Dosage
It is suggested to chew or swallow one tablet each day with or without food. It is quite nice having the option to chew the tablet as most tablets only offer the option of swallowing. Since there are 30 tablets per bottle, the product should last you roughly one month.
Possible Side Effects
There has only been one case of anaphylactic shock as a reaction to yacon root ingestion in one individual with a strong allergy to the plant.
Price
When purchasing online, the cost is $21.13 per bottle, saving you 30%. If you buy 3+ you save 5%. If you buy 12+ you save 10%. We find this to be not such a great discount as there are options online offering you much bigger discounts for bulk purchases. What it doesn’t inform you straight away is that the shipping costs you $13.69 so the actual total is $34.82.
Guarantee
There is no guarantee. The guarantee depends from which health site you buy this particular product from.
Conclusion: Sunbiotics Potent Probiotics with Organic Yacon Root Prebiotics Review
This product seems to be good. The only thing that concerned us was the fact that we could not find a guarantee and the fact that there was not a really big discount given for bulk purchases.
