A naturally fermented live gut reconditioning probiotic supplement that helps to optimise the bacterial population profile in the gastrointestinal tract.
It is biodynamically produced using organic fermentation ingredients, including many wild Alpine herbs, to produce exceptionally high quality effective microorganisms — up to 80 different kinds of them. The result is a probiotic action unlike the conventional freeze-dried varieties.
The herbs used supply antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other nutritional components, and as the sugar is used up in the fermentation process, Micromax is safe for diabetics, and although it is a fermented product, it can also be a part of an anti-candida treatment program and a digestive cleanse.
Directions: Adults should start with a half tablespoon twice a day 20 minutes before meals (total daily dose 15mL), in water or juice (with no added sugar). If well tolerated, double to 1 tablespoon twice a day before meals (total daily dose 30mL). Alternatively, mix the total daily dosage in a litre of water and drink throughout the day. Never add to hot water. Children should take smaller amounts based on fraction of adult body weight. Probiotics should not be taken by young children without first consulting with a healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed recommended dose.
Contraindications: Do not take if hypersensitive to any of the ingredients. Not to be taken by children under 3 years old. Also, if pregnant or breastfeeding‚ please consult a health professional before taking this or any other product. Otherwise, there are no known interactions.
Allergens & potential side-effects: Unlikely to cause allergies as common allergens not present. However, the initial gut disturbances can be mistaken for an allergic reaction so monitor closely. This is a detox reaction and digestion should normalise after 1-3 days.
Dietary information: Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Suggested combinations: Take with Klamath Blue Green Algae
Potential Reactions: When starting Micromax one can sometimes experience rumbling in the gut and/or diarrhoea. This is a detox reaction and digestion should normalise in 1-3 days.
Refrigerate once opened and consume within 6 weeks.
