Biotics Nutrition

Biotics Nutrition is HSN’s specialist brand dedicated to food supplements formulated with bacterial strains. It brings together in a single catalogue products with viable microorganisms (traditional probiotics), as well as strains in innovative formats (such as tyndallised bacteria). Biotics Nutrition was created to organise a growing area of market interest, with an increasingly wide range at HSN, so that you can find and understand more easily which formula is best suited to you.

The goal is clear: to allow you to compare our products, which provide clear, specific and complete information. This means you can quickly find out what type of combination you are choosing, how many strains it contains, how their amount is expressed, which other ingredients are included and what format it comes in.

Not everything in the “Biotics” universe is the same. Formulas with traditional probiotics differ from those made with strains inactivated through controlled treatments. Nor have all products been developed with the same combination, concentration or matrix. Biotics Nutrition was created precisely to offer you different approaches and help you understand, clearly and transparently, the differences between different types of formulas.

In these formulas, we express the amount in CFU (Colony Forming Units), a measure associated with viable microorganisms. You will find options with different concentrations, such as 25B or 100B CFU, as well as combinations with different numbers and types of strains, depending on your needs and goals.

Tyndallisation applies a controlled heat treatment that inactivates bacteria. Therefore, although these formulas contain viable microorganisms, they contain elements originating from these microorganisms, which are currently of great scientific interest due to the nutritional properties being studied in relation to their use as food supplements as alternatives to traditional probiotics.

At Biotics Nutrition, we organise the catalogue by formula architecture and product focus. You will find options for general use and others with specific approaches such as:

• Digestive and immune support ranges (GI, Immu, Respi): Multifactorial formulas combining bacterial strains with authorised nutrients. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, while zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.
• Women’s and overall health: Combinations developed specifically for the different biological stages of women and the needs of adult life.
• Nutritional synergy matrix: Formulas enriched with soluble fibres (inulin, FOS), standardised plant extracts, digestive enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
• Patented raw materials: Transparent declaration with full identification of genera, species and documented strain codes.

A higher figure does not automatically make a formula the right option for everyone. Concentration should be considered together with the number and identity of the strains, the amount per serving, the complementary ingredients and the recommended use. That is why at HSN we offer options with different CFU levels, single-strain or multi-strain profiles and broad-spectrum formulas. This gives you all the information, clearly and transparently, so that you can make the best choice.

You can also choose between vegetable capsules (including delayed-release capsules used in the most sensitive products) and powdered formats. This variety allows you to prioritise convenience, concentration or type of formulation according to your preferences.

At Biotics Nutrition, we apply HSN’s quality standards to a type of product that requires particular precision:

• We select documented raw materials,
• We define the amount per serving,
• We clearly declare genera, species and strains.

We also differentiate the units of measurement applicable to viable microorganisms from those used in inactivated preparations.

Traceability, process control and a clean-label composition are key elements of our developments. No unnecessary embellishments. No hiding the formula behind an eye-catching figure that does not provide you with genuine valuable information. Just the information you need to compare and choose with confidence.
