How It Works
- Natural Fig Extract: Figs help support normal intestinal function and a healthy intestinal microbial balance.
- Sorbitol: Used as a sweetener and thickener. Sorbitol can also draw water into the bowel, so excessive consumption may produce a laxative effect.
- Ginger, Peppermint, Clove and Cassia: Aromatic botanical extracts and oils included principally as flavouring ingredients.
Recommended Daily Intake
Shake well before use. Current Original-label directions give adults 15-30ml daily, children aged 3-6 years 5-10ml, and children aged 6-15 years 7.5-15ml. Some Irish listings instead state 10ml for all children aged 3-14 or 15, so the directions on the particular bottle supplied should take precedence.
Use within 28 days of opening and do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
