Directions for use

• The recommended daily intake is 1 sachet per day. Stir the contents of one sachet into water, yoghurt, apple juice or another non-carbonated cold drink and drink it immediately afterwards.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women: Data from the literature indicate that VSL#3® is safe during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding. Although VSL#3® contains naturally occurring, beneficial microorganisms, pregnant or breastfeeding women are always advised to consult their doctor or another healthcare professional before taking VSL#3® or any other dietary supplement.
• Taking with medication: VSL#3® is considered compatible with all types of medication. If taken alongside antibiotics, it will not cause you any harm, but the viability of the bacteria in VSL#3® may be reduced.
• Notes: When taking VSL#3® for the first time, you may experience bloating whilst the balance of bacteria in the digestive tract changes. This is usually a temporary phenomenon due to changes in the gut microflora. If flatulence occurs, the daily dose may need to be reduced to allow for this adjustment.
• Storage: When stored unopened and in a cool place (2–8 °C), we guarantee the shelf life of VSL#3® until the best-before date. VSL#3® can be stored at room temperature (max. 25 °C) for up to 7 days. Keep out of reach of young children.
