Digestion
How to choose
- Probiotics: look on the label for the strain names, the number of CFU in the daily dose and the storage conditions — some are kept in the fridge.
- Enzymes are usually taken with meals — follow the directions on the pack.
- Fibre (such as psyllium) is taken with enough water: the amount is given in the directions.
- Powders are easy to mix into a drink; capsules and tablets have no taste.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, consult a doctor before use.
