Our research shows only 1-in-500 probiotics on the market today are based on evidence they actually provide a health benefit.
However, the definition of a probiotic is a live microorganism that delivers a health benefit when consumed or applied to the body in a specific amount.
A probiotic is a live microorganism that delivers a health benefit when consumed or applied to the body in a specific amount.
A list of evidence-based probiotic brands can be viewed here.
"In the case of probiotics, the clinical evidence must be linked to specific formulations as defined by genus, species, alphanumeric designation or strain, number of live bacteria present, the blend of probiotic strains present and finally, non-active ingredients present."
Probiotics require evidence from double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that show their safety and efficacy by delivering a specific health related outcome.
To put it another way, the Board of Directors from the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics state "Clinical evidence and not microbiota outcomes drive the value of probiotics." In simple terms, clinical evidence and not a CFU count drive value of any probiotic.
The value of any probiotic is derived by the evidence of the probiotic strain(s) delivering a health benefit in a randomized controlled clinical trial.
What is a probiotic strain exactly? It’s the identifying numbers and/or letters after the probiotic species. It's most important to know that a species is not a strain.
A highly specific probiotic strain coupled with the same CFU count used in the randomized controlled trial is where evidence and value are derived.
