Seasonal ailments & overindulgence

The immune system can be compromised during the winter months, making people much more open to attack from coughs, colds and other infections. As such, supporting the body’s natural immunity at this time of year is especially important to help prevent initial infection and potentially reduce the need for antibiotics. This can be done with regular consumption of a multiple-strain live bacteria supplement, says manufacturer ADM Protexin. Bio-Kult is a scientifically developed, advanced multi-strain formulation containing 14 live bacterial cultures, proven to survive the high acidity of the stomach, adds ADM Protexin.

Bayer has launched new Rennie Liquid Heartburn Relief oral suspension in response to research that suggests many people treat symptoms with both tablet and liquid formats. Liquid products are ideal for the relief of heartburn and indigestion symptoms at home while tablets provide the convenience of on-the-go symptom relief, explains Bayer. Rennie Liquid Heartburn Relief has a sodium alginate mode of action and the liquid forms a protective layer on the stomach contents to prevent stomach acids escaping into the oesophagus where it can cause pain and discomfort, the company adds.
