How to Use

Instructions: VSL#3^® powders can be consumed or mixed with a cold, non-carbonated beverage, or a cold food, such as yogurt or applesauce. However, they should not be consumed with hot beverages or foods, as high heat inactivates the live bacteria in them.

Dosage: Take as directed by your physician (usual adult dosage is 1-2 packets as needed, up to 2 times a day).
