FAQ
Q: Is it shelf stable
A: Yes
Q:What is the source of the Sorbitol? Mannitol?
A: Sorbitol: Sorbitol is a naturally occurring sweetener synthetically extracted from glucose. Owing to its low calorific value, it is used in pharmaceutical products, sugar-free foods. It is suitable for diabetes patients as it has a lesser tendency to increase the sugar level in the blood. Sorbitol has been declared safe for use by a number of scientific studies. The Joint Food and Agriculture Organization (JECFA) has categorized the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of sorbitol as “not specified,” which is actually the safest category for any food ingredient.
Manitol: Mannitol is another member of the sugar alcohol (polyols) family. Because mannitol is only partially absorbed by the body, it significantly reduces the rise in blood glucose and insulin levels that occur following the ingestion of glucose. The World Health Organisation’s Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has reviewed safety data on the use of mannitol in food and concluded that the polyol is safe.
Q: Is it better to chew the tablet or swallow for absorption in the gut?
A: The tablet supposed to be chewed and consumed with a glass of water. The probiotic has a good resistance to gastrointestinal acid and so it will stay alive and resides in the intestine regardless.
