4. The package states "Keep out of reach of children," but my child swallowed the BB536 by accident. What should I do?

This advisory is meant to keep children who are not under an adult's supervision from choking on the capsules. The BB536 powder itself is a food product that is safe for children to consume. However since BB536 does contain milk casein, we do not recommend that children with milk allergies use it.

Cellulose (vegetarian)

6. Why should I not chew the BB536 capsule?

Bifidobacteria, like acidophilus, are susceptible to gastric acid in the stomach. In order to deliver as much active bifidobacteria to the intestine as possible, Morinaga has developed the acid-resistant capsule. If you chew the capsule, it is no longer acid-resistant.

7. Why do you recommend taking BB536 on an empty stomach?

As stated in the answer above, bifidobacteria (like acidophilus) are susceptible to gastric acid. The faster the acid-resistant capsule moves through the stomach, the more bifidobacteria will arrive in the intestine. When you have an empty stomach, the capsule will move through the stomach quickly. For this reason, we recommend taking capsules on an empty stomach, before meals.

8. Is BB5536 safe for the body?
