Probiotics are naturally occurring friendly bacteria which are essential to keep a healthy digestive system. Altered bowel flora has long been associated with many medical conditions. Probiotics promote the production of healthy bowel flora through the small intestine. LIVECOUNT© technology assures maximum colony counts and prolonged shelf life. GASTRO-defense© technology protects fragile probiotic organisms from destructive stomach acid, which prevents the destruction of the probiotic bacteria until it reaches the small intestine. Dr. Becker's Pro-Biotic Plus ensures maximum delivery of live organisms to the lower intestinal tract over an extended timeframe, helping to ensure the optimal release of beneficial probiotic organisms. Pro-Biotic Plus is undoubtedly the leader in probiotic supplementation. Take 2 caplets up to three times daily.
