Zinc L-carnosine, also called polaprezinc, joins zinc to the dipeptide carnosine and is present at 18.75 mg. Chamomile flower is included as 100 mg of a 4:1 extract. The probiotics are 5 billion CFU of Bifidobacterium longum BB536 and 2.5 billion CFU of Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic yeast.

Dosage: 2 capsules 2 times daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. Take at least 2–3 hours before or after taking antibiotics or antifungal medications.
Cautions: Stop use and consult a health care practitioner if symptoms of digestive upset (e.g., diarrhea) occur, worsen, and/or persist beyond 3 days. If you have fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or severe abdominal pain, consult a health care practitioner prior to use. Hypersensitivity (e.g., allergy) has been known to occur, in which case discontinue use. Do not use if you have an immune-compromised condition (e.g., AIDS, lymphoma, patients undergoing long-term corticosteroid treatment). Keep out of the reach of children.
I was having some digestive issues, bloating and gas on a regular basis. I guess inflammation related. I started taking these every day, and they have really helped. I use digestive enzymes or "rescue" products when needed, but that has been much less frequent.

Great Product
I started taking this product shortly after my doctor prescribed medication for my gastro problems. Taking the medication the doctor prescribed made my condition worse, so much so that I could barely get through the day. I stopped taking the prescribed medication and did research on my own. Really trying this product was an experiment, I wasn't sure it was going to help, but after taking this product for a few days my symptoms started getting better. I took it faithfully for another month to six weeks and now I only need to use it occasionally. This product certainly does work.
