How do the probiotic cultures in Bion reach the gut alive?

Some products in Bion^® range contain probiotics which are contained in a triple layer tablet that is coated with a protective film. Through the use of specially patented manufacturing techniques, for the first time Merck has been successful in combining probiotics with vitamins and minerals in some of the products within the Bion^® range. The innovative Merck coated triple layer tablet delivery system helps the probiotic bacteria make their journey to the gut.

Before packing into the triple layer tablet, the probiotic are very carefully dried and embedded in a carrier material. Through this technique, they remain active and thus preserved in a living state.
