Info provided online by CNN Health an article by Kelly Murray called Probing the Mysteries of Probiotics will be very helpful.

It looks like this company has a few different "Probiotic" formulas and "Prosynbiotic" is simply the name of this one. It's still a "probiotic".

I'm not sure, but I can tell you this Standard Process product has completely straightened out my digestive system and I feel great! No more unpleasant surprises and hunting for the bathroom in a hurry. I am a believer in the Standard Process line. Kathy S.

Prosynbiotic is a specific product. The probiotic term refers to a category of beneficial bacteria for the intestinal tract. ProSynbiotic is more than just a "probiotic" product. It is a synergistic blend of four research-supported beneficial probiotic strains and two prebiotic fibers, designed to support gut flora and overall intestinal health. By combining the research-supported action of good microbe (probiotics) with two prebiotic fibers that feed these bugs (prebiotics), ProSynbiotic helps make the gut a more hospitable place for our native bacteria to thrive. In turn, this healthy gut environment supports nutrient absorption, regularity and consistency of bowel movements, and a healthy mix of gut microorganisms.

for me; immediately. However, they do not act like medications on the body. They support the body. I tend to take them at night time and wake up with less soreness in throat. The other significant difference I noticed is/was less of a feeling of fluid pressure in the ears. Just like gut probiotics, if you already have an infection going on, you may need additional and medicinal aid.

Sorry to take so long. I have Kyo-Dophilus probiotic & it is great. The manufacture is Wakunga but their website is listed on the bottle as kyolic.com. Maybe the company changed it's name or merged at some point. I have only been taking it about 7 months. Hope this helps!

It is a granular release capsule. The capsule is smaller than most! I imagine all probiotics are granular release also. The product is reliable and really dependable!

Hi Michael. This is a good question and also a very difficult question to answer because there are so many variables that can affect the life cycle of bacteria. MightySupp's probiotics are manufactured using cGMP which is certified Good Manufacturing Practices. This ensures that the best processes are in place to protect the life cycle of the probiotics so that they remain as potent when they get to you as they are at the time of manufacture. Many factors however can then come into play such as heat, light and moisture. If for some reason, say during transport, that the probiotic was exposed to these elements, then their efficacy would be reduced. So a guarantee of live CFU's upon delivery is difficult because we cannot control all the factors from the time the product leaves the manufacturing plant. What we can do however, is offer you a money back guarantee should you, at any time, feel the product has not lived up to your expectation. We stand by that 100 percent. As I said before, this is a very difficult question to answer due to the multitude of variables that accompany probiotic manufacture but I hope I have at least alleviated some of your concern. Kindest a Regards Aaron Parker CEO, MightySupp

It appears they are the same. If you look at the picture of the box for "Phillips Colon Health", it says "probiotics" on it prominently.

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.

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.

Hello Philip, in response to your question the probiotic capsules are normal size in length, they are about the size of a Tylenol capsule and easy to swallow.

I think you mean bowel support. This product uses probiotics, aka good bacteria, to encourage bowel health and to keep things working like they should. Pretty simple.

I don't think they should be different. Are you sure what you're seeing is exactly the same product? There are a couple of versions in strength level of PD. There could also be an updated version. And the many strains of probiotic organisms contained might change in a newer version - there are a lot of them in PD, and countless varieties to choose from. So theoretically they could have changed the formulation. I would trust it in any case - a very reliable company, impeccable in business dealings as well as quality of products. Another possibility is that Amazon is not putting the right pictures together on the page showing them. Sorry I can't answer better than that. It's a mystery! But no doubt Garden of Life would be the people to call, and while you're describing the discrepancy on the phone, you can direct them to the link/page so they can see it too.

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's dairy-free, although it has 2 forms of lactobacillus. I'm lactose-intolerant, and Risaquad had no bad effects on me (and saved my life, literally), whereas Florastor prevented me from healing due to its contents of 33 milligrams of lactose per dosage. Both products are generally good probiotics, but with my 7-month bout of C. diff., Risaquad was the medication that finally healed me. I wish I learned about it sooner.

Originally I bought Garden of Life Raw Probiotics, which was in a blue box. The Raw Enzymes does come in a green box. I really don't know what difference there is in the two but I think I had better results with the Probiotics.

I read the supplement label on the Azo bottle and there is no mention that it contains a probiotic. It says it's made from PACRAN, a natural cranberry concentrate. You can call the manufacturer at 800 722 3476 or go to their website www.azoproducts.com

I ordered it to help my bowel activity. I didn't follow the directions exactly, since I wasn't aiming for a cleanse, but rather a ju,p start. The probiotics worked for me, as I chose to add it (in less than the recommended dose) to protein powder that I was mixing with other ingredients to a drink. Hopes this helps.
