However, I am very surprised that the price we are paying for this in Singapore.
For 30 capsules each with 100 million counts of live bacteria, I have to pay almost S$45! This is charges from a public hospital. A check on Amazon reveals that price is approximately S$32. Much cheaper!
I wonder how much the shipment would cost. But unfortunately, this product cannot be shipped overseas. There are some other brands, but the shipment cost is really a lot!
I checked the company from whom I bought my Probiotic, Vitamin World. I always buy from them whenever I go to US, or when my close friends going over to US. Their excellent customer service is really striking. When I called last month from Singapore about a product changing color, they just shipped me a replacement although they said that the product I had was fine to consume. That's how I come to know about their international shipment.
Ok, look at the following product from Vitamn World :

The benefits of the 'good bacteria' can be obtained by taking yoghurt drink or yoghurt, or some other fermented foods with naturally occurring live cultures. I don't think my kids need this every day. But I would let them take this when there are many people in school having flu or stomach flu. One of the main way to stay happy is to stay healthy, right?
