The bacteria found naturally within the body play an important role as our first line of defence. Bio-Kult is a scientifically developed, advanced multi-strain live bacteria supplement containing 14 live bacterial cultures proven to survive the high acidity of the stomach, and to complement the existing gut flora naturally present in a healthy person’s digestive system, says manufacturer ADM Protexin. Bio-Kult does not need to be refrigerated and can be taken alongside antibiotics, by babies, when pregnant, by vegetarians and as part of a healthy diet, the company adds.

GeloRevoice Throat Lozenges are formulated to provide noticeable and long-lasting relief from throat and voice conditions, explains manufacturer GR Lanes Health.

When these constituents come into contact with saliva, they form a unique hydrogel complex that provides a protective film over the affected mucous membranes, relieving symptoms such as a dry, itchy or sore throat and allowing irritated areas to regenerate, the company explains.
