Digest Number 4356 Liquid Probiotics

[Guest guest]

I found this information on the net - thought you might find it useful

 

" Liquid: As virtually all liquid Probiotics lose their potency within two weeks after they are produced, they should be avoided. (Most liquids don’t even make it to store shelves within that period of time.) Liquid acidophilus, for example, must be handled like a perishable dairy product, with distinct expiration dates and strict refrigerated handling at all time. The reality is that liquid acidophilus products are generallyhandled like powdered supplements, with little or no refrigeration and a pull date that is often one year or longer after packaging. Some companies resort to adding buffering agents to prevent the product from becoming sour or bitter. Such additives interfere with the bacteria’s optimum performance.

Overall, liquid Probiotics are the most misrepresented products on the market. They provide little, if any, benefits to the consumer. More stringent standards must be maintained and adhered to by manufacturers."
