Water Purification and Diarrhoea Prevention Products
Unsafe drinking water and a jippy tummy are a constant worry for the traveller. Chlorine dioxide tablets and water purification bottles both purify water, making it safe to drink without leaving a bad taste. Bimuno Travelaid helps support your stomach in seeing off "bad" bacteria.
What are the best methods for treating drinking water abroad? This is a very common question amongst travellers who may not have access to clean drinking or bottled water. Boiling water is a tried and tested method, but not always practical. Here we look at alternatives to boiling water.
Chlorine dioxide tablets are probably the safest and most effective chemical water disinfectants out there. They kill bacteria, viruses and cysts in water (including giardia and cryptosporidium). They can be used to treat drinking water, as well as water used for cleaning your teeth and preparing fruit. There is no need for neutralising tablets since chlorine dioxide tablets don't have a taste. The tablets can be used to treat up to 30 litres of water and are safe for long term use.
Until recently, iodine was the most commonly known and commonly employed water purification treatments. However, iodine is not being supported under the EU Biocides Directive and so most manufacturers have discontinued supplying iodine products since 2009. We now recommend using chlorine dioxide tablets; a great alternative.
If you are not limited with space, try the handy Aquapure Traveller portable water purifier bottle. It incorporates innovative M.A.D. (Mechanically Advanced Disinfection) Technology, a chemical free system that not only does a much better job than the original product, but also has a faster flow rate: all without chemicals. The bottle was designed to provide safe drinking water that tastes great. Its filter cap will purify about 350 litres in the course of its lifetime, and is the only portable water purifier officially endorsed by the Hospital of Tropical Diseases London. It is environmentally friendly; by using the Aquapure Traveller, you are helping the environment by not dumping the equivalent of 700 plastic bottles per filter. It is easy to use. There aren't any chemicals or complicated produces; you just fill it and drink. Aquapure Traveller eradicates bacteria and viruses including E. Coli, polio, hepatitis A and others. It removes waterborne pathogens, including giardia, cryptosporidium, etc. It purges toxic chemicals and heavy metals, and bad tastes, odours and sediment. It's the perfect solution for holiday makers, backpackers, trekkers, business travellers and, , anyone who requires access to pure, fresh water anywhere in the world. Replacement filters are available and can be replaced by simply taking off the old cap and screwing on a new one.
Bimuno Travelaid can help keep the tummy in good health while abroad. This exceptional patented formula has been specially developed for travellers by worldwide specialists in digestive health. Research studies suggest that the unique second generation prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharide formulation of Bimuno Travelaid helps to encourage and sustain a healthy level of your gut’s “good” bacteria (bifidobacteria) preventing “bad bacteria” from becoming established. Furthermore, unlike other prebiotics, you'll find it has unique anti-adhesive properties, which help the body to drive out “bad” bacteria you may have consumed. By this combined effect of maintaining a favourable balance of “good” bacteria and preventing bad bacteria from finding a home you can help to keep your stomach healthy on its travels. Since the protective benefits of Travelaid build over time, it is recommended that you take the product for a week before your departure and each day while you are abroad. Because of its effectiveness, Travelaid is recommended by a large number of travel clinicians and Bimuno is an approved travel industry partner of ABTA.
