Description
(New packaging) New ingredients:
- Dried beet pulp:
Switching tomato pulp to dry beet pulp effectively provides more stable fiber, helps control stool formation, and reduces soft stools. - Dried chicory root:
This is fructooligosaccharide (FOS), providing extra prebiotic fiber that combines with MOS to form a powerful gut-activating combination. - Bacillus drivisi fermentation products and dried Bacillus subtilis fermented products:
these two more stable strains replace the original strain combinations, maintaining maximum activity and more pronounced effects throughout the product’s shelf life.
