OPTIMAL DIGESTIVE HEALTH PROTECTION WITH MICROENCAPSULATED PROBIOTICS

OPTIMAL DIGESTIVE HEALTH PROTECTION WITH MICROENCAPSULATED PROBIOTICS

The Digestive System: Where Health Begins
Our digestive system starts at the mouth, goes  through the stomach and intestines, and ends at the anus. Along this complex journey, probiotics need to survive the harsh environment of the stomach to reach the intestines where they can provide their benefits. This survival is critical but highly challenging due to stomach acid and high bile salt concentrations.

Challenges for Probiotic Survival in the Digestive System

  • Harsh pH Environment:
    • The stomach’s pH is extremely low, ranging from 1-3, making it highly acidic and inhospitable for probiotics.
    • In the duodenum, the pH increases to 6-6.5, but high bile salt concentrations (1.5-2% during the first digestion hour) pose another threat to probiotic survival.
  • Decreased Survival Rate: Studies show that probiotics' survival rate decreases significantly with higher bile salt concentrations.

A REVOLUTIONARY SOLUTION: MICROENCAPSULATION TECHNOLOGY

What is Microencapsulation?
This is an advanced method that protects probiotics by coating them with special hydrocolloids. This protective layer shields the beneficial bacteria from harmful environmental factors, such as:

  • Stomach acid and bile salts.
  • Cold shocks, such as prolonged refrigeration and freeze-drying.
  • Oxygen exposure.
  • Heat shocks, such as spray drying.
  • Antibacterial agents and competing bacteria.

KEY BENEFITS OF MICROENCAPSULATION TECHNOLOGY:

  1. Optimal Protection: Probiotics are shielded from stomach acid and bile salts.
  2. High Efficacy: Ensures a higher survival rate of probiotics reaching the intestines compared to non-microencapsulated methods.
  3. Resistance to Environmental Impacts: Protects against oxygen, temperature, and humidity.

LACTOMIN PLUS: A PIONEER IN DUAL-LAYER MICROENCAPSULATION TECHNOLOGY

The Lactomin Plus probiotic supplement employs advanced dual-layer microencapsulation technology, delivering superior results:

1. First Layer:

Made primarily from seaweed extracts and dissolves in water.

The encapsulation process uses water as a solvent and is conducted at low temperatures, preserving the probiotics’ activity.

2. Second Layer:

Dissolves in the intestines, protecting probiotics from stomach acid and oxygen.

Ensures controlled release of probiotics exactly where they are needed, maximizing their effectiveness.

Conclusion: Why Choose Lactomin Plus?

With cutting-edge microencapsulation technology, Lactomin Plus:

  • Protects probiotics from harsh stomach conditions.
  • Delivers a higher concentration of live probiotics to the intestines for maximum benefits.
  • Provides comprehensive digestive health support for the whole family, from children to adults.
