The description on their website says "millions of live cultures per bottle." Doesn't that seem extremely low?

I think it meant millions of live cultures per capsule. There are 250 million CFU of Lactobacillus Acidophilus, 250 million CFU of Bifidobacterium Bifidum, 124 CFU of Lactobacillus casei and 120CFU of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus.

You should be getting 1-10 billion CFUs a day according to some of the research I have done. I also read that 95 percent of probiotic supplements tested won't have 10 percent of the CFUs they say they have this was based on testing conducted by ConsumerLab.com. I chose a lower dose Probiotic to see how it interacted with my delicate system. All-in-all eating foods containing both probiotics and prebiotics is still the better way to go. I've also been looking at "Daily Assist Advanced Probiotics" and "Healthy Origins Probiotic 30 Billion" here on Amazon which reports a much higher content of live cultures per capsule.

Guess the proof is in the pudding. I tried higher counts for cultures and had no results tried this product and got great results.

Our local hospital analysed a selection of probiotics selected from local stores. Amazingly 2 of them had absolutely no living probiotics in them and ALL of the rest of them had extremely small %'s of probiotics: instead of 16Billion, only 70 million! None of the companies had anywhere ne4ar the advertised potency.

Yes. The live cultures will die more quickly and the supplement will not be as potent if it is not refrigerated. Some of the distributors will even ship the product with an ice pack to protect it during shipping.

I'm not sure. I haven't used it for some time...It seemed a little hit and miss when I was using it, but that could have been impatience. If you are not going to clone very often I wouldn't suggest it as it is quite a big bottle, but if you are planning on cloning a lot you won't need to worry about shelf life. Anyway, I hope this helps.

10 billion cells is correct. I strongly recommend keeping the box in the refrigerator to maintain the potency. Culturelle and Align are probably the two most recommended by everything I have read about the probiotic craze. Align has a higher cost with hardly every any discounts or coupons. Your best bet is on Amazon with the double box deal. One each morning will keep your gut on track! Even my Primary G.I. Doctor uses Culturelle.

I tend to think that if it has live cultures that it would say it on the label. This does not. It states that it contains a minimum of 2 billion CFUs per capsule. I refrigerate mine anyway but I do not think it is live. What I can add is that Bacillus Coagulans is a strain of probiotic. It means I buy my live cultures (80 Billion per capsule) from Renew Life and I supplement that with Bacillus because of all the benefits it has. And it is not normally in a regular probiotic. Hope that helps.

I honestly do not know. I ordered the medicine for my grandparents and it went straight to their house. They keep buying bottles on their own now but I could not tell you if that is the exact amount. I'm sorry.

I also want the answer to this question. How difficult would it be to just add the contents of ingredients to the ad?? When you order something supposedly natural, us natural people want to know what is in it. When you are asking eighteen bucks a bottle, is that too much to ask??

From the picture it is hard to tell. If it costs around $40/bottle, it is likely 120. It should be included in the product description. Hope this helps.

I checked with the Amazon page and it says "There are 5 billion live cultures in 1gr of L. Acidophilus ("Narine" Probiotics), which we use in FruitsMax. But since each tablet consists of 1/10 of probiotics and 9/10 of 21 fruits, accordingly a tablet (1gr) has 500 million live cultures in it and the daily recommended 2 tablets (2gr) have 1 billion live cultures. It is important to mention that the 21 fruits become Prebiotics (food) for the Probiotics, strengthening them for better performance and also helping them to multiply faster in our gut." I hope this helps. I have been using FruitsMax for over a year - love it. I checked with the Amazon page and it says "There are 5 billion live cultures in 1gr of L.

It is different prices. If you can get it at that price it is a good buy. Some dealers are getting $120 per bottle.

The price is for one bottle but it's still much less than the Market America version. Also, watch for any that offer the free shipping option.

The box says Lactobacillus CG billion cells per capsule guaranteed potency thought the expiration date when stored properly. Doesn't actually state that is CFU but it appears to be implied when I did a search on Culturelle and CFU

Jared, Looks like they've significantly raised they're price based on demand. I also ordered 100 of these last July (2012) for just over $26. Now it's more than that for just these 10. Not a good deal. Apparently everyone is using these for the self-watering container gardens.

Hi Kenneth...the box says it has 4mg of bifidobacterium infantis. Goes on to say it has 1 billion live bacteria at manufacture, and provides 1x10 to the 7th power ( vs 1x10 to the 9th) until " best by date"

It means 4 bottles. I seriously doubt it would be 16 bottles for the price quoted.

just says "proprietary blend 620 mg" then lists all the strains. I have been on this for about a month (switched from culturelle) because soil microorganisms sounded good. I don't feel or see any difference. and at 50 bucks, i think im going back to culturelle.
