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.
-
‘Purchased these probiotics before my holiday to Thailand. 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.’
-
So I took these a week prior to my holiday to Egypt and then throughout. These didn't appear to help much. However, one can never know if it would have been worse without them.
