Should women take a daily probiotic?
Women can benefit from taking a daily probiotic—see the question below for more details on the benefits. Still, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor before making any dietary changes or starting a new supplement, including probiotics.

What do probiotics do for women’s health?
If you’re like most people, chances are you can benefit from including probiotics in your daily routine – doing so supports digestive and vaginal health.^*

Factors like everyday stress, less-than-optimal dietary choices, taking antibiotics, exposure to environmental toxins and even normal aging can impact your gut microbiome. Taking probiotics is a great way to keep things balanced in your favor for digestive health support.^*

Certain women’s probiotics can also help support vaginal health, along with intestinal health.^* Look for a supplement with strains that support both, like Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Care Probiotic 50 Billion CFU1.

When is the best time to take a probiotic supplement?
You can take your Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Care Probiotic any time of day, with or without food. One per day is all you need!

What does 50 Billion CFU1 mean?
CFU is short for “colony-forming unit” and, in microbiology, a colony refers to groups of bacteria or yeast growing together. In terms of probiotics, CFU is a measure of the number of live and active microorganisms in one serving of a probiotic supplement.

Though CFU count isn’t the only indicator of a probiotic’s potency or efficacy, a higher CFU count generally means a more potent probiotic, provided it’s manufactured in a way that ensures that the colony-forming units remain active through the product’s expiration.

Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Care Probiotic 50 Billion CFU1 is a great choice for those who want an above-average level of CFUs to support digestive and vaginal health.^*

How many strains should a probiotic have?
When it comes to the right number of strains in a probiotic, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Different probiotic strains offer different benefits and what’s right for one person depends on his or her individual needs and health goals.

Some probiotic supplements contain only a single strain, while others have multiple strains. Generally, a multi-strain probiotic supplement, often referred to as a “broad-spectrum” probiotic, can provide a wider range of benefits because different strains can target different concerns. But keep in mind that the effectiveness of a probiotic supplement doesn’t depend solely on the number of strains it contains. It is also important to consider which strains are included (look for clinically studied strains), the CFU (colony forming unit) count, the delivery technology, the potency guarantee and the manufacturing quality behind the individual formula.

Can you open probiotic capsules?
While probiotic strains and CFU counts get most of the attention when it comes to probiotic discussions, what surrounds the probiotic strains is equally as important. Why? Because for the probiotics in any formula to do their good work for your gut, they must reach your gut alive and well. That means running the gauntlet of your digestive tract — including through some harsh stomach acids. And that’s why Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Care Probiotic 50 Billion CFU1 probiotic capsules use advanced, delayed-release technology. These probiotic vegan capsules protect the delicate beneficial bacteria during their journey to your gut.^* Bottom line: To get the most from your probiotics, take as directed and don’t open the capsules.

How many billion probiotics should I take?
It’s important to keep in mind that with probiotics, more is not always better. Of course, you want to ensure that you’re getting enough beneficial bacteria to have a positive effect on your gut and overall wellness.^* But if you take too much before your body has acclimated, you could end up experiencing digestive upset.

For the average person new to probiotics and seeking everyday gut health support, we recommend starting with our 25 or 30 Billion CFU1 formulas.^* If you have experience taking probiotics, you could start with a higher CFU formula like Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Care Probiotic 50 Billion CFU1. If you have experience taking probiotics and are seeking the most potent formulas we have, try one of our Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Care Probiotic capsules.
