There are so many probiotic formulas on the market, and many offered by this distributor, "Pure Encapsulations". Why "Probiotics 50B"?
386326
The pure brand and the 50B were both recommended by my doctor. For those of us who are lactose intolerant, it is the best alternative to yogurt,etc. My only complaint with my order was the probiotic must be refrigerated and special packaging should be used for shipping. In my case the special refrigerated shipping was not used.

product has 50+ billion CFU's instead of just a few million, brand "Pure" has very pure supplements (no unnecessary fillers)

My naturopath feels that this is the best probiotic composition for my particular situation, which involves combatting candida.

No, that's why I take a probiotic, too. I take Primal Defense Ultra, made made by Garden of Life. But, there are many out there to choose from.

I just noticed in bold print on the box:CONTAINS WHEAT AND SOY. Sorry...maybe another brand of probiotics would not have wheat and soy.

It appears they are the same. If you look at the picture of the box for "Phillips Colon Health", it says "probiotics" on it prominently.

It has B. bifidum, yes. The probiotic blend (in proprietary ratios) is: B. subtilis, L. helveticus, S. boulardii, L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, L. lactis, B. bifidum. All together there are 13.6 Billion CFUs. As you probably know, CFU, is the colony forming unit; that is, the live bacteria capable of forming colonies. Arthur Andrew then throws in some enzymes to "cleanse the digestive tract", and a prebiotic (800 mg of isomalto-oligosaccharide) that resists digestion and passes into your gut to form a nice home for the good bacteria in the probiotic. They encase the whole thing in an acid-resisting capsule. Quite different from your run-of-the-mill probiotic. It has B. bifidum, yes.

The list is on the bottle. Don't ask me to write all. Too many probiotic words.

Actually, there is no approval process for any probiotics with the FDA. With that said, our probiotics are grown, tableted and bottled in the US by a NSF Certified GMP manufacturer. Our probiotic formulas are grown, harvested and tableted in the US and we adhere to the strictest quality control and FDA compliance. Our manufacturing partner has been making probiotics since 1983 and they manufacture for many other prominent brands. I hope this helps to answer your question!

Master Supplements has been GREAT, I have ordered from them many times from Amazon. I have ordered Probiotics online for years, many come completely un-insulated. It arrives well wrapped/insulated in bubble wrap. I have found this to be more than adequate. It may appear a bit more expensive, however.... There are other less expensive suppliers, even with more elaborate insulation, but I don't want my package in transit for MANY days longer. With those less expensive suppliers, you can pay for faster shipping, but then you're back up to 'expensive'... I go with Amazon/Master Supplements and be done with it!

I´m not sure, but I noticed when I stored mine in a cold place, like the fridge, the casing got hard. I have no idea if this affects the potency of the probiotics or not.

Originally I bought Garden of Life Raw Probiotics, which was in a blue box. The Raw Enzymes does come in a green box. I really don't know what difference there is in the two but I think I had better results with the Probiotics.

It does not list a breakdown so I don't know how much of these is Lactobacillus gasseri. It just says, "16 probiotics and 32 billion cells per serving". The amount per serving shows "proprietary blend". Sorry, I couldn't help.

I am not sure, and I threw my used bottle away, and don't plan to replace it. I have used other probiotics that I like much better, and are less expensive.

I believe they are the exact same just different sellers. That seems to happen often with many products on amazon. Go with the best price! :) P.S. If you are looking for candida removal with this I would recommend to click on the 2 bottle deal and just have them. Candida takes a while to remove so be patient.... and also go to a health store/vitamin shop and get a really good probiotic. 10+ different strains with around 20 billion parts. ;)

The Probiotic Restore Ultra that I purchased shows 45 capsules in the bottle

Hi John, Thanks for your question. I'm afraid I'm not really familiar with that product so I can't really comment. We do however offer an unconditional money back guarantee on the Nutrapuris Probiotic Ultrablend so you can try this for your yourself completely risk free. I hope that helps! Regards, James

When I ordered the NOW Probiotic-10 it was the 50 billion bottle of 50 Vcaps. It was a pretty good price overall. Hope this helps you.

Most probiotic labels only guarantee their 20 billion live culture claim at manufacture, not at the consumer. The manufacturer has no control over how carefully the product is handled once they ship it to a distributor. For example if the product is allowed to sit in high temperatures in a warehouse, that will negatively impact the number of probiotic cultures that survive. I for one would not recommend purchasing probiotics by mail during the summer as they will roast sitting in mail/delivery trucks.
