Jarro-Dophilus EPS Ultra Potency 50 billion 30 capsules is the ultimate travelprobiotic with a high potency shelf-stable travel probiotic due to its stability at room temperature and enteric coating, which makes it ideal for travelling.
Eight (8) different strains of probiotic bacteria are delivered directly into the small intestines where probiotic bacteria fully exert their beneficial effects. Probiotic bacteria in Jarro-Dophilus EPS Ultra Potency are selected from the following 4 genera: Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria, Lactococcus and Pediococcus.

• Bifidobacteria longum BB536 (morinaga strain) has been shown to colonize, stimulate immune  response and suppress intestinal foreign bacteria
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011 is a unique, high producer of polysaccharides that facilitate colonization and stimulate intestinal immune response
• Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 assists in breaking down lactose (milk sugar) which may improve digestion of dairy products
• Lactococcus and Pediococcus help reduce spoilage caused by undesirable bacteria in cultured dairy products

benefits
• promotes healthy gut microflora
• 8 documented strains
• room temperature stable, ideal for travelling
• 50 billion organism per capsule
• enterically coated capsules

background reading

Jarro-Dophilus 50 Billion
Growing awareness of the relationship between beneficial bacteria and human health has caused interest in probiotics to propagate exponentially. Jarrow Formulas ® has supported probiotic research and innovation for over three decades.
Jarro-Dophilus EPS® Ultra Potency 50 Billion has been designed to respond to consumer demands for an even higher potency version of the year-after-year, best-selling Jarro-Dophilus EPS.

New Science, Old Wisdom
In recent years, tools that were developed as part of the Human Genome Project (such as shotgun sequencing) have been applied to unlocking the microbial puzzle of the human gastrointestinal tract. Sorting out this huge amount of information and its implications has been the undertaking of the Human Microbiome Project.

But a few interesting observations have already surfaced, thus influencing new research and reinforcing old advice. For example, evidence suggests that people with common digestive disturbances often have diminished microbial diversity. Much like a forest or farm ecosystem, our intestinal health appears to be strengthened from variety. Jarrow Formulas has been touting the practical wisdom of consuming multi-strain probiotics, such as the eight strains found in Jarro-Dophilus, for decades. In fact, we introduced the concept to health food stores in 1986!

It’s The Strains
All bacteria are not created equal. Even different strains within the same species can have disparate effects. This is similar to how two breeds of dogs, such as a chihuahua and a pit bull, can be members of the same species yet be very different. And this is why Jarrow Formulas does two things. First, we select strains to create complementary probiotic action. Even more importantly, we label all of our probiotic organisms with their strain designation because we utilize clinically-documented strains from the world’s best probiotic suppliers. Such transparency is your assurance of quality.

Enhanced Potency: 50 Billion Organisms Per Cap
At the time of consumption, Jarro-Dophilus EPS Ultra Potency supplies 50 billion viable organisms per capsule (when kept according to recommended storage conditions through the “Best Used Before” date). With refrigeration, although it is not required, Jarro-Dophilus EPS 50 Billion will exceed this end of shelf-life minimum. With Jarrow Formulas probiotics, you can rest assured that the number on the front of the box is not merely the amount that went into the capsule at the factory. The combination of strain selection, manufacturing and packaging technology ensures the overall stability of Jarro-Dophilus EPS 50 Billion.

Life Or Death: EnteroGuard® Coating
The acidic environment of the stomach has dual functionality. The low pH environment accelerates the digestion of food while also acting as a protective barrier from harmful bacteria. Unfortunately, this presents a challenge to beneficial bacteria. Depending on the organism, upwards of 95% can die off during transit through the stomach when acid levels are at their highest. But with the food-based EnteroGuard® coating, nearly 100% of the 25 billion CFU are ushered to the intestines unharmed.

Jarro-Dophilus EPS® Ultra Potency 50 Billion is room temperature stable and does not require refrigeration. Refrigeration will, however, extend shelf- life. Not just any strains, those found in EPS have been clinically- documented to improve the properties of the intestinal microflora, promote intestinal health, and support immune response.
