Are there guaranteed LIVE probiotics, if so how many billions?

I don't believe Thorne guarantees LIVE probiotics...since they are NOT under refrigeration from manufacturer to dealer. I believe Thorne maintains that they provide additional probiotics to deal with the loss due to the lack of refrigeration. Culture 1-2 capsules to determine if your purchase contains live probiotics. If it won't culture, it isn't.

I don't really know how I would know if the probiotics are live or dead. I guess they are guaranteed live but I still don't know myself that they lived through the shipment to me. KJB

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.

Lactobacillus sporogenes is dormant until it reaches your gut. It's different than other probiotics as it produces spores to reproduce. When the conditions are right, i.e. the environment of an intestinal tract, these spores reproduce. Lactobacillus sporogenes has greater 'staying' power in that aggressive microbes (like Candidas) can't overrun the colony once established.

I don't have any to look at right now, but if I remember correctly, they are average to small in size. I would not recommend Dr. Whitaker's Probiotic Essentials Gold because it is a very large capsule (eventhough it is a good product).

I am not sure, and I threw my used bottle away, and don't plan to replace it. I have used other probiotics that I like much better, and are less expensive.

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.

Sorry, but I have no scientific background. The description says it is probiotics. I am just a customer who bought it.

I just noticed in bold print on the box:CONTAINS WHEAT AND SOY. Sorry...maybe another brand of probiotics would not have wheat and soy.

I would check with the Cardioviva folks themselves. There have been some studies and presentations. Here's a link to an American Heart Association press release which I found on the Cardioviva site: http://www.mycardioviva.com/media/American-Heart-Association_Jones-Probiotics-Lower-LDL-NR-FINAL.PDF

25+ billion.. Lacto species is 17+ Billion and Bifido species 8+ billion. This brand was recommended to me (an adult) by my oncologist while going through chemo to help with chemo related side effects. He said this is such a strong probiotic you only need to use 1/4 to 1/2 the tablet (a child max 1/4) so the bottle lasts a while. It must be kept chilled. It has helped immensely and I highly recommend it. My husband and I have been using it for 4 months now.

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!!

I don't believe ANY probiotic supplement has any value or meets the claims of it's promoter/manufacturer. I woul't waste another penny on this junk.

No, you can get that in Natures Life liquid Greek blueberry from VitaCost or Swanson Ultimate 15 strainprobiotic veggie caps but have to take five (5) caps to make a difference. The caps work out to be very highcost per billion CFUs.

Common sense tells me that the efficacy rate of probiotics diminishes over time without refrigeration. I recommend Garden of Life to all first time probiotic users. If they see a significant result, I recommend live fermented food for a optimum gut health. If their issues disappear, and they see no more result, I say, "your welcome".

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"

I am no expert. The label says L. acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bifiobacterium longum. 1.5 billion cells. I hope that helps. I'd think if this is not enough info, that you could google the product name or the company, WAKUNAGA of America. Website on the label is www.kyolic.com.
