Oooh, Nadia - interesting....
The stomach is really the acidic environment, so I wonder if the flora capsule was in a buffered delivery system? So, I guess we need to find out where gelatin caps (and, then, vegetarian caps) are broken down - in the tummy or in the small intestine? Also, I wonder where/how they are actually obtaining viability info for this organism once it's in the body? I mean, theoretically, it must be a rather stable organism since it lives within the intestines.
COOL. Thanks for the info!
