Why is the enteric coating a good thing? If it's desirable, why offer non-enteric-coated capsules?

I am not sure. Given the ingredients I didn't feel that it was dangerous at all. The point is--my son hated the taste. So it rarely even got into his system to see anything positive. So I went to "Vitamin Shoppe" and bought "Attention." They are capsules that are easy to swallow. They seem to work well.

The label states "coated" and that it is "stomach friendly"and "Non-Acidic". It also states "suitable for Vegetarians". I hope this info helps you.

I have to agree with the other answers these are not small pills but they do have a smooth coating that makes them a little easier to swallow. I have a son who cannot swallow pills and he would not be able to swallow these even with the smooth coating.

I will second that, the picture is misleading. Where is the 90 count enteric coated softgels in this?

An emulsified product is better than the capsules - try Coromega3. It is delicious and great for kids!

This curcumin comes in capsule form (think gelatin capsule). As far as I know, only pills in tablet form come with enteric coatings.

No, it is not enteric coated. They are soft gels and do have a distinct "fishy" smell when you open the bottle. I have not noticed any after taste.

If by inoculate, you mean do these microbes establish themselves permanently, I don't think they do. The species in this product are not commensal organisms but rather environmental "soil-based" organisms. Some might last longer than a day, but basically, they exert their effects and pass on. They probably mimic to some degree the types of organisms we ingested prior to our obsession with sanitation and consumption of poison coated vegetables. One of their benefits is probably their regulation of other bacteria and fungi in the gut community. I've read that many of these species are utilized in industry, which is probably why they are available to this manufacturer.

Mainly the flavor. The flavor of the liquid is not great, where as the powder is better tasting, but does have a somewhat chalky texture. It's not bad and I definitely prefer the powder over the liquid form.Also, with the powder you may be able to mix with other supplements like proteins or possibly a powder multivitamin.

I have had no digestive problems with them. The manufacturer states "PB8 PRO-Biotic Acidophilus contains specially selected bacteria that are protected from destructive stomach acids by a special coating applied during its unique production method. The capsules need no refrigeration and contain eight strains of friendly bacteria

These pills are not that big. One is the size of a Tylenol and the other is smaller. They are good vitamins too, they don't cause you to have that bad after taste or the bad burps that others do.

Truthfully I don't remember - I'm now using my usual product from Nature Made which are coated caplets. My store was outwhen I needed more so I tried the NOW FOODS Potassium. If I have trouble swallowing a product I usually remember like aZinc caplet by SUNDOWN - it is a caplet that was so soft that it was impossible for me to swallow and tasted horrible. But to befair, I must say I have trouble swallowing pills and other people may have no trouble with it. I just need a product that is eithera capsule or a coated tablet/caplet.

no, not at all, with coated capsules. I did with the non-coated capsules from NOW.

No- they state that enteric coating prevents it from disolving while in the stomach, which is the key area the fish oil needs to be absorbed from. Second, I have not noticed the fish burp that others have, or that I have with other fish oil pills. They advertise this to be the case, and I will attest to that. Fish burp has been very nasty with some of the other pills I have taken.

If it were time released, it would say on the bottle...I really like this product, and it makes a huge difference when I take them. Very good for regulating the system, and stopping you from bloating.It is hard to find this many strains 10 strain and this many 50 billion in one capsuleOne per day works well for me, especially in combination with a fiber supplement or prebiotics.Now trusted professionals are recommending 100 billion per day. It is very important to have at least 10 strains and up to 14 per capsule. Capsules are best, I do not like tablets, especially in this supplement. I wish Amazon would keep more in stock.
