Q:
What is the outer coating of the Probiotic Pearls Complete® made of?
A:
The outer coating components are part of the True Delivery™ Technology system, which protects the probiotic bacteria from the harsh stomach acid so that they can be released into the intestines. The coating ingredients, pectin and gelatin, are listed on the label.
Q:
Why does Probiotic Pearls Complete® active cultures contain only 1 billion bacteria? Some other probiotic supplements contain several billion.
A:
Our company offers many different probiotics in different amounts to suit different needs. Probiotic Pearls Complete® offers 1 billion cfu, the general daily recommendation, in a tiny pearl-shaped capsule. This amount confers health benefits because the probiotics are protected from heat, moisture, and stomach acid so they can arrive intact in the intestines.
Q:
What makes Probiotic Pearls Complete® a unique probiotic?
A:
Probiotic Pearls Complete® uses a True Delivery™ Technology which is a revolutionary proprietary “pearl” encapsulating process that protects the probiotic bacteria from stomach acid. This unique encapsulation allows the probiotic bacteria to successfully reach the intestine alive and intact.†
Q:
Why would someone take Probiotic Pearls Complete® instead of Acidophilus Pearls™ active cultures?
A:
Individuals who need more intestinal digestive support would benefit from taking Pearls IC®.† Pearls IC® contains four additional strains of bacteria; Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium breve, and Bifidobacterium lactis. These strains are in addition to the two most clinically studied strains, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum, for a total of six strains. This six strain formula gives comprehensive intestinal care, colon support, and helps restore and maintains healthy digestive balance.†
Q:
Does it matter when I take Probiotic Pearls Complete®?
A:
Take them with meals, between meals, or whenever it is easiest for you to remember.
