Survivability of nutrilotsTM In An Acidic environment
NutriLotsTM probiotics are innovative nutritional supplements containing Pediococcus acidilactici. Compared to the microorganisms that are commonly used in probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, Pediococcus is much more suited to survive in the acidic environment of the human stomach and is able to reach the gastrointestinal tract with maximal efficiency.
As you can see from the picture above, Lactobacillus is not as viable as Pediococcus since it can only survive at a pH of 6.2.Pediococcus on the other hand is viable at all of the pHs shown (6.2, 2.0, and 1.5). Normally the pH of the stomach is around 1.5 - 2.0, making it crucial that the probiotics are able to survive in low pH levels.
Once the probiotic capsule makes its way through the stomach, its next stop is the small intestine where it helps maintain the proper balance of microorganisms found there. Often when the balance is disrupted, problems with digestion and excretion may result.
A beneficial probiotic must be able to survive in the acidic environment of the stomach in order to reach the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract. Without this ability, efficiency is decreased. NutriLotsTM is capable of surviving at a low pH, which makes it an effective probiotic!
