FAQ
I left the bottle out of the refrigerator overnight. Is it still any good?
Yes, it is still plenty potent. Assuming no extreme (i.e. hot) temperatures, this length of time is not long enough to significantly affect the potency.
Is is better to keep it in the freezer?
No, freezing may lead to some loss of viability. It is best to keep it refrigerated.
Is it safe to take during pregnancy?
Yes, the Jarro-Dophilus Original is very safe to take during pregnancy.
It is safe to take while breastfeeding?
Yes, the Jarro-Dophilus Original is very safe to take while breastfeeding. Morever, some studies have shown that maternal supplementation with probiotics can increase the amount of anti-inflammatory cytokines in breast milk, compounds which are then pass on the nursing infant.
Why do we recommend taking it 20-60 minutes after eating? Shouldn't probiotics be taken before meals?
The issue is the concentration of hydochloric acid (HCI) in the stomach (and thus the pH of the stomach). While it is true that HCI is released in response to the consumption of food, it is also true that on an empty stomach, the pH of the stomach is very low (very acidic environment). Since there is no food present to absort the hydrogen ions released by the acicd, the pH is low and could possibly kill the bacteria faster due to the higher acidity of the empty stomach. By taking it 20-60 minutes after a meal, this will allow time for the pH to rise somewhat (i.e. the acidity to go down) due to the presence of the food in the stomach, and thus allow for higher survivability of the bacteria.
Are there any side effects?
In general, this probiotic formula is very well tolerated.
Can I take more than the recommended dose?
Given how safe these probiotics are, this shouldn't be a problem especially when there may be a greater need. In any case, it's a good idea to check with your doctor.
Is it free of yeast, soy, egg, wheat, gluten, corn, tree nuts, peanuts...?
Yes, the Jarro-Dophilus Original is free of yeast, corn, egg, gluten, wheat, barley, oats, tree nuts, peanuts, and fish, including shelfish.
What is the source of the maltodextrin?
Primarily from corn, although sometimes from rice. (The maltodextrin is 100% pure. No corn protein or rice protein is present, which are the allergens present in corn and rice, respectively. Therefore, no allergic reaction is possible.)
Is it safe for individuals who are allergic to dairy?
There may sometimes be a miniscule amount of dairy present in our finished probiotic products. However, this amount is so trivial that it is virtually impossible for it to cause any allergice (milk/dairy) reaction.
What are the sources for these bacteria?
The strains were selected from human sources and kefir.
Do these bacteria implant and colonize?
Yes, these bacteria do implant and colonize the GI tract. However, if you wish to maintain the same levels that result from supplementing with the good bacteria, supplementation must continue on a regular basis. Due to your innate bacterial profile (i.e. the gut profile that evolved in infancy) and the natural sloughing off of cells from the gut lining, if you discontinue supplementing with the good bacteria, the bacterial profile of the gut will return to baseline (i.e. before supplementation began) within a month or so.
Do these bacteria work in both the small intestines and colon?
The lactobacilli are the dominant, resident, friendly bacteria in the small intestine; the bifidobacteria are anaerobic and are the dominant, resident, friendly bacteria in the colon. Thus, taking a probiotic with both lactobacillus and bifidobacteria species will address the varied microflora profile in both the small intestine and colon.
What is the difference between taking the Jarro-Dophilus Original and the Bifidus Balance?
The Jarro-Dophilus Original includes organisms that implant and colonize in both the small and large intestine. The Bifidus Balance + FOS is specific to the colon (large intestine) and primarily addresses imbalances in this region of the intestinal tract. Bifidobacteria are dominant during infancy, but decline as a child's diet becomes more diverse. Moreover, Bifidobacteria are substantially decreased in the elderly.
Is there such a thing as getting too much of the good bacteria?
This is at least a theoretical possibility. If you were to make too much probiotic bacteria, you may experience flatulence, bloating, diarrhea, or intestinal discomfort. If this occurs, lower your dose of probiotics and/or intake of probiotic-containing foods or beverages.
Can probiotics be taken while on antibiotics? Should I wait until after finishing the antibiotic before taking it? Should I take more than the recommended dose? After finishing the antibiotic, for how long should one take the Jarro-Dophilus Original?
Yes, the Jarro-Dophilus Original can be taken concurrently with antibiotics. However, it should be taken at a separate time (e.g. 2-3 hours either side of the antibiotic). People will often double the normal recommended dose while taking antibiotics and continue for a short time after completing the antibiotic therapy (1-2 weeks).
Can this product be taken indefinitely?
Yes, this product can be taken indefinitely. It is very safe to do so and will continue to promote good health and efficient digestion.
Are these bacteria live?
Yes, the bacteria in this product are live, hence, it should be kept refrigerated.
If it is not enteric coated, how do the bacteria survive the stomach acid? Won't all the bacteria be killed by the stomach acid?
While many bacteria are killed by the acidic environment of the stomach, some bacteria still manage to survive. The human intestinal tract is home to several hundred trillion live bacteria that are present naturally, regardless of whether or not one has ever taken a probiotic supplement. Moreover, bacteria reproduce logarithmically, meaning that they are capable of doubling their numer in short order and repeatedly to yield very significant numbers of live bacteria.
What is the attenuation rate?
If left out of refrigeration at room temperature for one month, the loss, on average, would be 10-20%; the attenuation rates for the 2nd and 3rd months would be the same after which the rate would flatten out and attenuate at much slower rate thereafter. Refrigeration can mitigate the loss to under 5% per month.
How many live bacteria are present at the time of expiration?
Assuming proper handling conditions, we are confident in saying that at the time of expiration the product will have at least 50% of its original claimed potency.
Is it safe to take after the expiration date?
Although the potency will have attenuated, the product is still safe to take. Moreover, the cell wall components of the dead bacteria have been shown to promote healthy immune function.
Does it need to be kept cold or refrigerated during shipping?
It can be out refrigeration for about one week or so without any appreciable loss; during summer months, this time should be limited to 3 days.
Does it need to be refrigerated before opening?
Yes, it should be kept refrigerated before opening.
Are these “human strains”?
When these organisms were first isolated, the bifidobacteria were obtained from human sources. However, all of these organisms are found naturally in the human digestive tract where they implant and colonize. Since humans are sterile at birth (i.e. have no bacteria in their GI tract), humans get these organisms naturally through contact with the external environment and consumption of fermented foods such as kefir/yogurt. Research has shown that these organisms, regardless of the sources, are beneficial to human health.
Any interactions/contraindications?
Antibiobiotics:
Antibacterial drugs can kill of the good bacteria.
Note: Since the dairy and soy peptide residues that may be present in the Jarro-Dophilus Original would be so miniscule, we do not feel that the product is contraindicated for those individuals sensitive to dairy and/or soy.
What are these bacteria grown on?
A nutritive growth media is used to grow the probiotic bacteria. The growth media include casein and soy peptides.
