Today, taking probiotics is not confined solely to eating yoghurt or frozen foods, since probiotics are available nowadays in many forms. These include liquid, tablet, powder and capsule forms aside from the traditional ones. Thus the choice of which form to use depends on the advantages of each form, which usually leads to probiotics in the dominant capsule form.
The choice is actually not very difficult to make. Probiotic capsules have many advantages over other forms, the most obvious being convenience: capsules are the easiest to consume and the easiest to store. You can place the capsules in your bag or purse among your cosmetic items and it will be snug as a cat by the fireplace. But it must be for short durations only, because most probiotics cannot survive in hot environments. Probiotics made in capsule or tablet forms are often freeze-dried to enhance stability in form and contents while in transit from the factory or laboratory to the drugstore or supermarket shelf.
This is vital to probiotic 'logistics' because if the probiotic formulations are unstable during transit the bacteria contained in the capsules might be harmed and therefore rendered useless,Beats By Dr Dre Studio. However, probiotics in capsule form are contained in sealed gelatin capsules within sealed blister packs in small packaging inside large corrugated cartons. Hence, protection is four-layered, from the large carton to capsule skin itself. As such you are assured of the stability of the probiotic formulation contained in capsules. Moreover, the capsules being relatively light, shipping and handling is also no problem: the cartons or containers can be handled roughly without causing any kind of alteration in the product's contents.
Another advantage probiotic capsules have is its stability during its move from the mouth to the stomach or intestine. Bear in mind that probiotics are bacteria ---though 'good' bacteria, they are still bacteria--- and subject to attacks by the antibodies as well as the bile and gastric acids of the stomach and intestines. In many other supplement forms, a good part of the probiotic formulation dies thus, and only a small remnant gets to the small intestine where they should stay. But probiotics in gelatin capsules are impervious to the onslaughts of these acids and antigens as the capsule goes to the intestines, where it finally disintegrates to release the probiotics bacteria.
An additional requirement of probiotics supplements is the bacterial content. If the supplement does not contain an adequate amount of bacteria, there may not be any significant benefit. Capsules are tightly packed with the probiotic bacteria, so that each capsule may contain as much as 20 billion bacteria. While some portion of this volume gets out of the body system, much remains to offset the action of 'bad' bacteria that produce toxins and cause disease in the digestive tract.
Probiotic capsules are the most preferred probiotics supplement for good reason. They are the most convenient and beneficial form of supplementation allowing for more beneficial bacteria to enter the gut.
