Probiotics – a buyers guide
There are many foods and supplements claiming to contain probiotics, so which should you choose?
To find a true/high quality probiotic product you should look for:
- The package should inform you of which probiotic bacteria and strains thereof that it contains.
- Information on the package should tell you the documented effective daily dose.
- The package should inform you of best-before date of the product and storage conditions, to deliver the effective daily dose.
- The health benefits of the probiotic strains should be documented
in well-controlled human studies and published in scientific journals.
