Ganeden Biotech's Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, Sean Farmer explains, "GanedenBC30 is a spore-forming probiotic bacterium, meaning that inside the bacterial cell is a hardened structure, or spore, which is analogous to a seed. This spore protects the cell's genetic material from the heat and pressure of manufacturing processes, challenges of shelf life as well as the acid and bile it is exposed to during digestive transit. The viable spore is then able to germinate and produce new vegetative cells once it is safely inside the small intestine. Other 'traditional' probiotic organisms are not able to form these protective spores, making them vulnerable to heat, pressure, shelf life variables and the acid and bile challenges of the digestive system."
The soups can be prepared by microwave or stove-top in less than five minutes by boiling two cups of water and then adding in the soup mix. Each package makes two eight ounce servings.
In addition to the probiotic, GanedenBC30, the new Turtle Island Souper Food soups will contain Omega-3, Co-Q10 and dietary fiber.
