BioCare TravelGuard - "The Travellers
Advanced Probiotic"
Full list of ingredients shown below

before, during and after the holiday, plus antibacterial,
anti-parasite, antifungal drops, such as grapefruit seed extract,
and a multivitamin."
Help to prevent traveller's
diarrhoea spoiling an expensive and exciting trip
With
international travel becoming easier and more affordable, exotic
countries are increasingly popular as both holiday and business
destinations. It's often not easy to avoid food you are not used to
and you may be uncertain how it's prepared.
The answer is to ensure the best nutritional protection available.
Taken daily while away, TravelGuard may help to maintain the normal
balance of friendly gut bacteria as well as supporting intestinal
health and wellbeing.
TravelGuard utilises BioCare's DuoCap™ encapsulation process.
DuoCaps™ are a new encapsulating process that utilises a
capsule-within-capsule technology. This means that products can be
manufactured as a single nutritional supplement that may not be
stable or suitable to mix together in one standard capsule or
tablet. The DuoCap™ process separates sensitive ingredients and
prevents them from coming into contact with one another. It also
allows for the ingredients to be released into the gut at different
times.

"A
thriving colony of good bacteria in your gut makes it harder for bad
bugs to become established," says Susan Curtis, a natural medicine
expert at Neal's Yard Remedies Therapy Rooms in London. "I take
BioCare Travelguard capsules, which contain a probiotic, garlic and
antiseptic herbs, to help maintain intestinal health and fight off
bugs."
