ufacture. This is why yogurt falls short on potency—because withou t a guarantee of a minimum cell count at an expiry date, there’s no way to guarantee how mu ch active probiotic bacteria you’re actually eating!
Potent Probiotics Guarante e Potency—Twice! Potent probiotics, on the other hand, guarantee a minimum probiotic cell count at the date of manuf acture and at the date of exp iry. Choosing Potent Probiotics Also, look for three additional factors when choosing the mo st potent probiotics: 1) P ackaged as powders or capsules in glass bottles (protecting the delicat e probiotic bacteria from moistu re and oxygen) 2) Formulated by age or health concern to contain onl y medicinal probiotic strains (str ains with documented health benefits supported by studies in humans) 3) Independently analyz ed for potency and purity Unleash the Power of Pro biotics So, avoid the yogurt myth and unleash the power of probiotics by eating yogurt for its essential nutrients and adding potent pro biotics for digestive wellness.
