We test for and guarantee a minimum potency at both manufacture and time of expiry.
We don’t use any gimmicky pinch of prebiotic powder in our formulas. The best prebiotics to encourage probiotic growth are likely already in your diet: fiber; seaweeds; fruits and vegetables like bananas, avocados, artichoke and asparagus; and starchy, tuberous vegetables like yams and cassava are best. But anything with fiber and starch works! I’m sure you’re wondering what technological manufacturing wizardry allows them to exist in your back pocket and not the refrigerator—what makes them shelf-stable?- Higher overage - an excess or surplus of probiotics in order to guarantee label-claimed amounts at expiry
- The strain combination of the formula - they get along with each other
- The excipient system - more “non-medicinal” ingredients that support stability and potency
- An extra drying step when they are made - probiotics and moisture don’t mix well outside of the body
