There are a number of products you can take with you to purify water and prevent diarrhoea whilst travelling. Chlorine dioxide tablets and water purification bottles both purify water, making it safe to drink without leaving a taste. Bimuno Travelaid helps support your stomach in seeing off "bad" bacteria.
Travellers often asked what the best methods are for avoiding unclean drinking water. Boiling water is a tried and tested method, but is not always practical. Here we look at alternatives to boiling water.

Chlorine dioxide tablets are one of 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 teeth and preparing vegetables. There is no need for additional neutralising tablets since chlorine dioxide tablets have no taste. The tablets can be used to treat as much as 30 litres of water and are safe for long term use.

Iodine used to be a very common water treatment and was widely available to purchase in the UK. 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.

The Aquapure Traveller bottle is a handy solution for those with a bit more space in their rucksack. It incorporates new M.A.D. (Mechanically Advanced Disinfection) Technology, a chemical free system that not only does a better job than the original product, but also has a faster flow rate: all without chemicals. The bottle is designed to provide safe drinking water that tastes decent. Its filter cap will purify around 350 litres during its lifetime, and is the only portable water purifier officially endorsed by the Hospital of Tropical Diseases London. It is eco-friendly; by using the Aquapure Traveller, you are helping the environment by not disposing of 700 plastic bottles per filter. It is simple to use. There are no chemicals or complicated produces; you just fill it and drink. Aquapure Traveller removes bacteria and viruses including E. Coli, polio, hepatitis A and others. It removes waterborne pathogens, including giardia, cryptosporidium, etc. It removes toxic chemicals and heavy metals, and bad tastes, odours and sediment. It's the perfect solution for holiday makers, backpackers, trekkers, business travellers and, in fact, anyone who needs access to pure, fresh water anywhere in the world. Replacement filters can be obtained and can be replaced by simply taking off the old cap and screwing on a another one.

Bimuno Travelaid helps keep the tummy in good health while abroad. This truly unique patented formula has been specifically developed for travellers by international experts in digestive health. Medical 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) helping to prevent “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 might 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 tummy healthy. Because the protective benefits of Travelaid build with time, it is recommended that you take the product for 7 days before your departure and each day while you are on your travels. Because of its effectiveness, Travelaid is recommended by numerous travel clinicians and Bimuno is an approved travel industry partner of ABTA.
