BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A SUPPLEMENT

Four questions worth asking before you buy.

Marketing often makes probiotic choices sound simple. Evidence depends on the microorganism, the intended use, and the person taking it.

Read the complete buying guide
01

Are the exact strains identified? Look beyond genus and species when the available evidence is strain-specific.

02

Is the CFU label meaningful? Bigger numbers don't automatically provide greater benefits.

03

How is the product stored? Check stability instructions and viability through expiration.

04

Does it fit your situation? Health conditions, age, medication, and symptoms affect safety considerations.
