Can anyone find the number of "inputs" or "colony forming units" - any measure of capacity or quality for this probiotic?

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.

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.

When I ordered the NOW Probiotic-10 it was the 50 billion bottle of 50 Vcaps. It was a pretty good price overall. Hope this helps you.

THANKS for the information....I purchased the one with 8 individual jars and it has a curing time option of 19 hours-59 minutes which is great. I reset it for 4 more hours. I think the larger units are better however. THe small batch get VERY thick, however, I start with 1/2 and 1/2 always. One interesting note....the batches seem to be MUCH better starting from scratch as opposed to using yogurt from a previous batch.

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.

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.

The list is on the bottle. Don't ask me to write all. Too many probiotic words.

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.

These are capsules and it says this on the bottle: 1 billion CFU fermentation cultures of Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Salivarius, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Streptococcus Thermophilus at the time of manufacture.

Can't hurt.This product contains 4 strains of natural beneficial bacteria: Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium lactis, bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum.

Funny you ask me this today. I took baby to chiropractor & he explained that this powder probiotic was useless. My son still has issues going poop. Well a dry, warm, powdered probiotic is dead. We have to give them live probiotic. The one kept in the fridge. Don't bother getting this. Get something alive & kept in the freezer. This is garbage. . Hope this helps.

The box says Lactobacillus CG billion cells per capsule guaranteed potency thought the expiration date when stored properly. Doesn't actually state that is CFU but it appears to be implied when I did a search on Culturelle and CFU

Hi Sam, before starting on a probiotics regimen, I read a lot. One of the articles I read is this http://www.health.harvard.edu/fhg/updates/update0905c.shtml. I am sure you will find plenty online. Just a caveat, I am not a MD or a biochemist or a professional in the the are, but let me tell you my experience. I started taking probiotics and I noticed after 10 days improvement on the issues I had. After finishing the first bottle, I did not buy or take another pill for a couple of weeks. The issues resumed, and I quickly bought a larger bottle this second time around. As for choosing this brand, I bought it based on its reviews and its high number of CFU's. I hope that helps.
