Is this probiotic FDA approved?

Actually, there is no approval process for any probiotics with the FDA. With that said, our probiotics are grown, tableted and bottled in the US by a NSF Certified GMP manufacturer. Our probiotic formulas are grown, harvested and tableted in the US and we adhere to the strictest quality control and FDA compliance. Our manufacturing partner has been making probiotics since 1983 and they manufacture for many other prominent brands. I hope this helps to answer your question!

I'm pretty sure no supplements from any company are fda approved. The FDA doesn't care about supplements.

No it is not. It says on the back label that the statements have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

As far as I can tell from the tiny letters on the label, and checking the RAW website, the answer woukd be "no." They appear to be vegetarian, but not dairy-free, so if you're allergic to dairy, or vegan, you might want to look more closely. Check their site yourself: I think they MAY have another probiotic that's dairy-free...but it might also have other ingredients not congenial to a vegan or other vegetarian. There ARE companies out there who produce dairy-free probiotics, but in your place I'd do a search, read ingredient lists carefully, and even contact the companies' customer support. That way you'll feel confident about the product you decide to buy. As far as I can tell from the tiny letters on the label, and checking the RAW website, the answer woukd be "no."

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 have never used the raw probiotics, but have used this product for the last 5 years and have been very satisified. I had one child who had repeated strep and was on antibiotics for over 75 straight days....never had a single gut problem and used this probiotic religiously....and still do. I have read that the inulin (prebiotic) and saccharomyces boulardii are amazing for your GI system. It has certainly worked for us! Hope that helps!!

Hi Sam, before starting on a probiotics regimen, I read a lot. One of the articles I read is this http://www.health.harvard.edu/fhg/updates/update0905c.shtml. I am sure you will find plenty online. Just a caveat, I am not a MD or a biochemist or a professional in the the are, but let me tell you my experience. I started taking probiotics and I noticed after 10 days improvement on the issues I had. After finishing the first bottle, I did not buy or take another pill for a couple of weeks. The issues resumed, and I quickly bought a larger bottle this second time around. As for choosing this brand, I bought it based on its reviews and its high number of CFU's. I hope that helps.

I do not believe that this product is FDA approved but according to the product description Every Best Naturals product is manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practices and is tested to either match or exceed the stringent norms and specifications set forth by the FDA. I am seeing results from using this product.

Yes it does. If you go on the website www.sedonalabs.com and type in i-flora you can read all the ingredients itemized. The list is too long for me to list here. This was an effective probiotic for me during a time of illness.

The list is on the bottle. Don't ask me to write all. Too many probiotic words.

It doesn't say on the bottle. All I know is this is the only probiotic that has made me feel so good and be so normal in 11 years. If you're having issues you don't have much to lose. I am almost through my 3rd bottle and still am seeing results.

The bottle or label should show a "manufactured date" on it, and not an expiration date per se. However, according to Swanson, the supplements are "considered stable at full potency for two years from the manufacture date." Liquid supplements and probiotics are generally considered stable for 1 year past the manufacture date. So, as long as the manufacture date is less than 2 years ago, it should still be as potent. If it's been longer than two years, it's not necessarily unsafe; the potency of dried herbs simply deteriorates as time goes on, so it won't be as effective as it should be.

My package of Probiotics indicates no specific place of manufacture. It states, "Distributed by...." There is a 1-800 number: 1-800-882-9993. I am going to call before I feed any more. Suggest you do the same.

I have read the entire label and do not find that it says its FDA approved. I don't see many if any vitamins that say FDA approved.

In my opinion, the "billion number" is probably adequate on any product if you have no gastro problems. If you do, that number is the number of live bacteria and should be a little higher. The real test of a probiotic is how many "strains" it covers (should be ten or more), and what the delivery system is. If it is an enteric or time release capsule, then it will get down to the gut where you need it, and not release in the stomach from your gastic acids.
