Each capsule of SYNBIO®slim contains the probiotic strain Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum IMC 510 at a concentration of 15 billion live cells (CFU/capsule). The assumption is of n°1 capsule/day, preferably at breakfast, for 3 months. The capsules can be opened and their content can be dispersed in a cold liquid or at intake temperature or in semi-solid food. Always store in original container or in a clean covered container, out of the reach of children. When stored in a dry, clean environment, out of direct sunlight, the product has a shelf-life of at least 24 months. Samples of probiotic supplement in closed and sealed boxes will be provided to subjects participating at the beginning of the study, in quantities sufficient for the entire duration of the study (90 capsules for 3 months).
