What to check on the label
- Look for genus, species and strain codes
- Check CFU per serving and when that count is guaranteed
- Verify refrigeration and transport requirements
Common formats
Follow the stated temperature conditions
Check whether transport can maintain storage conditions
Read individual strain details rather than just the total count
Compare on the same basis
Add product price, delivery and applicable costs, then divide by labelled servings. The result compares cost, not effectiveness or a suitable dose.
