The original multi-strain Bio-Kult product containing 14 strains of live bacteria for everyday use. Can be stored at room temperature without the need for refrigeration Total viable count guaranteed to the end of the 2 year shelf life Suitable for children and pregnant women (we would always suggest consulting your doctor or healthcare practitioner before taking any food supplement) Gluten free May contain soya and milk as these are used in the growth media of the strains. Traces of milk are at a level that would not affect lactose intolerance sufferers. Made in the UK The bacteria in Bio-Kult are cryoprotected during the freeze drying process, which gives two main benefits: 1. They are protected from the harsh acid environment of the stomach and are therefore able to colonise the full length of the gastrointestinal tract. 2. The process allows Bio-Kult to be stored at room temperature without the need for refrigeration. Bio-Kult can be used on a continuous basis or for a short period of time, e.g. when taking antibiotics.
