The active bacteria in Pure Essentials Lacto-Dophilus are from biocultured strains, to ensure maximum implantation and function. These ten, curated strains of probiotics are harvested at their most dynamic, active growth stage and then rapidly freeze dried, which puts the bacteria into suspended animation. This makes Pure Essentials probiotics viable for long periods of time. In contrast, many other probiotic supplements wait for the highest density of bacteria, even though many starve to death in the production vat. In this way, Pure Essentials’ complex process delivers a more potent product.

Billions of bacteria—over 400 species—live in the human body. Most of them can be found in the digestive tract, and there are many reasons why they may need replenishing. For instance, if you have ever taken antibiotics, these medications eradicate good as well as bad bacteria, leading to complications, such as yeast infections, poor digestion, constipation, diarrhea or nausea. Additionally, as individuals age, digestive malfunctions become more common. Breakdowns in the digestive tract are linked not only to antibiotic use, but also to unhealthy diets, food allergies, heartburn, gastritis, ulcers, hemorrhoids, flatulence, and constipation.
