Palm oil is a natural plant product that is produced from the fruit of the oil palm, or Elaeis Guineensis tree. The exact amount of palm oil in Pearls® Elite™ Extra Strength Probiotics is proprietary. However, it is a miniscule amount per pearl; the amount is less than the weight of an apple seed.
Palm oil in Pearls® Elite™ Extra Strength Probiotics actually “seals” the probiotic bacteria in the capsule, which protects them from air. Probiotic bacteria are anaerobic, meaning they do not require oxygen to live. In fact, the presence of oxygen can actually injure or kill probiotic bacteria. In addition, the palm oil's ability to seal the bacteria in the capsule eliminates the need for the nutritional supplement to be refrigerated – though they can be kept in the refrigerator if desired.
The gelatin in Pearls® Elite™ Extra Strength Probiotics is derived from fish (tilapia).
Take them with meals, between meals, or whenever it is easiest for you to remember.
Integrative Therapeutics is committed to stewardship and sustainability in the service of positive social and environmental outcomes. The fact that Enzymatic Therapy does not purchase wild harvest and strives to cultivate sustainable vendor relationships are two examples of this commitment. We have and continue to implement procedures company-wide to improve our efficiency and in turn, reduce our carbon footprint. Palm oil is an important ingredient in Pearls® Elite™ Extra Strength Probiotics and plays an crucial role in the True Delivery™ Technology. Put in perspective, the amount of palm oil found in Pearls® Elite™ Extra Strength Probiotics is very small - far less than the amount found in one commercially manufactured cookie. The level is insignificant and when compared to other uses of palm oil, doesn’t have a substantial impact on the palm oil supply and subsequently on deforestation.
Individuals with fish allergies should not take Pearls™ products with gelatin from Tilapia.
Digestive balance is key to overall health and wellbeing. That said, there are many things that can impact the balance of good bacteria in your intestinal tract, including stress, travel, diet and age, just to name a few. That’s why it’s important to replenish your digestive system on a regular basis through a healthy diet, exercise and a probiotic supplement, like one of our unique Probiotic Pearls™ formulas.
Probiotics are transient ‘guests’ within our digestive tract. Therefore it’s a great idea to make probiotics a part of your daily routine to help maintain digestive balance and support immune health.* So keep inviting them back – they’re great guests!
By definition, probiotics are live microorganisms. As such, moisture, as well as the acidic environment of the stomach, can be detrimental to probiotics. That’s why Probiotic Pearls™ are encapsulated in a triple-layered softgel that helps protect the active cultures from stomach acid. The Pearls triple-layer technology offers superior protection versus standard capsules to better help deliver probiotics to the intestine.
The unique triple layer softgel helps protect the microflora from stomach acid and releases them in the intestine. The probiotics in our Probiotic Pearls™ supplements survive these harsh conditions and deliver the healthy flora where you need it. That’s a pretty amazing feat—after all, your stomach is roughly a million times more acidic than water!
CFU is an acronym used on the labels of most probiotic containing products. It refers to "colony forming unit" and is a measurement used by microbiologists to denote the amount of active cultures, or good bacteria, found in a probiotic product.
