Travelan
Travelan, a natural, medically proven pre-emptive product, is available without prescription. This revolutionary preparation has been scientifically and medically proven to significantly reduce a person's risk of getting the medical condition known as travellers' diarrhoea.
Travelan contains naturally derived antibodies against the 13 strains of E. coli that are the most common cause of travellers' diarrhoea (TD). These specific antibodies bind to the bacteria in the intestinal tract, significantly minimizing the bacteria's ability to bind to the intestinal wall, thus shielding the user from TD. Travelan is a not an antibiotic, therefore not associated with the usual negative antibiotic side effects.
Travelan enables the traveler, or for those who dine out, to do so with significantly reduced risk of becoming ill due to exposure to very common E. coli bacteria.

In hospital clinical trials in the US and Europe, Travelan has shown up to 90% protection against Enterotoxigenic E, coli (ETEC), the main cause of Travellers' Diarrhoea.
Travelers' Diarrhoea (TD)
TD, otherwise known as: Tourista, Delhi Belly, Montezuma's Revenge, Trots etc., is described as the number one (1) health problem for international travelers in terms of frequency and economic impact.
According to Government and Medical sources, the symptoms of TD include:
- Abdominal bloating, cramps $\&$ pains
- Nausea
- Diarrhoea
- $\bullet$ Fever
Potential Additional Gastrointestinal Indications for Travelan
Anadis is now investigating the use of Travelan for additional gastrointestinal therapeutic indications as a result of positive clinical feedback from a number of healthcare providers, including medical specialists.
Reports to the company indicate that a number of patients with a range of gastrointestinal conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis, have experienced an improvement in some their symptoms (e.g. diarrhoea) whilst taking Travelan to reduce their risk of contracting travellers' diarrhoea.
