### Claim 7

The process of ameliorating effects caused by environmental or biological changes in humans or animals comprising the step of:
feeding the human or animal in need of such amelioration an encapsulated probiotic composition comprising a viable encapsulated probiotic microbe, with the proviso that said composition is not a blended mixture of at least one biologically pure Pediococcus acidilactici probiotic culture and dried tomato powder at a weight ratio of 1:4 encapsulated in an effective amount in a gelatin capsule.
