Bayer claimed the product can &quot;defend against&quot; occasional constipation, diarrhea and other problems, but did not have reliable scientific evidence to support the description, the U.S. The statement violates a 2007 court order that prohibited Bayer from making unsubstantiated claims about any dietary supplements it promotes or sells, the government said. &quot;Phillips Colon Health is a safe and beneficial probiotic product.</p><br clear="all"/>
