Product Information

Directions for Use

DIRECTIONS: Adults and children over 8 years, take 1 tablet a day, with or between meals, or as your health professional advises. Do not exceed recommended daily intake.

Warnings & Precautions

Some people have an allergic response to yeast but the allergen, which causes an allergic response, is a protein on the yeast cell wall and when broken down the protein's ability to evoke an allergic response is largely lost.

Keep out of reach of children.

TBE060 107 TBE-099-01

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Fermentation is a very special process, which enriches yeast with all the nutrients used in the growing mixture, forming natural organic bonds and loose complexes. Yeasts take in nutrients rather than consuming them and are for this reason valued food sources for nutrients.

This bottle has a UV filter.

Ensure lid is tight and store in a cool, dry, steam-free environment as damp conditions can affect the product quality.
