Biotics

Built for the Gut That Works as Hard as You Do

Your gut takes a beating when you work for a living. Long shifts, gas-station meals, irregular eating, hot trucks, cold job sites, and the kind of physical stress most people never deal with. When your gut is out of balance, you feel it everywhere — bloating after meals, sluggish energy, food that sits like a brick. Biotics is built to fix that.

Each serving delivers 60 billion CFUs of live probiotics across four clinically studied strains, plus a prebiotic fiber to feed them once they get where they're going. Most probiotics never make it past your stomach acid. Biotics uses MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology — an acid-resistant delivery system that protects the bacteria so the dose on the label is the dose that actually reaches your gut.

This is the daily probiotic for people who don't have time to be bloated, gassy, or running on a gut that isn't pulling its weight.

What's Actually in Biotics

Two capsules. Real doses. No fluff.

• 60 Billion CFU Probiotic Blend with MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology:
  • Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14) — supports digestion and helps crowd out unwanted bacteria
  • Bifidobacterium lactis (Bl-04) — supports the gut barrier and immune response
  • Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp-115) — supports gut lining integrity
  • Lactobacillus paracasei (Lpc-37) — supports immune function and gut balance
• Marine Polysaccharide Complex — part of the MAKTREK® delivery system that shields the strains from stomach acid
• Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) — a prebiotic fiber that feeds the good bacteria once they reach your gut. Probiotic + prebiotic in one capsule is called a synbiotic, and it's how Biotics gets more out of every serving

Serving size: 2 capsules. Servings per bottle: 30 (one-month supply). Other ingredients: cellulose (vegetable capsule), rice maltodextrin, L-leucine. Allergens: none of the major eight allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans).

Why MAKTREK® Matters

Probiotics only work if they reach your intestines alive. A lot of cheap probiotics dissolve in your stomach within minutes — the CFU count on the bottle is technically true, but most of those bacteria are dead before they get to the place they're supposed to work. That's why cheap probiotics tell you to take them on an empty stomach — it's the only way to give the strains a fighting chance.

Biotics doesn't need that workaround. MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology uses a marine polysaccharide shield that resists stomach acid and releases the bacteria deeper in your digestive tract. The 60 billion CFUs on this label are formulated to actually arrive — whether you take it with food, before food, or after food. That's the whole point of bypass technology.

Built for Blue-Collar Bodies

BCN doesn't make supplements for people who sit at a desk. Biotics is built for the people Blue Collar Nutrition serves — trades, construction, oilfield, warehouse, trucking, military, and anyone whose job is physical, whose meals are irregular, and whose gut takes more abuse than the average person's.

If you eat in your truck, eat on rotation, eat what the gas station has at 4am, or eat clean at home but still feel off — your gut microbiome is probably under more strain than you realize. A daily probiotic isn't a luxury. It's maintenance.

Who Biotics Is For

• Anyone dealing with daily or recurring bloating, gas, or general gut discomfort
• Workers with irregular meal schedules, shift rotations, or high-protein/low-fiber diets
• Anyone who's been on antibiotics recently and wants to rebuild their gut flora
• People who already feel "fine" but want to maintain a healthy gut microbiome long-term
• Anyone stacking with Digest for full-day gut coverage

Who Biotics Is NOT For

• Anyone under 18
• Pregnant or nursing women without clearing it with a doctor first
• Anyone with a diagnosed gut condition (IBS, IBD, SIBO, etc.) — talk to your doctor before adding any probiotic
• Anyone looking for an instant fix. Probiotics build over time — most people notice changes in 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use

How to Take Biotics

Take 2 capsules daily, with food, ideally at the same time every day. MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology protects the strains through your stomach either way, but pairing it with a meal makes it easy to stay consistent — and consistency is what gets results.

Set the bottle next to your coffee maker, your lunch cooler, or your truck cab. Skipping days resets the colonization process and stretches your timeline. The people who see the biggest changes are the ones who take it every day, not the ones who take it perfectly.

Quality You Can Verify

• Manufactured in an FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant facility
• Third-party tested for potency, purity, and contaminants
• Hormone-free, drug-test safe — contains no banned substances and will not cause a failed drug test
• Vegetable capsule — no animal-based gelatin
• Free of the major eight allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans)

Works Best as Part of a System

Biotics handles the daily baseline — building and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome over time. But day-to-day, when you eat a heavy meal, a fast-food run, or food that doesn't sit right, that's a different problem with a different fix.

Digest is the meal-time companion. Six digestive enzymes plus alpha galactosidase, taken 20 to 30 minutes before a meal, to help break down protein, fat, dairy, and the fibrous stuff that causes acute post-meal bloating. Biotics builds the foundation. Digest handles the moment.

Running both is the play. We bundle them as the Gut Pack, which saves you $13 over buying them separately and gives you full-day gut coverage — daily Biotics, with-meal Digest.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many CFU should a probiotic have?

For daily maintenance, research generally points to a range of 10 to 20 billion CFU. For people with active gut issues — bloating, irregular digestion, recovery from antibiotics, or high-stress lifestyles — 50 to 100 billion CFU is a more effective therapeutic range. Biotics delivers 60 billion CFU per serving, putting it in the upper-mid range where most people see noticeable results.

When is the best time to take a probiotic?

Take Biotics with food, once a day, at roughly the same time every day. Many cheaper probiotics tell you to take them on an empty stomach because their capsules can't survive stomach acid — taking them on an empty stomach is a workaround. Biotics uses MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology, which protects the strains through your stomach either way, so timing flexibility is built in. The most important variable is consistency: same time, every day.

Should you take probiotics on an empty stomach?

With most cheap probiotics, yes — because their delivery system can't survive stomach acid, so an empty stomach is the only way to get the strains through alive. Biotics is different. MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology uses a marine polysaccharide shield that protects the bacteria whether your stomach is empty or full, so you can take it with food without losing potency. Take it with a meal and stay consistent — that's what actually drives results.

Do probiotics survive stomach acid?

Most don't. Standard probiotic capsules dissolve in stomach acid within minutes, killing a large percentage of the live bacteria before they ever reach the intestines. That's why CFU counts on a label can be misleading — the number tells you what's in the bottle, not what survives the trip. Biotics uses MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology, a marine polysaccharide shield that resists stomach acid and releases the strains deeper in the digestive tract, so the dose on the label is the dose that actually arrives.

How long does it take for probiotics to work?

Most people notice changes within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent daily use. Initial improvements — less gas, less bloating, more regular bathroom habits — typically show up first. Deeper benefits like immune support, improved digestion of harder-to-break-down foods, and better nutrient absorption build over 6 to 12 weeks. Consistency is the biggest variable. Skipping days resets the colonization process and stretches the timeline.

Can I take Biotics with Digest?

Yes. They're designed to work together. Take Biotics once daily with food. Take Digest 20 to 30 minutes before your meals. The two products do different jobs — Biotics builds long-term gut flora, Digest helps break down food in the moment. The Gut Pack bundles both and saves $13 versus buying them separately.

Is Biotics safe to take long-term?

Yes. Probiotics are intended for ongoing daily use, and most people benefit from staying on them long-term because the gut microbiome is constantly being challenged by diet, stress, travel, antibiotics, and aging. There's no known downside to consistent long-term use in healthy adults. If you have a diagnosed gut condition, check with your doctor.

Will Biotics cause a failed drug test?

No. Biotics is hormone-free, contains no banned substances, no amphetamines, and no synthetic compounds. It's safe for anyone subject to workplace, military, or athletic drug testing.

Is Biotics for men or for women?

Both. The four strains and the MAKTREK® delivery system support gut health, immune function, and digestion the same way regardless of biological sex. Biotics is formulated for the general adult gut microbiome and works for any blue-collar worker, man or woman.

Does Biotics need to be refrigerated?

No. Biotics is shelf-stable and does not require refrigeration. Store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. This makes it travel-friendly — fine in a truck cab, gym bag, lunch cooler, or job-site locker.

Why does Biotics include FOS (Fructooligosaccharide)?

FOS is a prebiotic fiber. Prebiotics feed the live probiotic bacteria once they reach your gut, helping them colonize and thrive instead of just passing through. A probiotic with a prebiotic in the same capsule is called a synbiotic, and the combination is more effective than either alone.

Can I take Biotics if I'm lactose intolerant?

Yes. Biotics contains no dairy, no milk-derived ingredients, and is free of all eight major allergens including milk. The probiotic strains are dairy-free even though some, like Lactobacillus, are commonly associated with fermented dairy.

What's the difference between Biotics and other 60-billion-CFU probiotics on Amazon?

Two things. First, MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology — most drugstore and Amazon probiotics use a standard capsule that dissolves in stomach acid, so the actual delivered dose is much lower than the label number. Second, Biotics includes FOS prebiotic in the same capsule, making it a synbiotic. Most budget probiotics are probiotic-only and skip the prebiotic component entirely.

Do I need to cycle off Biotics?

No. There's no clinical need to cycle off a daily probiotic. Your gut microbiome benefits from steady, consistent input. Cycling on and off can actually disrupt the colonization you're trying to build.

What if I miss a day?

Take it the next day and continue normally. Don't double up. A missed day won't undo your progress, but missing several days in a row will. Consistency is the variable that matters most for probiotic results.
