Probiotics
Should I refrigerate my probiotics?
With all of our probiotics, a matrix encapsulation process is used, which helps protect and stabilize the probiotics and allows our product to maintain shelf stability without refrigeration.
How do the probiotics survive the stomach acid to get into the intestine?
The probiotics have been grown to be acid resistant so that they can make it through the stomach acid and to the intestine.
What is enteric coating?
Enteric coating prevents the release of active ingredients until they reach the small intestine.
Can customers see the results of the studies that have been done on probiotics, enzymes, or any other active ingredient found in our products?
Studies are available online at sites such as pubmed.gov.
