How to Use
One or two capsules daily, with food. Sixty capsules is a month at two a day.
Take them at the same time each day — most people attach it to breakfast, because that is the meal they are least likely to skip. No refrigeration: keep the pack somewhere cool and dry, sealed between uses.
If you are taking a course of antibiotics, the usual advice is to leave at least two hours between the two. Speak to your GP or pharmacist if you are on prescription medication.

Billions of what, exactly?
A CFU total is a manufacturing number. It is not a formula.
Strains a blend total lets you name.
0A single strain at a huge count can carry a whole total on its own, and that total is measured at the factory rather than in you. Neither of those is a secret. They are just easier to sell than a list.
CFU: colony forming units, the standard measure for live cultures.
So we built Billions to be read, not counted.
Five cultures, and every count we state.
That adds up to a shade over one billion CFU a capsule, which is smaller than the numbers on the front of most packs. We would rather print five real figures than one big one you cannot break down.

Questions, answered.
Does it need refrigerating?
No. Billions is made to be shelf stable. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight, with the pack closed between uses.
Is Billions suitable for vegans?
Yes. The cultures, the capsule shell and the three other ingredients are all suitable for vegetarians and vegans. As with any batch-made product, the current pack label is the definitive statement — and if anything ever changes, we will say so.
How many capsules a day?
One or two capsules daily with food, at whatever time you will actually remember. Two a day makes a pack last a month.
Can I take it alongside antibiotics?
The usual advice is to leave at least two hours between an antibiotic dose and a live culture supplement. If you are on a course of antibiotics or any prescription medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting.
How quickly will it arrive?
We ship the same day on weekday orders placed before 2pm, from our UK warehouse. Royal Mail Tracked 48 is standard, Next Day Courier is available at checkout, and delivery is free on orders over £70.
Can I pause or cancel a subscription?
Skip, pause or cancel at any time from your account. No notice period, no fee, no phone call. We would rather you stayed because the product is good than because leaving is awkward.
