CDS22-Formula Infant Drops | 8 Strains | 2 x 5ml
CDS22-formula Infant Drops is an 8-strain live bacteria food supplement in a drop format, providing 50 billion live cultures (CFU) per bottle. A pack contains two 5ml bottles of MCT oil, each with a dosing cap that holds the bacteria. The formulation was developed by Professor Claudio De Simone and is manufactured by EOS2021 S.r.l.
Each of the eight strains is identified on the pack by its NCIMB deposit code, so the contents can be checked against a public register rather than taken on trust. Refrigerated product, cold-chain dispatched across the UK. £13.55 per pack.

Allergen: may contain traces of milk. Do not use if your child has a cow's milk protein allergy without first checking with your GP, health visitor or pharmacist. Gluten-free.

Does it contain allergens, and is it gluten-free?
CDS22-formula Infant Drops is gluten-free and it may contain traces of milk. If your child has a known or suspected allergy, or a cow's milk protein allergy, speak to your GP, health visitor or pharmacist before use.

Which strains and how much CFU does it contain?

Deposit codes identify specific strains against a public register, which makes them a more reliable check than a product name or a count on the front of a box.
