exposed to higher temperatures (85 degrees); or if kept unrefrigerated for long periods of time.

What is your recommended dosage?
Recommended dosage is dependent upon your individual needs:
Maintenance Dose: (for those individuals with no specific health needs, but who simply wish to keep beneficial bacteria active in their GI Tract)1/4 to 1 capsule daily (Hint if taking less than one capsule cut open tip of capsule with knife or scissors and squeeze out desired amount of
probiotic gel.)

Therapeutic Dose: (for those individuals with specific health benefits in mind such as increased digestion, constipation relief, immune support, etc. )1 to 2 capsules daily. Most individuals begin with 2 capsules and then adjust the dosage upward or downward dependant upon their physical response over time.

Acute Care:(for those individuals suffering from extreme symptoms such as bacterial induced diarrhea, or severe constipation) not to exceed 4 capsules daily.

Children under 50lbs should only take 1/4 to 1/2 capsule per day.

Is there an adjustment period when I first begin taking the probiotic supplement?
When one first begins taking their probiotic supplement,they may experience some tempory changes in GI Function until the body adjusts to the sudden change. For example some individuals may experience somewhat loose stool; or the urge to go to the restroom more often than usual, while others may experience constipation for a short period of time.This is not unusual and is actually a sign that the probiotics are having an affect on your digestive functions. Remain consistent with your dosage and in a short period of time( 1 to 3 weeks) your digestive system
will begin to function symbiotically with the probiotic cultures.

How and when should I change dosages?
Changing dosages: It is best to change dosages gradually and wait a week or two to see the effect it has on your digestive functions. For example if you are taking one capsule and are not getting the desired results, first try two capsules before increasing to three or four. The same
applies if you are taking 3 capsules don't switch all the way down to 1/4 capule first try two and then one. If one plans to discontinue use of the probiotic supplement it is best to work your way down from the highest dose to the lowest of over a short period of time to allow your
digestive functions to easily adjust.

Should I take it every day or can I take it every once in a while?
Remain consistent, for best results take your probiotic supplement each day in a consistent dosage. Once your body has adjusted to the probiotic cultures, it expects them to be there, to aid in digestion, maintain regularity, and continue the support of the immune system. If you take them hit and
miss, skipping days and changing dosages they can be much less affective, especially when it comes to constipation relief.
