In this week’s episode of the NatureCity Podcast, Carl Pradelli—CEO and Co-founder of NatureCity— tackles an often overlooked, but surprisingly critical topic that could significantly impact the potency and effectiveness of your probiotics: how they’re packaged.

Many users don’t realize that elements like moisture, heat, and air exposure are the enemies of live probiotic cells - and can drastically reduce the potency of your probiotic supplement before you’ve even opened the bottle. And it gets worse – each time you open the cap to take a capsule, moisture and air enter the bottle and further destroy probiotic CFU (number of probiotic cells) counts.

Carl reveals the innovative new bottle that you should seek out for your probiotic supplements. Research studies have found it’s far superior to other common packaging options in protecting live probiotics – even after you begin taking the product.

In this episode, you’ll find out:

  • Why traditional probiotic packaging (like standard bottles and blister packs) may not offer enough protection
  • How the Activ-Vial bottle technology helps preserve potency—even after opening
  • What scientific studies say about probiotic degradation in the various probiotic packaging options
  • Why NatrueCity switched to the Activ-Vial bottle for its premium TrueLife PB probiotic/prebiotic supplement blend
  • Other important “must have” supplement features that help ensure the probiotics “arrive alive” and maximize benefits and health impact

If you’re relying on probiotics to support your immune system, digestive health, gut balance, or overall wellness, you don’t want to miss this episode.
