The kind of probiotic supplement that you take makes a big difference in how effective your immune system and digestive system is. There are many different probiotic supplements out there, and a lot of them are better than others. I've gone over the qualities that your best probiotic supplement should have here, but I wanted to clarify that more with some examples.

So, I present to you three probiotic supplements that I evauluated.

Good Probiotic Supplement: Accuflora Probiotic

This is an example of a pretty good probiotic. It has multiple strains of bacteria and doesn't need to be refridgerated. A lot of probiotics have many weird storage requirements and can be a hassle to deal with. Also, it's fairly cheap costing right around twenty dollars. If you were just walking into the store and had to deal with a bunch of different probiotics, you would walk away from the experience having a pretty do probiotic, not the best, but certainly not the worst supplement you could buy.

Better Probiotic Supplement: Evora Plus Probiotics for Oral Care

These probiotic mints aren't your run of the mill probiotic supplement. They have a special use, which I really like, and never really thought about until I came across them. Evora Plus Probiotics are for your mouth. They keep your breath fresh and your mouth clean, and while they a little expensive for just a "breath mint", it is basically the only probiotic breath mint on the market, and works like magic. It goes beyond killing off bad breath and even helps keep your mouth healthy due to the probiotics. Most mouth washes just kill off all the bacteria, including the good ones.

Best Probiotic Supplement: Probiotic Immune Boost

The reason I really enjoy this supplement is because while it is more of your "average" probiotic, there are a few things that set it a part. The first is that it has 6 Billion CFUs of bacteria, which, is one of the main things to look for in a probiotic supplement. The amount of bacteria, which I have said here. Another thing this probiotic supplement has is multiple strains of bacteria, which is also a good sign. But, the thing I like most about this supplement is that you can try it for free. This is especially good because they give you about a months supply, which if you're eating healthy and just need some probiotics to fix up a skin condition or want to boost your digestive system, is plenty. You wouldn't even need to spend a dime to get a high quality probiotic. Which is why I think Probiotic Immune Boost is one of the best probiotic suplements around.

Saccharomyces boulardii (s.bouldardii for short) is not a bacteria, but since it shares a lot of the same properties of as other good bacteria, it is often lumped in and sold as a probiotic.

If you’re trying to get rid of any form of diarrhea, s.bouldardii is definitely the way to go.

This form of yeast that was first isolated in mangosteen and other tropical fruits has been throughly proven to shorten your bouts with diarrhea.

S.bouldardii has stood the test of time when it comes to testing and scrutiny. Interestingly enough, we don’t exactly know how it works, only that it works, very, very well.

Also, saccharomyces bouldardii is safe enough to use on children and is in fact often recommended for use in children as young as three.

A typical dose of s.bouldardii is 250mg once or twice a day for five days. After that, your diarrhea problem is usually cleared up.

It’s not much of a preventative measure, but it doesn’t hurt to take it when you first start using probiotics.

Also, it’s not really found naturally except in some tropical fruits such as lychee and mangosteen.

Unfortunately, this means that s.bouldardii can be hard to find naturally if you prefer to take it that way.

One more thing, like most probiotics, make sure that when you make your purchase, it has at least 100 million CFU’s (preferably 1 billion), or there is a very high chance that

Lactobacillus casei (or l.casei for short) is one strain of bacteria you want to make sure is in your probiotic supplement.

This strain of bacteria lives in your mouth and gastrointestinal tract, much like many other bacteria.

L.casei will help boost your immunity and aids in digestion. Besides the (last strain I talked about [link]), this strain is also commonly found in probiotics, and if your probiotic does not have it, you might want to think twice about taking it.

Like most other probiotics, you want to make sure you are taking at least 100 million CFU’s of it at the bare minimum.

Due to the harsh environment of your stomach, many of the bacteria will die before they have enough time to take hold in your gut.

By taking at least 100 million CFU’s, you can ensure that enough bacteria will survive and make it to your gut to fight the bad guys.

Personally, I’d look for a supplement with at least 1 billion CFU’s.

Just in case you don’t like supplements, you can also find l.casei in yogurt, milk, and some fermented products.
