Just Thrive® is the first 100% spore-based probiotic and antioxidant supplement that arrives 100% alive to your intestines that's available in the retail market. 99 % of the probiotic strains in the major sources of probiotics long before those products could even get to the small intestine. Yogurts, Greek Yogurts and the majority of probiotic products on the market do not survive passage through the harsh stomach environment and end up “dead on arrival” to the intestines. These strains have not been specially engineered by enteric coating and other means – instead, they survive naturally. Researchers believe that the antioxidants produced by the bacillus indicus strain (HU36) in Just Thrive® Probiotic are the “heavy hitters” in the formulation and are responsible for helping to combat the oxidative stress on the intestinal lining.
