Suggested Use

Take 1 capsule daily with or without food.

Alflorex® can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day. However, fruit juices are generally acidic and acid can damage the 35624® culture so we recommend taking it with water or milk or less acidic drinks e.g. soya, almond or rice milks. However, Alflorex® can be taken as part of a meal that has fruit juice, as the food will help protect the 35624® culture.

Do not exceed the stated dosage. Food supplements should not be used as substitutes for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of children. Store below 30°C.

No refrigeration required.

Consume within 1 month of opening. For best results we recommend you store Alflorex® in the original container with the lid securely closed.
