The bacterial strains offered by Solgar are alive. All strains are made from the first passage.
The bacterial strains used by Solgar are resistant to high levels of gastric acidity, but for additional protection of the products in this series, encapsulation in microcapsules made of a polysaccharide matrix has been used, which increases their ability to survive in the digestive system.
The capsule dissolves very quickly and the polysaccharide gel in the capsule forms a protective matrix around the bacteria. This gel is resistant to gastric acid and dissolves only in the less acidic environment of the duodenum, where the bacteria are released to fulfill their function in the digestive tract.
The new strains were tested in an acidic environment similar to the stomach environment and found that they can survive for two hours.
So, unlike ordinary probiotics, they can be taken with a meal.
