If you're looking for basic daily gut maintenance rather than addressing specific digestive issues, this probiotic delivers 5 billion CFU per capsule. The dose sits at the lower end of the clinically studied range (1–100 billion CFU), where most general-wellness probiotic research operates.

The blend includes 8 strains across **Lactobacillus** and **Bifidobacterium** genera, with individually double-foil blister-sealed capsules to protect viability. The shelf-stable design means you don't need refrigeration, which is practical for travel. The product guarantees potency through expiration when stored below 77°F.

The main limitation is potency. If you're trying to address active digestive concerns like bloating, irregular bowel habits, or post-antibiotic recovery, research generally supports higher CFU counts in the 10–50 billion range. For general daily maintenance in a healthy gut, 5 billion CFU may be sufficient for your needs.
