Probiotic bacteria

The term "probiotic" is derived from the Greek "pro bios" and literally means "pro-life". It is used nowadays to describe the health-promoting action of certain living microorganisms, generally lactic acid bacteria.  These 'good' bacteria are important constituents of a healthy gut flora.

During their passage through our digestive tract, above all else probiotic lactic acid bacteria have to withstand stomach and bile acid, because only then can adequate numbers of them survive to reach the intestine where they can exert their positive effect.

Probiotic bacterial cultures must therefore be resistant in order to exert their health-promoting potential.  In order for the probiotic bacteria to survive and reach the intestine, the patented triple-layer tablet is coated with a film lacquer that offers additional protection against digestive juices and digestive enzymes.
