Question 1

Is this product third party tested and by which lab?

Accepted Answer

Not sure if it's 3rd party tested, but I found it absolutely INEFFECTIVE for SIBO, IBS-C, Reflux, and colonic motility issues.

Question 2

how many are there in 250 mg, billions or millions?

Accepted Answer

Millions or billions do  not even apply to this product.  It's off the charts for a healthy digestive tract when compared to what i think of as junk that you buy at your local pharmacy. Don't waste your money on those...Florastor really works. Recommended dosage is only recommended...my GI said one a day will do the job and it has for 5 years now after being sick for 18 months, 2 hospital stays and tons of antibiotics to get rid of my diverticulitis and c-diff.

Question 3

How many cfu and how many strains are included in florastor?

Accepted Answer

From the Florastor website: In general, CFUs are a scientifically accepted unit of measure for bacterial probiotics. Bacteria-based probiotics often claim a specific number of CFUs for comparison between other bacterial probiotics.

Unlike the vast majority of bacterial probiotics, Florastor contains a yeast probiotic. The average size of a single probiotic yeast cell is approximately ten times the size of a single probiotic bacterial cell.

Because our probiotic yeast cells are very different from probiotic bacteria cells, Florastor probiotics are not measured in the number of colony forming units; we measure Florastor in milligrams instead.

Each capsule, stick or sachet contains 250 mg of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745.

Question 4

Why does it contain lactose?

Accepted Answer

Great question! The small amount of lactose or natural milk sugar is added to help our live yeast remain stable over time at room temperatures . So when consumed, Florastor’s freeze dried probiotic cells are viable to do their important work in the colon to support GI health. We want to point out that lactose is not an active ingredient of Florastor probiotics. The small amount of lactose is simply a part of the manufacturing process of the live microorganism. The active ingredient in Florastor is our probiotic strain: Saccharomyces boulardii I-745.

In healthy volunteers Florastor can stimulates an increase of lactase, the enzyme which naturally breaks down lactose. With over 50 years of use worldwide, we do not see data showing a signal or trend in reporting of adverse reactions or side effects, from Florastor consumers sensitive to lactose.
