Customer reviews

• Started these before my holiday . I then kept taking them everyday during my holiday to Thailand and then through Cambodia to Vietnam. So lots of different foods. I had no problems and took them when I returned. Would definitely take them again .

• Took several days before and after as well as all the time I was travelling around Cambodia and Vietnam. Only had one day I was off colour which was really good for me! So pleased I took them and would use again.

  Wendy Gray - 4th June 2020

• Purchased these probiotics before my holiday to Thailand as l had a bad bowel infection a few months ago after a course of antibiotics. Unfortunately l had two recurrences of this and was worried this would happen again while l was on holiday. I am so glad l took these as my stomach was fine even though l was eating spicy Thai food a lot of the time. I will now take these on future holidays.
