I thought probiotics w/o capsul have a hard time passing stomach acid?

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! Yes, our probiotic powder survives digestion! In our Smidge probiotics, each of the probiotic bacteria has been genetically characterized and properly classified by independent labs. We have chosen specific organisms that have demonstrated tolerance to low pH conditions (hydrochloric acid and pepsin at pH of 3 for one hour at 37°C), tolerance to bile at concentrations existing in the duodenum, and the ability to adhere to human epithelial cells. In other words, our probiotics can withstand acid in your stomach and secretions that naturally aid in the digestion process - and do their jobs of balancing your gut flora and further supporting digestion. We recommend taking your probiotic with a meal or directly before the meal (around the same time daily). It’s beneficial if the meal also contains some natural fat or oil. Taking Smidge Probiotics with food allows it to pass through safely as the P.H. goes up. We hope this information is helpful! Take care!

Do they have to be Refrigerated?

Hello! Thank you for this message! Yes, these need to be stored in the refrigerator. We recommend storing them on a shelf towards the front of the fridge. We hope this is helpful! Thank you!
