Is it true that the new larger sized bottle should be available within 2 weeks?

Can you tell me what the benefits of your KE-99 product is over a competitors (PBH, didn't want to source hopefully you'll figure it out). Gut Health shows 35 caps @ 1 billion organisms per cap @ $14.95 (Nutra price) while PBH shows 60 tabs @ 5 billion organisms per tab @ $14.36 (price with quantity discount). I like ordering from Nutra, but PBH's seems like the better deal and PBH claims to hold the patent on the strain. Am I wrong?

You are correct...we licensed the strain from them in order to take it national.

The product you are looking at is not the liquid filled caps. They use 5 billion organisms because, in dry form, the organisms begin dying immediately. By the time they reach you, there could very well be ZERO live organisms, which doesn't do you a whole lot of good. Most Probiotic formulas require refrigeration in order to slow this process down...the KE-99 liquidgels are hearty enough not to need refrigeration...they feed on and thrive in the oil environment of the capsules.

If you will notice, they have switched to the same NPIB process we use (at a higher price) and theirs are not enteric coated (which means they are subject to exposure to damaging stomach environment).

We improved the product, and are able to take a MUCH lower margin since we sell direct to Nutra...hence the VERY affordable price of Gut Health.

Exactly. The oil preservation alone has impoved upon the original intentions many fold. The aspect of avoiding gastric acid destruction through enteric coating is genius. The product was made better by RPN.

I have a question, do probiotics from other sources such as greens, yogurt, living food bars, etc. affect Gut Health? Will they 'battle' for dominance or do they all get along with Gut Health being the one that's large and in charge?

Most probiotics like matt said are destroyed long before they even get to the intestinal tract to colonize. The probiotic lactobacillus that are contained in yogurt are destryoed long before the can produce any significant benefit. Environmental factors and gastric acid attribute to destruction of most of these probiotic bacteria.

Gut Health was designed for stability at room temperature, and to survive gastric acid destruction via enteric coating. Basically, RPN took the overall probiotic concept and found a way to make it very effective overall.

Thank you for the response Dsade. I am leaning more towards Gut Health now. I'll wait on pricing for the new larger sized bottle. Any idea? Presale at Nutra?

Caps and bottles are done...just waiting on labels, which have around a 4 day turnaround time. The larger size should be delivered within 2 weeks.
