Additionally, the starch used in our fruit preparations is currently either tapioca or rice starch.

As you know your probiotics so well, you will pleased to know we have measured our colony forming units the correct way and taken the count at the end of shelf life, not at time of packing which is a little bit sneaky. Our CFU count at end of shelf life for just two of our strains alone is over 1,000,000,000!
