Disclaimer: Many people look to fermented foods or live bacteria containing drinks as a natural way to support microbial balance in the gut. These foods and beverages are often associated with the term “probiotic”, which is commonly used in scientific literature to describe live microorganisms. In the UK, the term “probiotic” is not permitted in product marketing due to regulatory guidelines around authorised health claims. For this reason Biomel does not make probiotic health claims.
