Bayer Healthcare, Morristown, NJ, has launched two new products: Alka-Seltzer Wake-Up Call, which contains 500 mg of aspirin and 65 mg of caffeine, along with Phillips’ Colon Health Probiotic Supplement, which contains Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.

According to the company, Alka-Seltzer Wake-Up Call delivers temporary relief of minor aches and pains along with fatigue or drowsiness associated with a hangover, and is also effective for headaches, body aches and pains alone. In addition to 500 mg of aspirin and 65 mg of caffeine, each dissolvable tablet contains 415 mg of sodium and 9 mg of phenylalanine. The recommended dosage is two tablets.

Inactive ingredients include: acesulfame potassium, anhydrous citric acid, aspartame, calcium silicate, dimethylpolysiloxane, docusate sodium, flavor, mannitol, povidone, sodium benzoate, sodium bicarbonate

Phillips’ Colon Health Probiotic Supplement “supports a healthy colon,” according to Bayer, by replenishing the good bacteria when diet and stress cause constipation and upset the natural balance, causing bloating, gas and diarrhea. It also “supports a healthy immune system.”

The product is intended for consumers who suffer from irregularity symptoms and it should be taken when stressed, traveling or using antibiotics. Designed for everyday use with a meal, the product claims to contain 1.5 billion live cells that are available up to the date of expiration on the package.
