FAQ
What makes Probioform so different?
The reason many practitioners and doctors recommend Probioform is its naturally complete probiotic environment, consisting of probiotic lactic acid bacteria, soil-based organisms, wild yeast, enzymes, minerals, and beneficial acids. Unlike freeze-dried pill and powder probiotics, where the living environment is removed, Probioform is produced through fermentation at multiple temperatures, with the final stage completed at body temperature. This results in faster action and a long shelf life that remains stable at room temperature — no refrigeration is needed, even after opening. Other liquid probiotics often spoil just five weeks after opening. Probioform remains stable for up to one year (some natural taste changes may occur as the pH gradually decreases).
Have the bacteria been freeze-dried?
No. The bacteria in Probioform have never been freeze-dried. They are live and active and begin working immediately in the stomach — unlike pills and powders, which can take many hours to activate, if they even survive the stomach acid.
Is the probiotic gluten-free and sugar-free?
Yes, Probioform is both gluten-free and sugar-free, as well as free from any other allergens. It is therefore suitable for those following Keto, Paleo or Carnivore diets.
Is it vegan?
Yes. All our products are suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. No animal products are used in production. Even the colors used on the packaging are from vegan sources.
What is the pH level of Probioform?
Probioform has a pH in the range of 3.0–3.7. This is important to ensure the bacteria can survive the stomach acid, which has a pH of approximately 2.4.
Does Probioform contain prebiotics such as inulin or FOS?
Yes, Probioform is both gluten-free and sugar-free, as well as free from any other allergens. It is therefore suitable for those following Keto, Paleo or Carnivore diets.
How does glyphosate affect our intestinal walls?
In the gut, glyphosate and other herbicides and pesticides act as powerful zonulin stimulators. They damage the epithelium and tight junctions upon contact, weakening the protective barriers against environmental toxins. Damage to these tight junctions can lead to increased intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”). This can trigger an acute inflammatory response that may become chronic as the body becomes overwhelmed by toxins leaking through the intestinal wall.
How does Probioform differ from other probiotics?
The effectiveness of probiotics is not primarily about the number of billions of microbes, but rather the diversity and combination of microbial species. While lactic acid bacteria are dominant in the gut, they cannot thrive without the natural symbiosis they share with wild yeast and beneficial acids that help create the right pH environment. In nature, bacteria live together in complex symbiotic communities. Probioform closely mirrors the natural variety of beneficial microbes found in fermented and wild foods, rather than containing just one or two isolated, freeze-dried strains. The unique combination of microbes and their living environment is the key to Probioform’s success.
The bacterial count (CFU) in Probioform is lower than in other probiotics. Why?
The number of bacteria (CFU) and survival rate are mainly concerns with isolated, freeze-dried powder and pill probiotics. These isolated strains are fragile and need extremely high counts because only a small percentage survive stomach acid. Probioform uses a diverse consortium of multiple strains and classes of microbes that have been grown together and must compete with each other — making them far more robust and adaptable. They already live in a low pH environment (3.0–3.7), so they are well-prepared to survive the acidic conditions of the stomach.
Does the low pH in the stomach destroy the good bacteria before they reach the colon?
No. The natural microorganisms in our gut arrive there through the food we eat. Probioform’s pH range of 3.0–3.7, created mainly by lactic acid, provides the ideal environment for these bacteria. This allows them to survive the stomach’s acidic conditions.
Why does the stomach have such low stomach acid (pH 1.5–3.5)?
One of the primary functions of stomach acid is to act as a sterilizing and disinfecting agent. The low pH kills or inactivates most pathogens that enter with food. In addition, stomach acid plays a critical role in breaking down the foods we eat. It denatures (unfolds) dietary proteins, making them easier to digest, and activates the enzyme pepsin, which begins breaking proteins into smaller peptides. Stomach acid also supports minor initial fat digestion via gastric lipase, which starts breaking down some triglycerides before food moves into the small intestine. Proper chewing helps maximize these processes by increasing surface area and mixing food thoroughly with the acid.
Why do probiotics in powder and pills struggle to survive low stomach pH?
Most conventional probiotics are laboratory-grown pure cultures raised in a high-pH environment. They tend to be fragile and, after being freeze-dried, often cannot handle the sudden drastic drop in pH when they reach the stomach.
Why isn’t Probioform affected by low stomach acid?
Probioform’s beneficial bacteria are extremely robust. They have never been freeze-dried and already live in a low-pH solution (3.0–3.7). The multi-strain composition also makes them highly adaptable across a wide range of pH levels.
What is a colon implant?
A colon implant is a small amount of concentrated liquid solution introduced into the colon through the rectum. The solution is retained for a period of time (from several minutes up to overnight, depending on what the body allows). Adding a small pinch of salt can help the colon retain the solution more easily.
Using Probioform during pregnancy
How does a cesarean section affect a baby’s natural probiotic development?
Babies born via cesarean section do not pass through the birth canal and therefore miss exposure to the same variety and concentration of beneficial bacteria. As a result, they tend to have fewer beneficial bacteria, and the gut flora that develops is both different and less effective. In this scenario, it could be beneficial to introduce a high-quality, live liquid probiotic to the baby.
How are good bacteria transferred to the baby during birth?
During a natural vaginal birth, beneficial bacteria from the mother’s birth canal are transferred to the baby. These quickly colonize the infant’s digestive, respiratory, and genitourinary systems, acting as the “seed” for the developing microbiome. This early colonization provides important immune, digestive, and overall health benefits.
Secure Payment
How long does it take to process an order?
1. Standard Online Orders
- When you place an order, the first step is payment confirmation. This usually happens instantly with credit/debit cards or e-wallets. Bank transfers can take 1–2 business days.
- Next is packing and preparation for shipment. Depending on the store size and order volume, this usually takes 1–3 business days.
- Overall, standard orders are typically processed within 2–5 business days before shipping.
2. Special or Customized Orders
- For personalized items, made-to-order products, or electronics that require assembly, processing takes longer due to production or quality checks.
- These orders usually take 5–10 days to be ready for shipment.
3. International Orders
- Besides internal processing, international shipments go through customs clearance and other import/export procedures.
- Internal processing may be similar to standard orders, but total delivery time can range from 7–21 days or longer, depending on the destination country and shipping service.
In summary:
- Standard orders: 2–5 days
- Customized orders: 5–10 days
- International orders: 7–21 days or longer
