Does it say what the bacteria count is on these & how many strains?

The only actual Probotic in this is L acidphilus and it shows 4 billion. It also has Aloe Vera, Oregeno, Anise seed, Reishi Mushroom, Black Walnut, and Wormwood. It does help detox your body of the yeast, but it can be hard on the stomach. You need t make sure to take this with food. It also has Protease 25,000 HUT, and Cellulase,3,200 CU. the other herbs are 1,275 mg as a blend.

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.

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.

Stress, dietary indiscretions, really anything that causes inflammation kills good gut bacteria. it also has a life cycle in your gut and as it proliferates it also sloughs the old. So you need a high number of bacteria. Heavy duty probiotics such as 'vsl' brand have an insanely high number of bacteria. twice the amount than in colon care. That one is for use by people with ulcerative colitis and severe IBD. So yes these numbers are very meaningful. but also the types of bacteria chosen for colon care are synergistic or symbiotic. Many people have a good base of good bacteria residing and some people can't seem to develop a good thriving base of gut flora and have to replenish constantly. I am that person. I wasnt nursed as a child and was delivered cesarian. So my gut flors was nil. I appreciated the kind of bacteria present in this product and the high number of them.

My original purchase did not list on the container, however my latest order does have the probiotics

The 50 billion is not having the effect I was wanting. The important thing is that no matter how many billion, but that the product contains 'at least 10 different strains of the organisms'. In over the counter products you get maybe 1-3 strains. I think I'll go down to 'fewer billions' since that will be less expensive.

I see lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus rhamnosus and 6 others listed on the label. I don't see lactobacillus reuteri.

Sean, I think there are 30 strains of probiotics from raw bulgarian yogurt--so 'guess so.

I don't know for sure but would assume since it's a high quality product. I have been very happy with it. I've used other probiotics and can tell that it works better.

Well, See below or just contact Old School Labs, I cannot answer. I will say they are near 0, as all products are clean and good.

The probiotic blend listed on the label has Bulgarian Yogurt (milk) Concentrate, and Eastern European Wild Kefir containing all the different probiotic strands, that are too many to name. Hope this helps :-)

Doesn't look like it. It contains 12 different probiotic strains, but lactobacillus reuteri is not on the label.

hi, well the bottle says it contains 50 billion cultures, but the list says its 6 billion active. Not sure what that all means, but I remember probiotics should have at least 11 to be good so 6 may be on low side. Hope this helps. Actually the other answer someone provided makes more sense---- the bottle does list only these two strains. I am referring to how much.

Taken directly from label on bottle: lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium lactis, lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus salivarius, bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium longum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactobacillus casei. These 8 strains are the "8" in the name PB8 (PB obviously is pro-biotic)

The bottle reads total count of two strains together equals 50 billion microorganisms per capsule. You can however, call the company, Custom Probiotics, if you need further information at 800-219-8405. It might interest you to know that a nationally certified herbalist and owner of East - West Medicine Clinic here in San Francisco, carries this item and recommended them to me prior to and after abdominal surgery.

It does not list a breakdown so I don't know how much of these is Lactobacillus gasseri. It just says, "16 probiotics and 32 billion cells per serving". The amount per serving shows "proprietary blend". Sorry, I couldn't help.

The label on the bottle says "29 strains of soil based micro-organisms in a humic/fulvic acid complex" . Nothing about how many billions.... And I decided to opt for Mercola's probiotic this time, less expensive and he's quite respectable. I'll see how that goes. Best of luck. And you can go to the Prescript-Assist website for the best product info.
