What is the patented delivery system that delivers the probiotics and enzymes in TruFlora through the acidic stomach and into the small intestine intact?
The the new TruFlora formula as with Theralac, formula – is protected by a natural carbohydrate from seaweed known as sodium alginate that creates a protective buffered-gel around the probiotics when they enter the stomach. This gel stays intact, forming a protective barrier around the sensitive probiotics and enzymes, until it reaches the small intestine where the probiotics and enzymes are released unharmed and intact. The TruFlora formula is protected by U.S. Patents 7,122,370 and 7, 229, 818.
