Hi ,

               The European usage of the term "billion" is unlike that
        adopted in America. This is because an American billion is equal

        to a thousand million,whereas, the European billion equals a
million million.

9
        Expressed mathematically,therefore,an American billion is 10 ,
whereas in
                             12
        Europe it is 10  .  Please be mindful of the standard  adopted
when taking
        or prescribing a probiotic.

        With regards
             Lew
