CDS22 Probiotic 112 Billion is a high-strength, multi-strain probiotic in a convenient daily capsule. Each capsule delivers 112 billion live bacteria from the same eight identified strains as CDS22 450 Billion sachets, combining Streptococcus thermophilus with four Lactobacillus and three Bifidobacterium strains. CDS22-formula is the original De Simone Formulation, made in Italy.
Probiotics help support a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which plays a role in normal digestion. CDS22 112 Billion suits people who want a stronger daily probiotic but prefer a capsule to a sachet, including during a course of antibiotics or with seasonal changes. Each capsule is sealed in its own blister. To protect the live bacteria, keep the pack refrigerated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between CDS22 112 Billion and 450 Billion?
Both contain the same eight strains. The 112 Billion comes as a daily capsule (20 per pack), while the 450 Billion comes as a higher-strength powder sachet (12 per pack) that you mix into a drink or yoghurt.
Why does it need to be refrigerated?
Refrigeration keeps the live bacteria count at 112 billion right up to the expiry date. A week at room temperature (up to 25°C) is fine for travel.
Can I take it with antibiotics?
Yes. Take CDS22 a few hours after each antibiotic dose. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.
Can children take it?
Yes, from 3 years. Children aged 3 to 6 can take 1 to 2 capsules a day. If they can't swallow capsules, open the capsule and mix the powder into yoghurt or juice.
Is it vegetarian?
The capsule is made from vegetable cellulose (HPMC). It may contain traces of milk, so it isn't suitable for people with a milk allergy or for vegans.
