Directions & Storage

Directions & Storage:

Directions:

Take one heaped teaspoon = 5g daily
This product may be used in one of two ways:
At low doses FOS acts as a prebiotic (bowel-‘conditioner’) and at larger doses FOS conditions the bowel and also helps maintain regularity. Follow directions on the packaging

Dissolve in hot drinks or sprinkle onto cereal. Alternatively simply take it ‘off the spoon’. Be sure to drink at least 2 litres of fluids a day

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat

Warnings

Warnings:

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake/dose

Do not purchase or consume if the seal is broken

Keep out of reach of children

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

Additional Warnings:
If any of these intake levels cause excessive flatulence then reduce the dose and gradually build up. The flatulence is a positive sign that FOS has reached the bowel and is feeding your ‘friendly’ bacteria. As the bacteria consume FOS a gas is produced which can lead to some flatulence at first, however after a few days this will disappear as further ‘friendly’ bacteria develop and absorb the gases.

For intakes over 10g (or 5g in children); dividing the intake into two daily doses, one at each end of the day will help reduce flatulence.

FOS may cause temporary bloating. This is a short-term effect and once your system ‘speeds up’ the bloating will disappear. If bloating continues for more than three days then reduce the daily intake of FOS.
