeric, and pomegranate, and 500 mg of vitamin C per serving. This composition is intended to support the protection of cells from oxidative stress while simultaneously supporting the gut microbiota.

Yes, all probiotic and postbiotic drinks from the Pretty Care line are gluten-free due to their fermented rice water base, and fully vegan, without any animal-derived ingredients or dairy. This makes the products suitable for people with celiac disease, lactose intolerance, and those on a plant-based diet.

The proven liquid probiotic and liquid postbiotic Pretty Care are most easily purchased directly through the manufacturer's official online store, where the full, current offer and information about batches and quality tests are available. Availability in brick-and-mortar stores may vary by region.

Yes, combining a liquid probiotic with a liquid postbiotic, for example, Balance BiotiQ with Immun PostbiotiQ, is a common practice, as both products are made from a common base of fermented rice water and complement each other. This duo is usually taken alternately throughout the day, with morning and evening meals.

Yes, each batch of Pretty Care drinkable probiotics and postbiotics undergoes laboratory testing to confirm that the number and type of bacterial strains match the declaration on the label. This is an important element of quality control for products based on live or inactivated bacterial cultures.

An opened bottle of liquid probiotic or drinkable postbiotic should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within the period indicated on the label, usually within a few weeks of opening. It is also advisable to gently shake the bottle before consumption, as a small amount of sediment at the bottom is a normal effect of natural fermentation.
