Still, better probiotics share some common traits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They contain genetically identified, well-researched strains like those listed earlier. (An online search can reveal the level of research on any strain.)<\/li>\n<li>They&rsquo;re free from all major allergens in addition to artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.<\/li>\n<li>They have a guaranteed number of living units with the expiration date.<\/li>\n<li>They&rsquo;re created using good manufacturing practices (GMP). Look for GMP certification or USP (U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention) verification around the label.<\/li>\n<li>They&rsquo;re tested by a completely independent laboratory to verify label claims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some, but not all, quality probiotics need to be refrigerated. Freeze-dried capsules and soil-based probiotics generally don&rsquo;t want it. If the label recommends refrigeration, be sure the seller has followed that instruction.<\/p>\n<p>The number of colony-forming units (or CFUs) does not seem to be important, and more is not necessarily better. &ldquo;When the probiotic is potent enough, you don&rsquo;t need countless billions of units,&rdquo; notes Rountree, adding that beneficial ranges will be different among probiotic categories.<\/p>\n<p>With soil-based probiotics, for instance, 2 billion units are most likely enough to make a difference, while many Lacto-Bifido blends feature CFUs which range from 25 billion to 50 billion, plus some contain even more.<\/p>\n<p>Opt for a probiotic that meets the criteria for a quality supplement over one that promises the highest quantity of CFUs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing a probiotic supplement can be daunting. &ldquo;The FDA doesn&#039;t regulate supplements, and many times the client does not know what they&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1717,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[20],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1719"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1719"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1719\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3066,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1719\/revisions\/3066"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
