How to take Bio-Kult
This depends on what condition is to be treated and how the body responds; each person is different. But it’s always wise to start low with one capsule once or twice per day. The dose can be increase to four capsules per day, for example when on antibiotics. However, take the probiotics at a different time away from antibiotics.
