Digestive Advantage (Bacillus coagulans/lactase)

USES: This product contains probiotics and digestive enzymes. Probiotics have different types of bacteria. Some conditions (such as antibiotic use, travel) can change the normal balance of bacteria (flora) found in the stomach and intestines.

Probiotics are used to improve digestion and restore normal flora. Digestive enzymes (such as lipase, lactase) are natural substances needed by the body to help break down and digest food. Probiotics with digestive enzymes have been used to prevent bowel symptoms (such as gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort) and to treat lactose intolerance.

Different products have different uses. Check the label for information on uses for your particular product. This product should not be used as replacement treatment for digestive enzymes (such as in cystic fibrosis, cancer of the pancreas).

Some supplement products have been found to contain possibly harmful impurities/additives. Check with your pharmacist for details about the brand you use. The FDA has not reviewed this product for safety or effectiveness.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
