Acidophilus Extra 10 Billion

This is a much stronger version of our original Acidophilus 4 Billion, one of the first live bacteria products sold in the UK and still one of the best quality, most sophisticated products available. We use strains of live bacteria that were originally isolated from humans and so are far more at home in our digestive system than the live bacteria we consume in the form of live yoghurt. In fact live yoghurts are not always that abundant with live bacteria, and so each of these capsules provides the quantity of bacteria equivalent to 20 pots of some yoghurts.

Nature’s Best was one of the first companies to supply live bacteria capsules in the UK (over 20 years ago), so we have developed an expertise in this area. As a result of this, an independent study found our live bacteria was one of the few tested that contained the species and the strength of bacteria claimed on the label. Live bacteria capsules only work if they are kept alive in a state of ‘suspended animation’ so that after swallowing they are still viable. Nature’s Best uses sophisticated processes to ensure that these bacteria remain alive whilst in their packaging. 

Delayed release capsules - To protect these acid sensitive bacteria from the low pH of the stomach, there is a sophisticated, but vitally important process. The unique delayed release properties built into the capsule shell slow the capsule from opening, so that complete release does not start until approximately 45 minutes after swallowing. Their low moisture content further enhances stability so that the live bacteria are released into the small intestine where conditions are ideal for them to replicate and grow
