Frequently Asked Questions
| Question: | Answer: |
| Why do I need a probiotic supplement? | Things like poor diet, medications, lack of exercise, and even stress directly impact the number of good microbes found in our microbiome. This imbalance keeps us from enjoying life to its fullest. Taking care of our GI tract with VitalBiome helps restore balance. |
| What are the strains used in VitalBiome? | VitalBiome contains 8 beneficial probiotic strains that include: Lactobacillus helveticus (R-52), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BL-04), Bacillus coagulans (MTCC 5856), Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum (R175), Lactobacillus plantarum (LP-115), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BI-07), Saccharomyces boulardii (CNCM I-3799), and Lactobacillus acidophilus (SD5221). |
| What is CFU count and is it important? | CFU, or colony-forming units, is a term often seen in conjunction with probiotic supplements. It is a measurement of viable microbial cells that can replicate to form one visible colony. VitalBiome was formulated to deliver high CFU counts at the time of expiration. |
| What is the CFU count of VitalBiome? | VitalBiome contains over 7 billion CFU per capsule at the time of expiration. |
| What is a delayed-release capsule and why is it important? | VitalBiome utilizes a delayed release capsule that has been engineered to better withstand the harsh acidic conditions found in the stomach. Studies show these capsules take 45 minutes to dissolve while traditional capsules are less than 30 minutes. Protecting probiotics from these harsh conditions insures the maximum number of live probiotics make it to the intestinal tract. |
| Do I need to refrigerate VitalBiome? | It is not necessary to refrigerate VitalBiome. VitalBiome is guaranteed to deliver efficacious amounts of probiotics if stored below 21ºC. |
