Much better and safer! Most enteric coated probiotics are treated with a polymer of acrylic acid, a synthetic chemical. The sodium alginate used to acid-proof Theralac capsules is a natural carbohydrate found in seaweed (patented). NOTE: Studies show that > 99% of unprotected probiotics are killed when exposed to stomach acid for 1 hour, a typical time spent in the stomach.
