Immune Support can be given to adults and children, from 1 year onwards, with the following recommendations:
Take 1 capsule daily, preferably with breakfast, or as professionally directed.
For those unable to swallow capsules, open and mix contents with cool drink/food.
Can probiotics be taken every day?
The simple answer is yes! Probiotics have been researched for decades and the growing weight of evidence suggests that daily use is both safe and recommended. There’s no known risk of dependency or overdose: the human gut naturally contains trillions of micro-organisms, so the numbers found in supplements are modest by comparison. Probiotic bacteria are found naturally in our diets, but not all probiotic strains do the same thing, therefore, many people like to use a supplement containing probiotic strains which have been shown to support a specific area of health, such as immune function.
Who should not take probiotics for immune support?
Older people can be more vulnerable to colds and flu so may choose to take a supplement for extra support, but often have concerns about whether it’s safe for them to take probiotics. However, friendly bacteria supplements are safe to be taken by everyone from birth into old age 1-2. There are only a few circumstances when probiotics may not be appropriate, such as for adults or children who are immune-compromised. If you have a serious health condition, you should always speak to your doctor before taking any supplement.
