We always aim to use the latest research and evidence, however as new studies emerge every day, some of the latest health and wellness updates may not be reflected in our experience.
This app is for UK residents only; if you are currently based outside the UK, please contact your local medical advisor.\n\nPlease proceed only if you understand and agree to the above.
