unique delayed release live bacteria supplement,maximum strength when a higher dose is required,for specific health concerns where a quick result is helpfulacidophilus extra 25 contains two of the most important, and researched, strains of bacteria in human health - lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium bifidum, to create one of the most sophisticated live bacteria products sold in the uk. our expert |nutrition advisors//aadvice//class=f-brand !important| often recommend this formula to those looking for more live bacteria in one easy to take capsule or to those concerned about water or dietary changes when visiting holiday destinations. each of our acidophilus capsules contains 25 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 25 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 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. acidophilus extra 25 billion is suitable for vegetarians not vegans. 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|.
