How Many CFUs Do You Really Need?

It's increasingly common to see probiotic formulas with incredibly high CFU numbers. As if stuffing as many CFUs into a capsule is a magic bullet, when really, it’s just a marketing angle. They claim that you need outrageous amounts of colony forming units (CFUs); but it’s unlikely to make a difference and may aggravate your symptoms.

Loaded with Potent Strains Proven to Work

The probiotic market has been flooded with "new" strains supported by a lot of noise but not much science. Studies tend to be small and limited if they exist at all. Support Biotic is not this type of formula. We combined well-established, proven strains, backed by decades of clinical experience and extensive research into a formula that works every time.

High-Adherence, Survivor Strains - The freeze-dried patented stabilization technology from HOWARU labs allows our formula to survive the harsh gastrointestinal environment and adhere to the intestinal tract to deliver superior results. No refrigeration is required. Support Biotic is formulated to meet the CFU label claim through expiration. This means you don’t need insanely high CFUs per capsule. You need CFUs that will get to their target destination intact and be highly effective when they get there.

Powerful Saccharomyces boulardii – Technically a yeast, this probiotic has been researched extensively for its benefits on human health. Leaky gut repair, vitamin absorption, regularity, healthy flora restore, and immune support are just some of the benefits.

Packed With Lactobacillus paracasei - HOWARU signature strain L. paracasei Lpc-37 supports brain health through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, by supporting the reduction of perceived stress levels. Lpc-37 has been cited in more than 65 scientific publications, including more than 21 clinical trials.

Featuring Lactobacillus rhamnosus - This strain helps maintain a low pH in the vagina by producing lactic acid. A lower pH environment promotes a healthy vaginal flora.

Support Biotic contains high amounts of Lactobacillus paracasei and Saccharomyces boulardii, which combine to create a force of balance, causing positive change. Five other Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus strains play important roles in completing the full-spectrum purpose of this formula. Here are just some of the highlights of this carefully composed combination, delivered at a CFU count safe for the majority of users.

• Lactobacillus paracasei (Lpc-37): A brainpower strain. Studied for its impact on the psychological response to stress, Lpc-37 has a long history of safe use, is well suited for intestinal survival, and has strong adhesion to the intestinal barrier.
• Saccharomyces boulardii: A vital yeast shown in studies to help reduce common GI symptoms and alleviate symptoms, making it a valuable probiotic for digestive health. Saccharomyces boulardii offers a range of potential benefits to digestive symptoms, the immune response, and the gut microbiota.
• Lactobacillus acidophilus (NCFM): Found to promote gut health by maintaining a balanced microbiome and enhancing digestion. Additionally, it may play a role in boosting the immune system's response to digestive weaknesses and supporting overall well-being. While commonly found in common foods and drinks, this mode of delivery is much higher, with better absorption.
• Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb-06): Bb-06 can aid in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, facilitating better digestion and absorption of nutrients. It is known for promoting an intact gut barrier (not leaky gut), by resisting mucosal barrier degradation.
• Bifidobacterium lactis (B420): Demonstrated for efficacy in many randomized controlled trials, research finds that B420 improved gastrointestinal symptoms in individuals with IBS as well as metabolic and immune function.
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus (ATCC53103): Primarily functions to support gut health by maintaining a balanced microbiome and aiding in digestion. Its benefits include pH balancing, digestive comfort, and immune support.
• Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp-115): To support the growth of the healthy gut flora that can defend against abdominal symptoms and strengthen your gut-brain barrier. L. plantarum can help break down food, absorb nutrients, and neutralize certain substances in the intestine.
