Probiotics
Guides and comparisons How to read a supplement label in the EU
Our probiotic range spans single-strain and multi-strain formulas from brands including NOW Foods, Swanson and Doctor’s Best, supplied as capsules or powders with live bacterial cultures such as named Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, some combined with a prebiotic fibre such as FOS or inulin on the same label. Formulas vary widely, from about 1 billion to 100 billion CFU per daily serving and from a single strain to blends of over 20 strains, so compare the CFU count per serving, the number and names of the strains, and whether that count is guaranteed at the time of manufacture or through the end of shelf life. Storage requirements differ by product: some are freeze-dried and shelf-stable at room temperature, others need refrigeration, so check the label before you buy. Serving size, capsule type and price per serving also vary by brand, and full dosage directions are printed on each product’s own packaging.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a probiotic and a prebiotic?
A probiotic supplement contains live bacterial cultures, most often named Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium strains, sold as capsules, powders or gummies. A prebiotic is a different ingredient — a specific plant fibre such as FOS or inulin — which some probiotic products include on the same label as a combined formula. Check the ingredient list to see whether a product contains live cultures, fibre, or both.
Do probiotics need to be stored in the refrigerator?
It depends on the specific product: some probiotic supplements are freeze-dried and labelled shelf-stable at room temperature, while others need refrigeration so the labelled CFU count stays accurate until the best-before date. Always follow the storage instructions printed on your product's own packaging, since this differs by brand and strain.
When is the best time to take probiotics?
There is no single timing that applies to every product — manufacturers set their own directions based on the specific strains and capsule coating used. Check your product's label for the recommended serving size and timing, and if you take other medication, ask a pharmacist how to time it.
