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.
