How do the oral supplements containing prebiotics and probiotics survive the hydrochloric acid in the stomach?

Probiotics and prebiotics very well may not survive the stomach. All those claims about your yogurt helping your digestion may very well be bunk- if the bacteria can't make it through your stomach, a lot of good they'll do you in your intestines. I haven't investigated oral supplements, but if these are enteric coated, they might be able to make it, in theory. Enteric coating is an especially strong coating which is designed to make it through the harsh acid of the stomach without digesting completely. Only once it reaches the intestines will it dissolve. It has been suggested in a study carried out in the US that Probiotics whether dead or alive can improve gut health.
