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.
