Other brands make up for poor quality strains by pumping up the CFU count, but their formulas lose potency when digested. Nutrition Essentials's vegan formula is based on Bacillus Coagulans, a potent strain backed by years of research, and contains 900 billion CFU per bottle.

Most probiotics use Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are solid choices - until they reach the stomach, where their survival rate is only 5-15%. Bacillus coagulans in Nutrition Essentials is dormant under harsh conditions, so it is not killed by stomach acid. It retains its full potency until it reaches the intestines.

CFU decreases by 5% per month when probiotics are improperly packaged in a clear glass. Nutrition Essentials opposes this phenomenon with a FrostProtect bottle that protects against heat, light and oxygen, prolonging effectiveness by up to 62%.

This formula is PH IN-VITRO tested to prevent stomach irritation. Nutri-Fructo B-88 prebiotic has a neutral pH of 6.3.

With added dicalcium phosphate, a gentle, NON-CONSTIPANT alternative to calcium carbonate.
