Kirkman's Children's Chocolate Chewable Pro-Bio Gold offers a comprehensive replacement of six well-recognized, researched and documented probiotic strains to support gastrointestinal (GI) health. These strains that have undergone DNA fingerprinting to support their identity and have also demonstrated long-term stability. More than 65 scientific studies and published articles have been written in support of the strains, documenting the ability of these strains to:

• possess a high tolerance to survive stomach acids and bile salts
• support the body's natural defenses and the intestinal tract's immunological barrier
• help alleviate occasional diarrhea and constipation
• address lactose intolerance issues
• adhere to and colonize the GI mucosal membrane
• assist with regulating intestinal mobility and normal bowel function
• possibly help create an inhibitory effect on free radical activity in the colon

Normally, chewable probiotic formulations are weak, low dosage products because of the fragility of the organisms; however, Kirkman has developed an optimal formulation that is produced under special cold, dehumidified conditions so that the product maintains full potency when compressed into a tablet.

This probiotic supplement contains a combination of the most important "resident" as well as "transient" microorganisms that contribute to maintaining and promoting a healthy GI tract.
