Probiotic
Advantage®
A Probiotic.org Expert Product Review
|
Product Overview |
Probiotic Advantage is advertised as a
supplement which gives “stronger
benefits for your digestion, immunity,
and overall health.” Because digestive
issues are often caused by fewer good
bacteria in the intestinal tract as an
individual gets older, this product can
replenish the diminishing live active
cultures in order to maintain the
balance necessary for good health. This
supplement works within the first two
weeks of adding it to the daily routine. |

Method of Delivery |
The ten
strains of probiotics contained in this
supplement are enclosed in a beadlet
with three outer coatings. This triple
protection allows the bacterial cultures
to pass through the stomach acid intact
to deliver the probiotics to the
intestines where they will work.
According to the manufacturer, the
natural gelatin and pectin layers
surrounding the live active cultures
create a hundred percent acid-resistant
shell. Because of this coating, the
active cultures are not exposed to
oxygen or air, and the vegetable oil
inside this shell keeps the cultures at
the proper temperature to increase
freshness. The beadlets come in bottles
of thirty. |
|
Inactive Ingredients |
Besides
the beneficial probiotic strains, this
product also contains palm oil, gelatin,
soy lecithin, glycerin and pectin. |
