What is an “enterocoated” capsule and is it a good thing?
Enterocoated capsules are very special capsules that aren’t destroyed by the acids of the stomach. It’s like this if you were to put a live bacteria in a regular capsule they would stand a much greater chance of being destroyed by the acids of the stomach. The key is getting as many live bacteria into your intestinal tract as possible. As a side note most probiotics on the market aren’t packed into enterocoated capsules so it’s questionable how many live bacteria are even reaching the intestinal tract. I wouldn’t consider taking any probiotic that isn’t packed in a way that keeps the bacteria somewhat safe from the acids of the stomach. Dead bacteria just won’t benefit you.
