Excellent strain diversity but very low potency; potential option for children/elderly
These probiotics hit the mark when it comes to strain diversity, with each capsule providing 14 different strains. The strains are identified on the bottle label, but the specific concentration of each one is not. However, the mark of a good probiotic is both diverse strains plus a good potency. This falls quite short on the potency side, with each capsule providing only 3 billion CFUs. I find a minimum of 20 billion is what I need for good results (digestive and elimination benefits). As such, these don't hit the mark.<br /><br />However, for those who have difficulty tolerating high potency levels, such as younger children and the elderly, this is a decent option. The price is excellent for a 60 capsule bottle. While child-focused probiotics are usually chewable, these capsules should be small enough for most to swallow.<br /><br />As an general adult probiotic I'd give these 2 stars, but as a low-potency child/elderly/sensitive stomach probiotic, it's a 4 star option for the price. I'll average the two and give it 3 stars.
