How does Florajen survive stomach acid?
Florajen’s pharmaceutical grade gelatin capsules maintain their structure after swallowed, for 35 to 40 minutes. When taken on an ideally empty stomach, the capsule will enter the pH neutral small intestine in 30 to 40 minutes. It’s also very important for the capsule to open up releasing the culture and to begin its work at the beginning of the small intestine. Many enteric-coated capsules open up far too late within the intestinal tract, thereby reducing their effectiveness.
