It's probably OK if a percentage of them are damaged by the O2. If I take 4 to 8 trillion each time it just means I would have to do it more often. The only alternative I know is the usual and incorrect in my opinion way people consume probiotics which is significantly worse. Most are destroyed by the hydrochloride acid, digestive enzymes and bile. Worse, some of them survive and have to pass through the small intestine which is absolutely the wrong place for bacteria to exist, especially if there is even the slightest amount of inflammation of the junctions and especially if some remain in the mucus layer and grow in numbers potentially leading to SIBO. With my current method they go straight into a container of short chained fatty acids which I understand they can feed off of for a while. The SCFA are also beneficial for the large intestine.
