1000x More Probiotics To your Gut!
Global probiotic challenges...
Less than 4% of label probiotics actually reaches the gut!
1. Minimum Viable Cells
According to FAO/WHO recommendations, for a probiotics to declare claims of health benefits, it must contain a concentration of 10 6 to 10 7 CFU (Colony Forming Units) of viable probiotic bacteria.
2. Probiotics shelf-life
There is gradual deterioration and loss of bacteria while awaiting customer purchase at the shelf due to oxidation and other stress that impacts on the live bacteria. Water (moisture), high temperatures and oxygen have been regarded as the " enemies of stability ".
3. Tolerance of Stomach Acid (pH=2)
Most probiotics do not survive the harsh acidity in the stomach
at pH below 2
(Highly Acidic).
Lactobacilli spp. has been shown to only
survive between 30 seconds to several minutes
under these conditions. Gastric acid is first-line defence against bad bacteria (pathogens) as well as good bacteria (probiotics).
Who are the culprits?
Exposure to elements
Heat, Moisture (water) and air (oxygen)
High Temperature (Heat)
Exposure to heat reduces the viability of the good bugs (probiotics)
Moisture (Water)
Absorption of moisture activates the probiotics and subsequent death after a while
Oxygen / Air
Similarly, air/oxygen will activate the growth of probiotics before consumption
Poor Delivery Mechanisms
Challenges in delivery of probiotics to the colon
Gastric acid resistant capsule
Some capsules pass GI without opening up and end up being passed out in stool
High stress and degradation of probiotics
Most delivery processes end up killing the very live bacteria they are protecting
Use of solvents in micro-encapsulation
Use of solvents tend to kill the good bugs(probiotics) during the encapsulation process
Velobiotics - CSIR - Novel microencapsulation technology for Probiotics
Globally Patented Technology
SCO 2 Microencapsulation Technology.
How does this benefit your gut?
Shelf Stability
You are guaranteed that the label claim (e.g. 10 Billion CFU) is what you are consuming despite being on the shelf for a few months.
Heat Stability
Probiotics are protected from exposure to heat, moisture and elements, that would otherwise destroy them before consumption.
Acid Tolerance
Protect the probiotics and make them resistant to the low gastric pH which indiscriminately eliminates all bacteria, good or bad.
Overcoming probiotics' challenges, one at a time...
Velobiotics has conquered the age-old issues facing probiotics!
1. Heat Stable Probiotic EncapsulationVelobiotics microencapsulation with SCO2 technology
appreciably improves stability & viability of probiotics at 30 degrees Celsius .Read More...
2. Shelf-life Stability of Probiotics
Velobiotics™ allows the supply of a stable probiotic formulation in areas where proper storage, refrigeration or degradation at room temperature is uncommon.
3. Resistance to Stomach Acid
Velobiotics encapsulation matrix is stable at low pH (acidic), but disintegrates at higher pH (alkaline), triggering the
release of the probiotics in the colon where they are most needed.
