How to Choose the Best Probiotic for You

When selecting a probiotic, consider the CFU (colony-forming units) count, strain diversity, and delivery method. Higher CFU counts, like 35 billion in this formula, can be more effective for some. Multiple strains target different areas of gut health. Look for technologies that protect bacteria from stomach acid, such as VIABLEND®. Additionally, check for certifications like vegetarian, gluten-free, and non-GMO. This product is free from eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, soy, gluten, and titanium dioxide.

Key Benefits of a High-Quality Probiotic

Probiotics play a vital role in maintaining a healthy digestive system. They help replenish beneficial bacteria that can be depleted by poor diet, medication, stress, or aging. A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut, so supporting gut health may also support immune function. The prebiotics in this formula further encourage the growth of good bacteria, enhancing the overall synbiotic effect. Regular use may help promote regularity and digestive comfort.

Who Can Benefit from Taking Probiotics?

Probiotics are beneficial for a wide range of individuals. Those with digestive concerns, such as occasional bloating or irregularity, may find support. People taking antibiotics, which can disrupt gut flora, may benefit from replenishing beneficial bacteria. Aging, travel, and dietary changes can also impact gut health. This supplement is suitable for vegetarians and is free from common allergens, making it accessible to many dietary needs.

What Is a Probiotic Synbiotic Supplement?

A synbiotic supplement combines probiotics—live beneficial bacteria—with prebiotics, which are non-digestible fibers that feed those bacteria. Vitacost Probiotic 15 is a synbiotic formula designed to support digestive and immune health. It provides 15 different probiotic strains and NutraFlora® prebiotics (FOS) to help maintain a healthy balance of gut flora. The unique VIABLEND® Gastric Acid Bypass Technology protects the live bacteria from stomach acid, ensuring they reach the intestines where they can provide benefits.
