Vicopyl®

Questions? Answered.

• What is Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)?

  H. pylori is a type of bacteria found in the stomach. It is a major cause of gastritis and stomach ulcers due to its tendency to attack the stomach lining. It is incredibly common, with some studies showing that up to 50% of people globally may carry it, often without exhibiting symptoms. H. pylori has also been classified as a cancer-causing agent since 1994.

• Is it the same thing as taking probiotics?

  Not quite. While both support gut health, Vicopyl® uses Limosilactobacillus reuteri bacteria, a common probiotic, that has been inactivated. This makes it shelf-stable, and improves its ability to withstand the acidic environment of the stomach, yet without losing effectiveness. It also specifically targets H. pylori without affecting the rest of your gut microbiome.

• How does one get Helicobacter pylori infection?

  One may get infected via contaminated food, water, or utensils. It is most commonly spread via an infected household member through contact with saliva or the sharing of utensils. When food sharing is a widely practiced habit, the spread of H. pylori can be fast yet unnoticed. The source of infection can be highly unpredictable. Most people are first exposed to the bacteria during childhood and it might take years before symptoms start showing up.

• Can I take Vicopyl® with antibiotics?

  Yes. Vicopyl® is safe to take alongside antibiotic treatments. Additionally, it can help reduce side effects of the antibiotic treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on the gastrointestinal tract, such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. It may even be helpful to take Vicopyl® before starting your antibiotic treatment. Since there is a chance of reinfection after completing your course of antibiotics, taking Vicopyl® is a safe and effective way to support your ongoing stomach health and reduce the chance of recurrence.

• Is Vicopyl® safe for children? What about pregnant and/or breastfeeding women?

• What are probiotics and how do they support the gut?

  Probiotics are live beneficial microorganisms that help maintain a healthy balance in the gut microbiome. They support digestion, nutrient absorption and overall gut resilience when taken consistently.

• Can I consume Vicopyl® during my antibiotic treatment?

  Vicopyl® is designed to retain its beneficial properties without being influenced by the antibiotic treatment. Vicopyl® can also be used prior to your antibiotic therapy. Susceptible individuals might be reinfected after a successful eradication treatment, underlying the need for Vicopyl® as a natural and safe preventive method.

• How do I properly store Vicopyl®?

  Vicopyl® is stable in room temperature (below 30 degrees celcius) and does not require refrigeration.

• How is Vicopyl® a better alternative to antibiotics?

Vicopyl® is also a good alternative to antibiotics as it does not contribute to the problem of antibiotic resistance.
