At a glance

Every strain is named on the pack with its full designation, which means you can look each one up. Shelf stable, so no refrigeration, and a delayed-release capsule so the cultures pass the stomach.

It may suit you if

  • You want to know which strains you are taking
  • You do not want to refrigerate a supplement
  • You are taking it after a course of antibiotics

You may prefer something else if

  • You want the highest CFU count for the money
  • You want a powder to add to food

Cost per serving is the fairest way to compare, because pack sizes vary enormously within the same category. It still does not account for how much active ingredient is in each serving — check that too.
