Description
VSL#3 is a probiotic mixture containing 450 billion live lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria.
VSL#3 contains 8 different strains of beneficial bacteria which have been selected on the basis of scientific studies for their ability to bond to the walls of the digestive tract. The unique blend of beneficial bacteria in VSL#3 works by colonising the gastrointestinal tract
with 'good' bacteria, helping to sustain a favourable balance of bacteria in the gut.
Maintaining a favourable balance of beneficial bacteria helps keep the 'bad' bacteria at bay
Open the sachet and stir the contents into cold water or any non-fizzy drink or food and consume immediately.
It can take a few days or weeks for the balance of bacteria in the gut to adjust and may take up to one month to become stable
