Colony forming units (abbreviated: CFU) indicate how many live microorganisms are present in a product at the time of production. The number helps in comparing supplements that contain bacterial strains. In this product, there are 5 billion CFU per capsule, divided over five different strains.

Each strain has a unique origin, structure, and application. For example, lactobacillus bulgaricus is widely used in the fermentation of yogurt, while streptococcus thermophilus is also a well-known starter culture in fermented dairy. Lactobacillus rhamnosus and acidophilus are popular in supplements because of their extensive documentation, and bifidobacterium bifidum is often used in combination with other strains. This mix creates a diverse profile of microorganisms.

A combination of different strains provides a broader composition than when only one type is used. Each strain has its own properties and applications in nutrition, making a mix attractive for people who are looking for a versatile supplement. Combining strains is a common approach in products with live cultures.

Yes, many of the strains in this supplement naturally occur in fermented foods. Think of yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and other products in which fermentation plays a role. In supplement form, however, they are more accurately dosed and combined in a fixed ratio.

Inulin is a soluble dietary fiber that naturally occurs in plants such as chicory, artichoke, garlic, and banana. In food products and supplements, inulin is often added because of its role as a soluble fiber. In this supplement, it is part of the composition to complement the bacterial strains.

Ginger powder comes from the root of the ginger plant and is known for its wide application in both food and spice blends. In this supplement, it contributes to the plant-based composition and is part of the balanced mix.
