Are the probiotics in BDR live probiotics?Updated 2 hours ago

Yes. BDR contains ibSium® — a live, clinically studied probiotic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856) — delivered intact and alive to where it works. The cap-in-cap design protects it on the way down: the inner capsule carries the probiotic past stomach acid, bile, and digestive enzymes and releases it closer to the colon, where it's active. 

One thing worth knowing: ibSium® works by passing through alive and metabolically active — producing beneficial short-chain fatty acids and supporting your existing gut bacteria — rather than permanently colonizing your gut. That's normal and expected for this type of probiotic.
Because it's a live probiotic, the capsule is also what keeps BDR shelf-stable — no refrigeration needed, even in warm conditions.
