HEALTH TIPS: Finding A Probiotic that Works for You

If you’ve been looking for health tips lately, chances are you’ve heard about probiotics. These “good bacteria” can be found in a variety of foods and dietary supplements, and help balance the contents of the digestive tract, which is a key part of the immune system. Probiotics have can be used for many different gut disorders including Ulcerative Colitis, according to the National Center for Biotechnology.


There are many brands on the market today, so finding a supplement that’s right for you can mean looking at hundreds of brands and formulas. Should you choose to add a probiotic to your health regimen, there are a few factors to consider: the amount of bacteria, life expectancy, and variety of bacteria, according to Reviews.com.

The amount of bacteria in a probiotic supplement is counted in CFUs (colony-forming units), and there can be a lot of variety from formula to formula. Shoot for one that has at least 1 billion CFUs to ensure you’re getting enough bacteria to reap the benefits.

The variety of bacteria also is important. Our digestive systems are incredibly diverse, and probiotic supplements that have more than one bacterial strains may actually work better. When looking for the right supplement for you, aim for one that has more than one type of bacteria.

Probiotics come with live bacteria in them, which means that those bacteria have a lifespan. According to Harvard Health, be sure to store them properly to ensure they survive the trip from the bottle to your body. The CFU count listed on the bottle is ensured until the expiration date, so be sure to take them accordingly.

At the end of the day, the right probiotic for you will come down to a variety of factors, but keep these points in mind when you begin your search. Check out Reviews.com’s article to read their full guide, including which supplements they recommend: https://www.reviews.com/probiotic-supplement/
