Question:
Is the desiccant poisonous if swallowed?
Answer:
The desiccant is used to absorb moisture and protect the probiotic capsules. Whilst the crystals (silica) in the desiccant are considered non-toxic, the outer shell is plastic and will not break down in the body. Under the majority of circumstances, these will be eliminated via the faeces. However, do monitor yourself and if you experience any discomfort or are concerned, please consult your doctor.
