Hi Marshal, I haven't used them in pill form although from the ones I have encountered in health stores they all seem to be in a gelatin capsule. I do use liquid form acidophilus 50 billion live organisms. This is much more potent then capsule form or any yogurt one might buy. Product I use is Bio-k plus. It is very reputable and I have noticed a difference using it.

Gelatin dissolves in the stomach, where I would expect the culture to get killed. It seems to me that any probiotics should use a hard shell coating that does not break down in the stomach so the live culture can make it to the intestines. Are all probiotics using gelatin capsules? This somehow does not make sense to me. Marshall -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
