Bio-K+ has introduced its On-the-Go Probiotic Capsules — a shelf-stable supplement designed to support gastrointestinal health during travel, when dietary changes and disrupted routines can challenge the body's natural microbial balance. The capsules deliver 12.5, 25, or 30 billion colony-forming units from the brand's proprietary probiotic blend and utilize delayed-release technology to ensure the beneficial bacteria survive stomach acid and reach the intestines, where they can exert their effects.
Scientist Julie Auclair comments: “From evaluating efficacy and mechanisms of action to researching new properties, safety, and stability, as well as searching for the best active ingredients, every effort is made to offer a scientifically supported product that makes a difference in the lives of our consumers.”
Bio-K+'s On-the-Go Probiotic Capsules maintain their potency at room temperature, making them particularly suitable for inclusion in carry-on luggage, beach bags, or toiletry kits without the logistical burden of cold storage.
