What does D5 mean?
D5 is a decimal dilution: the original material is diluted 1 in 10 five times, giving one part in 100,000. D3 and D4 are less dilute; D6 and above are more dilute. The D number tells you the potency, not the amount of drops to take.
Is the English version different?
No. The product is the same, made by the same company. The German leaflet in the box gives directions for adults and children over 12, usually 5 drops once or twice daily. If you would like help reading the leaflet, contact us.
