unique delayed release live bacteria supplement,people balancing busy lifestyles,holiday destinations with the change of diet/wateracidophilus extra 10 billion is one of the most sophisticated live bacteria products sold in the uk. we often recommend this high-strength formula to people balancing busy lifestyles or those concerned about water or dietary changes when visiting holiday destinations. each of our acidophilus capsules contains 10 billion live bacteria, originally isolated from humans and far more at home in our digestive system than the live bacteria in yoghurt. to protect these acid-sensitive bacteria from the low ph of the stomach, we\'ve encapsulated acidophilus extra 10 billion in delay-release capsules. these unique properties slow the capsules from opening, ensuring the complete release doesn\'t start until approximately 56 minutes after swallowing. the casings\' low moisture content further enhances stability, which means the live bacteria are released into the small intestine, where conditions are ideal for replicating and growing. at nature\'s best, we prefer acidophilus capsules to acidophilus tablets. unlike tablet equivalents compressed into moulds, creating heat and compromising viability capsules preserve the delicate \'live\' bacteria. acidophilus capsules only work if the bacteria are kept alive in a state of \'suspended animation\' so they\'re still viable after swallowing. we use an advanced process to ensure the bacteria remain active in their packaging: we\'ve designed a sophisticated, high-density, moisture-resistant tube to protect the capsules from light and moisture, which keeps the bacteria viable. this sharp attention to detail means we can guarantee a 24-month shelf life. we manufacture and package our formula in uk factories working to good manufacturing practice (gmp) to ensure our strict quality standards are met. want to learn more? drop a line to one of our expert |nutrition advisors//aadvice//class=f-brand !important|. just click the \'nutrition advice\' button located at the bottom right-hand corner of our website to start a live chat with a member of our nutrition team.find out more about eating for a healthy gut |here//b478//class=f-brand !important|.
