What is a probiotic?
The word probiotic literally means "for life." Probiotics are live microorganisms (either bacteria or yeast) that, when consumed in adequate amounts, have a beneficial effect on the host beyond basic nutrition.
A food is considered probiotic if it contains a sufficient quantity of probiotics and if all probiotic properties are maintained throughout the life of the product (alive in sufficient quantities to provide beneficial effects). ProactivChia is a probiotic chia.

What is the difference between shelf stable probiotics and refrigerated probiotics?
Generally speaking, probiotics react to temperature; the higher the temperature gets, the faster they get inactive so the overall amount of probiotics reduce over time. In the same way, the 2 probiotics strains contained in our ProactivChia are unstable at a high temperature. Since our product is shelf stable, the amount of probiotics it contains reduce throughout its shelf life. To minimize this effect, we add organic sunflower oil in our production process, allowing to isolate the strains and to protect them against more aggressive temperatures. This way, we can preserve our product longer at an ambient temperature. There is no difference between refrigerated and shelf stable probiotics. Our production process is what allows us to offer a shelf stable product. That’s how we can assure that a portion of ProactivChia contains 4 billion of probiotic bacteria.
Why do you add sunflower oil? The Organic sunflower oil is the adhesive for the probiotics on the chia seeds.
Why does ProactivChia contain soy? During the manufacturing of the 2 strains of probiotics included in ProactivChia, cultures are required for development. The cultures we use contain soy.
