Description
Travelling might be both fun and exciting, but it can also stress our system and impact our gut microbiome. With shared cabin air, lack of sleep, changes in time zone, diet, and daily routines, as well as other stressors, catching a cold is 100 times more likely when a person is travelling. With exposure to a variety of pathogens foreign to our immune system, we may also suffer a few unpleasant symptoms including irregular bowel movements, bloating and abdominal discomfort. Of all travel related illnesses, diarrhea is by far the most prevailing. It is easily spread from person-to-person or by consuming contaminated food or water.
The Ultra-Strength & Travel formula has been designed to support gastrointestinal microflora balance before, during and after a trip away from home, counter the effect of stress and help prevent Traveller’s Diarrhea (TD).
- Supports gastrointestinal and immune health during travel and schedule changes;
- Replenishes the microflora following stressful periods;
- Promotes bowel regularity;
- Reduces symptoms associated with intestinal discomfort;
- Supports the immune system;
- Assists in maintaining a strong intestinal lining;
- Restrains the growth of pathogenic bacteria;
- Helps reduce the risk of Traveller’s Diarrhea (Turista);
- Helps reduce the incidence of food poisoning as well as reducing the duration and the severity of the symptoms.
