EcoDophilus supplies a combination of four different strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria Acidophilus, Kefir, Bulgaricus and Bifidum live organisms. Kefir and Bulgaricus were discovered over a century ago as being organisms responsible for traditionally preserved foods such as cheeses and fermented milks. Acidophilus and Bifidobacteria are probably the most widely researched of all the micro-organisms used in foods and food supplements. To ensure the viability of these very sensitive organisms in EcoDophilus, they are freeze-dried and then encapsulated and packed within a triple blister film that protects them from the damaging effects of oxygen and moisture right up to the moment they\'re consumed. Because of this, EcoDophilus does not need to be refrigerated.Recommended adult intake:Maintenance intake: 1-2 capsules daily, with foodIntensive: Up to 2 capsules, 3 times dailyChildren from 2 years old:may take 1 capsule daily.
