Proper digestion of food has a huge impact on every aspect of an animal's health. Probiotics play an important role in supporting digestive health by supplying the "good" bacteria, also known as microflora, that keep the digestive system running smoothly by aiding digestion and processing waste. An imbalanced or inappropriate diet or prolonged use of antibiotics can damage the balance of healthy microflora in the digestive tract leading to chronic health problems such as the overgrowth of potential pathogens, including Candida albicans (also called yeast). This can lead to inflammation, impaired tissue function and a variety of systemic effects.

Probiotic Pearls with patented True Delivery Technology protect the Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum from stomach acids, and guarantee delivery into the intestine, where they are released intact to increase healthy intestinal flora. Unlike other enteric-coated products which offer no on-shelf protection (and only minimal protection against stomach acids), patented True Delivery Technology protects the microflora in Probiotic Pearls from shelf conditions like air and light. Studies show patented Probiotic Pearls deliver up to 900% more intact microflora to the intestine in relation to label claim than 4 leading competitors, including those with enteric coatings.
