Be careful with fermented probiotics!<\/h2>\n\n

Live bacteria at the time of production are just the beginning. How many are left by the time the product is used?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Dear Harmonelo Friends, a high number on the label doesn\u2019t tell the whole story. With some liquid fermented probiotics, the number of live bacteria can decrease during storage\u2014sometimes even falling below the stated dose.<\/strong> The composition, the technology used, and storage conditions all play a role.<\/p>\n\n

How can you make sense of all this? Mgr. Radek Netu\u0161il, Ph.D., a biologist and member of Harmonelo\u2019s scientific advisory board,<\/strong> explains what happens to the bacteria in the bottle. He draws on his experience in developing customized probiotics.<\/p>\n\n

From the lab to the TV cameras<\/h3>\n\n

Radek Netu\u0161il graduated from the Faculty of Science at Masaryk University. As a laboratory director, he helped develop customized probiotics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

He also shares his experiences with<\/strong> the general public. Check out his TV appearances and interviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Why does Harmonelo have its own stabilizing solution?<\/h3>\n\n

We have developed our own stabilizing solution for our customized liquid probiotics. <\/p>\n\n

Although production is more expensive, it serves a clear purpose: to protect the viability of the bacteria throughout the entire shelf life when stored according to recommendations.<\/strong> In this presentation, you\u2019ll learn why stability matters.<\/p>\n\n

Ask about the number of live bacteria per dose when taking the product. The manufacturer\u2019s specifications alone are not enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Set aside 26 minutes. Dr. Netu\u0161il will explain the connection between fermentation, stability, and the information on the label. This provides a useful foundation for making your own choices and for discussing these topics with customers.<\/p>\n\n
