Culturelle Digestive Daily Probiotic Capsules Review

Culturelle Digestive Daily Probiotic Capsules are a daily digestive probiotic from Culturelle, a brand of i-Health, Inc. The product is presented for adults and for anyone twelve years of age and older. Each capsule is described as delivering the clinically proven effective amount of 10 billion CFUs for healthy digestion. The page explains that many probiotics are loaded with far more probiotics than research shows is effective, and that more is not necessarily better, which is why this product is set at that dose. The probiotic strain at the centre of the formula is Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, which the page calls a clinically studied probiotic strain. The page states that this strain has been demonstrated to survive harsh stomach acids to reach the intestines. The product is described as reducing occasional digestive upset including gas, bloating and diarrhea, helping to reduce occasional diarrhea, gas and bloating, working naturally with the body to support digestion and immune defenses, and minimizing travel-associated digestive issues. The page also says the product is made with allergy friendly ingredients that are vegetarian, non-GMO and gluten-free, and lists being free from artificial dyes, yeast, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg and dairy, and is sugar-free and vegan. Directions say to take one capsule daily, with continued use suggested. When traveling, two capsules daily are suggested, one in the morning and one at night, before and during the trip. During a med use, one capsule twice daily is suggested and continued for 10 days after completing meds. The capsule is a vegetarian capsule. The page notes that when first taking a probiotic the gut microbiome adjusts and minor bloating, gas or intestinal gurgling may occur, which should subside with continued use, and advises consulting a healthcare professional if symptoms continue after two weeks. Packaging is described as individually sealed to limit exposure to moisture, light and air, and the product does not need refrigeration and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The page says the number of live probiotics is measured at product expiration date. Culturelle states the product is backed by more than 35 years of science. The page also advises that people with a known immune-compromised condition should inform a healthcare professional before starting any dietary supplement. Pack sizes shown are 30 and 50 counts, with the 30 count listed at 17.99 dollars and subscription pricing available.
