real live stuff, but they sent me the wrong one twice
Definitely contains live probiotics; I added a capsule to 7oz of baby food in a reusable pouch, then left just a little bit of the food in the closed pouch overnight to clean the next day. The pouch swelled up and popped open loudly as the active bacteria produced gasses. This has never happened for me before.<br /><br />As a side note, Dr. Formulas seems to be having some confusion in their order-filling. I re-ordered the probiotic for babies that this listing is for but was sent a different one that has fewer CFUs and only 7 strains. I ordered again (going to return this one), and this time they sent the version that's intended for adults. I think it's basically the same thing, though, so I'm keeping it...Just odd to have two out of two orders filled wrong, after the several times I've re-ordered before without a problem.
