Frequently Asked Questions

How much palm oil is in Pearls® Complete Probiotic? Why is it in the product?

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® Complete Probiotic 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® Complete Probiotic 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.

What is the outer coating of the Pearls® Complete Probiotic made of?

The outer coating components are part of the True Delivery™ Technology system, which protects the probiotic bacteria from the harsh stomach acid so that they can be released into the intestines. The coating ingredients, pectin and gelatin, are listed on the label.

Why does Pearls® Complete Probiotic active cultures contain only 1 billion bacteria? Some other probiotic supplements contain several billion.

Our company offers many different probiotics in different amounts to suit different needs. Pearls® Complete Probiotic offers 1 billion cfu, the general daily recommendation, in a tiny pearl-shaped capsule. This amount confers health benefits because the probiotics are protected from heat, moisture, and stomach acid so they can arrive intact in the intestines.

What makes Pearls® Complete Probiotic a unique probiotic?

Pearls® Complete Probiotic uses a True Delivery™ Technology which is a revolutionary proprietary “pearl” encapsulating process that protects the probiotic bacteria from stomach acid.  This unique encapsulation allows the probiotic bacteria to successfully reach the intestine alive and intact.†

Why would someone take Pearls® Complete Probiotic instead of Acidophilus Pearls™ active cultures?

Individuals who need more intestinal digestive support would benefit from taking Pearls IC®.†  Pearls IC® contains four additional strains of bacteria; Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium breve, and Bifidobacterium lactis.  These strains are in addition to the two most clinically studied strains, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum, for a total of six strains.  This six strain formula gives comprehensive intestinal care, colon support, and helps restore and maintains healthy digestive balance.†

What is the source of the gelatin in Pearls® Complete Probiotic?

The gelatin in Pearls® Complete Probiotic is derived from fish (tilapia).

Is it okay to take more than the recommended dose of Pearls® Complete Probiotic?

Recent research on probiotics has suggested that many people can take daily dosages in amounts far in excess of the 1 billion CFU per day delivered by Pearls® Complete Probiotic. While the optimal daily dose is unknown and may vary from person to person, studies have looked at doses as high as 100-200 billion cfu/day. It is always a good idea to confer with your health care professional when deciding what daily dose of probiotics may be optimal for you.

Does it matter when I take Pearls® Complete Probiotic?

Take them with meals, between meals, or whenever it is easiest for you to remember.

Should individuals with fish allergies take the Pearls™ products that contain gelatin from Tilapia?

Individuals with fish allergies should not take Pearls™ products with gelatin from Tilapia.

Why Should I Take a Probiotic Supplement?

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.

How Often Should I Take a Probiotic Supplement?

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!

How Important is Probiotic Stability and Survivability?

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.

Why is a triple layer softgel better than a standard gelatin capsule?

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! 

What Does CFU mean?

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.
