Can Bion be taken with a hot or warm drink?

We recommend that Bion^® should be taken with a cold drink, as a hot or warm drink may damage the protective coating of some products - one of the special features of products in the Bion^® range. The Bion^® tablet needs to be swallowed whole and intact for the living probiotic cultures to reach the gut where they can exert their many positive, health-promoting effects. For other products within the range that are chewable we still recommend not taking with a hot drink due to the probiotics being affected.
