A List Of The Best Commercial Probiotics

probiotics

Buying probiotics can provide a real boost to your health, but are you sure you’re buying the right ones? You need to look at the CFU count, the number of strains and whether it needs refrigeration, among other things. Choosing a good probiotic can mean the difference between a healthy digestive system and a sick one.

There are countless commercial probiotics to choose from, but on this page we’ve complied a list of more than 80. These probiotics are all fairly widely available, either online or in your local store. Remember that automatically choosing the probiotic with the highest number of CFUs is not necessarily the best idea – it’s usually better to start with a smaller count and then gradually increase it.

What’s my favorite? We were frustrated by the quality of existing probiotics, so we designed our own. Our Balance One probiotic is the only probiotic designed for a Candida overgrowth.

It uses patented probiotic tablets that deliver 15 times as many probiotics to your gut, and it contains 12 strains chosen for their ability to inhibit Candida growth and improve gut health. You can find it here.
