Fos-a-dophilus has become extremely popular among our practitioner clients. It is a highly effective pre & probiotic formulation in capsules. It contains 6 active strains of probiotic bacteria, plus the prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides. This product is ideal for long or short term usage for those groups of people whose lifestyles and/or diets predispose them to digestive upsets. It is also good for the elderly to take on a regular basis. We recommend it for maintenance in people over 40 because it is high in bifido bacterium, which tend to be less easily regenerated as we get older. Lactobacillus acidophilus is also present, as this strain works in the small intestine. The product hence offers a wide range of strains that give support throughout the whole alimentary tract including the mouth & female vagina. In easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules, a one-a-day dose is ideal for maintenance, whereas this can be increased to one capsule three times daily in acute situations. The form of this product makes it absolutely ideal for travelling or taking on holiday. It is suitable for children, & the contents of the capsule can be emptied into a little yoghurt or fruit juice if the capsules are too large for your child to swallow. Use Fos-a-dophilus:• If you have made changes to your normal dietary intake; • If you are travelling abroad, & therefore experiencing dietary & water quality changes; • If you are elderly
