Probiotics help restore the beneficial gut bacteria depleted by poor diet, overuse of antibiotics, or environmental toxins to promote overall health and well-being.
The benefits of certain probiotic strains are reaped when the organisms are available throughout the digestive tract. Unfortunately, powders, liquids, capsules, even cultured dairy products retain only 4% of these sensitive organisms during passage through the stomach's harsh environment.
The good news: Our BIO-tract protection and time-release technology has increased this number to a remarkable 60%. BIO-tract helps ensure that the clinically effective level of our probiotics is delivered throughout the digestive tract.
The BIO-Tract Difference
When the tablet is moistened by gastric fluids, a gel matrix forms that creates a protective layer, shielding beneficial organisms from stomach acids and directing them to release later in their journey.
Once inside the gastrointestinal tract, probiotics begin to release at consistent levels from the tablet core, delivering a potent percentage of living organisms throughout the day and throughout your gut, traveling deep into your intestinal tract where they are needed most.
This is the only controlled-release technology available for probiotics on the market today.
BIO-Tract vs. Enteric-Coated and Veggie Capsules
Most probiotic supplements are in veggie capsules, which offer no protection from a harsh stomach environment, meaning that many of the beneficial organisms do not survive long enough to deliver any benefit.
Enteric-coated probiotic capsules offer some protection from stomach acids with a few drawbacks. Most enteric coatings are made of a synthetic chemical that the capsule is then dipped into. In addition to unwanted added chemicals, the capsule contains air, and the coating contains moisture that is detrimental to the probiotic organisms—freeze-dried probiotic powder is “hygroscopic,” meaning it seeks moisture. The beneficial flora will start wicking the moisture away from the air and the coating, which starts killing the living probiotics inside. Essentially, both veggie capsules and enteric-coated capsules cause the living organisms inside to self-destruct, leading to a far less potent product. Instead of a coating or a capsule, our formulas are made using a proprietary delivery method called BIO-tract, which provide much better protection for the beneficial flora while on the shelf (as there is minimal air and moisture) and as the tablet travels through the harsh environment of your stomach acids. Simply put, this leads to a much more effective probiotic and exponentially greater health benefits for you. Furthermore, BIO-tract ensures that the active organisms are released slowly over an 8-10-hour period while making the journey through the intestinal tract, successfully bypassing your stomach acids so that they can colonize in your small and large intestine, where you need them. Hyperbiotics formulas are naturally derived with a guaranteed shelf life of 18 months from the date of manufacture.

++BIO-tract® delivery technology consistently delivers as many as 15 times, or more, the number of live, viable probiotic organisms past simulated stomach acids than (plain/standard) capsules as repeatedly demonstrated through in vitro lab testing.
