Why Surviving Stomach Acid Matters

When choosing a probiotic, one of the most important questions to ask is:

Can the beneficial bacteria actually survive the journey through the stomach?

Many people don’t realise that stomach acid is one of the body’s strongest natural defence mechanisms. With a pH as low as 1.5–3.5, it is designed to destroy harmful microorganisms before they reach the intestines. While this is essential for our health, it also presents a challenge for probiotic supplements.

Not All Probiotics Reach the Gut Alive

For a probiotic to provide benefits, it must survive three major hurdles:

• The highly acidic environment of the stomach
• Exposure to bile salts in the small intestine
• Competition with the existing gut microbiome

If too few bacteria survive this journey, the effectiveness of the probiotic may be reduced.

How CDS22® Is Designed for Effective Delivery

CDS22® has been developed with these challenges in mind.

Rather than relying on chance, the formulation combines carefully selected probiotic strains with advanced manufacturing processes to maximise the number of live bacteria reaching the intestines.

Key features include:

Carefully Selected Probiotic Strains

The bacterial strains used in CDS22® have been selected for their ability to tolerate acidic and bile-rich environments, helping improve survival during digestion.

High Potency Formula

Each sachet delivers a high concentration of live beneficial bacteria, ensuring that a meaningful number remain viable after passing through the stomach.

Protective Powder Matrix

The probiotic organisms are suspended within a specialised powder matrix that helps buffer them during digestion and supports their journey through the gastrointestinal tract.

Scientific Development

CDS22® has been developed using scientifically validated strains and manufacturing processes designed to maintain bacterial viability from production through to consumption.

Why Gut Health Matters

Your gut microbiome plays an important role in overall wellbeing. A balanced microbiome contributes to normal digestive function and supports many everyday physiological processes.

Maintaining a healthy and diverse gut microbiome is increasingly recognised as an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Getting the Most from Your Probiotic

To help maximise bacterial survival:

• Follow the directions for use provided with the product.
• Store the product as recommended on the packaging.
• Take the probiotic consistently as part of your daily routine.
• Speak with your healthcare professional if you have specific digestive concerns or underlying medical conditions.

The CDS22® Difference

CDS22® has been developed with one goal in mind: delivering a high-quality probiotic formulation that provides live beneficial bacteria where they are needed most.

Because when it comes to probiotics, it’s not simply about how many bacteria are in the sachet, it’s about how many successfully reach the gut.

Healthy bacteria. Smart delivery. Designed with science in mind.
