Help to prevent traveller's diarrhoea spoiling an expensive and exciting trip

With international travel becoming easier and more affordable, exotic countries are increasingly popular as both holiday and business destinations. It's often not easy to avoid food you are not used to and you may be uncertain how it's prepared.

The answer is to ensure the best nutritional protection available. Taken daily while away, TravelGuard may help to maintain the normal balance of friendly gut bacteria as well as supporting intestinal health and wellbeing.

TravelGuard utilises BioCare's DuoCap™ encapsulation process. DuoCaps™ are a new encapsulating process that utilises a capsule-within-capsule technology. This means that products can be manufactured as a single nutritional supplement that may not be stable or suitable to mix together in one standard capsule or tablet. The DuoCap™ process separates sensitive ingredients and prevents them from coming into contact with one another. It also allows for the ingredients to be released into the gut at different times.
