Why is the probiotic content in your product so low compared to others?

The products that contain high doses of probiotic strains ranging from 20-50 billion cfu, are destroyed by stomach acids and only 5 billion are absorbed. Unlike these products, we use potent doses of microencapsulated probiotic strains ranging from 1-8 billion cfu. Microencapsulation technology ensures that the bacteria are not destroyed by stomach acids and reach the gut alive. In fact, our probiotic strains have a 5 times higher gastrointestinal survival rate than uncoated freeze-dried probiotics due to their microencapsulated form, making them potent and effective. Below is a research paper link to show the efficacy of microencapsulated probiotic strains: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20697290/
