First of all my mum bought this from B.I.G Pharmacy, and according to the pharmacist this medication helps improve people with nose allergy, not that I don't trust the pharmacist, of course they know better than us who didn't even study medicine at all, but just that I don't see any indication on the medication label as it only says traditionally used for strengthening the body, so my question is anyone who've used this, what does it actually do ? Apparently even google doesn't provide much info about this medication.

any product leaflet in the box? it should describe the medicine better in terms of indication, side effects etc.

if you can list the active ingredient(s) here, maybe some of us can help...

unfortunately no leaflet at all, only describes it's vegetable capsule contains saccharomyces cerevisiae ( dried fermentate )

Essentially this is just another garbage~ saccharomyces cerevisiae is brewer's yeast

dem... they sell these kind of crap as health supplements??

If it is the strain called UFMG A-905, it would
be beneficial in allergies.

But the label does not say so.

Big Pharmacy stocks supplements sold by
this local company. Not cheap.

Supplements in this country are priced outrageously.
