Culturelle™ - Probiotic
Culturelle™ contains Lactobacillus GG, an extensively studied strain of friendly intestinal bacteria, naturally occurring in the Digestive Tract.
Together with Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus GG is a subspecies of Lactobacillus casei.
It was discovered and patented by researchers Drs. Gorbach and Goldin at Tufts University.
To date, this is the best-studied and most extensively documented probiotic lactic acid bacteria strain in the world.*
Warning:
To maintain potency, store tightly closed and refrigerated.
Short term heat exposure is acceptable.
Note:
Culturelle™ is grown on Whey and will contain trace levels (less than 15 parts per million) of Casein and Whey, which are proteins found in milk.
Suggested Use:
1 capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
Amount per 1 Capsule serving
10 Billion cells** Lactobacillus GG
Other Ingredients:
Vegetarian capsule (Hypromellose), Inulin (chicory root extract).

**Note:
30 Billion quantity at manufacture.
When stored properly, the potency guaranteed on the date of expiration or best use listed on the package, will greatly exceed the 10 Billion listed.
Refrigeration will keep a higher bacteria count than storing at room temperature, but be assured that even at room temperature, you receive at least the 10 Billion that ARG guarantee and the benefits that the medical science has validated.
Allergy research guarantee that at the time of manufacture, they continue to input a minimum of 30 Billion bacteria.
More often than not, the actual number is considerably higher.
However, because the potency of probiotics can change depending on storage conditions, the amount they guarantee at the end of the 18 months shelf life is 10 Billion bacteria.
Importantly, this is the quantity that has been scientifically validated for the medical benefits for lactobacillus GG.
With over 200 clinical studies, lactobacillus GG is the most researched and proven probiotic in the world.
The 10 Billion count is what has been used in the vast majority of the clinical trials, including human clinical trials.
For that reason, Allergy Research guarantee that quantity
