What is the best probiotic supplement out there?

Question

I would like to know what the best probiotic supplement there is.

Answer 1

I use and recommend all natural Optiflora.  It's actually a two-product system which includes Probiotic (Bifidus & Acidophilus...microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS...food source for microflora).  Because of its encapsulation process, guaranteed delivery of 500 million live microflora to intestines.

Answer 2

Stonyfield yogurt contains 5 live active strains

Answer 3

no particular brand but there are some things to look for to assure you are getting a quality product

1) refrigerated probiotics may not have been kept at the correct temp during shipment, so there quality may be questionable. Go for the products that are shelf stable.

2) A product that has a type of enteric coating or gastro defense coating, this means that the probiotics will not be released until they reach the small intestines, thereby protecting them from stomach acid.

3) I prefer a multi-strain product as opposed to a product that only contains 1

4) Bacteria count, many brands say like 100 million at time of manufacture, it is better to go for a brand that says it "delivers" whatever the bacteria count is. At time of manufacture does not mean they are live by the time you purchase and consume them.

These are the basic rules I use when choosing a probiotic

I have found a great probiotic supplement from Nutri-Health. They have been around for more then 20 years and manufacture a multi-strain formula that contains 16 strains. I am not sure where you can buy them but you can order from their website. www.nutri-health.com
