How many billion do I actually need?
For general daily use, 5 to 20 billion is a common range. Higher-count products tend to be chosen for shorter, more specific periods. If you are unsure, ring us on 01323 928523 - it is the sort of thing that is much easier over the phone.
Do they need to go in the fridge?
Only some. The label says clearly, and anything requiring refrigeration is packed for it when we send it out. If a chilled product has arrived warm, tell us and we will sort it.
Can I take one with antibiotics?
Many people do, spacing them a few hours apart and carrying on for a while afterwards. Your pharmacist can advise on timing against the specific antibiotic you have been given.
Are they suitable for vegans?
Plenty are, though some strains are grown on dairy-derived media and some capsules use gelatine. Vegan lines are marked and you can isolate them with the filters above.
