About this supplement
What Is Probio 100 Billion CFU?
Probiotics are live bacteria of the kinds already found in a healthy gut, dried so they stay dormant until swallowed. Ten of them are here, at 100 billion CFU per serving, each named down to the exact isolate, like Lactobacillus plantarum UALp-05.
How It Works in the Body
A strain is a single isolate, grown out from one colony and lodged in a culture collection under that code. GG stands for Gorbach and Goldin, the pair who recovered that organism from a human gut. HN019, Bbr8 and the UAL codes were deposited elsewhere the same way.
The distinction is not cosmetic. Two isolates of one species can differ by hundreds of genes, so which sugars they ferment, which surface proteins they carry and where they settle all vary from code to code.
What It Supports
- Counts you can check: Every strain prints its own CFU figure, so the weighting of the blend is visible rather than pooled into a single number.
- A roster with a center of gravity: Lactobacillus plantarum UALp-05 alone is listed at 50 billion CFU per serving, half the blend by itself.
- Two genera, two habitats: Lactobacilli work mainly in the small intestine, bifidobacteria in the colon beyond it.
- Carbohydrate fermentation: These organisms ferment sugar that escaped digestion upstream, and the organic acids they release support the gut's own microbial balance.
Who It May Suit
People who want to know which organism they are taking, not only how many. Anyone working from a practitioner's list of specific strain codes. The capsule is hypromellose with gellan gum, so nothing here comes from an animal.
Good To Know
Nothing rides along with the cultures: no prebiotic fiber, no flow agent, just the capsule. Two situations are worth a word with your doctor before use: an immune system held down by illness or medication, and an indwelling line like a central venous catheter. Bloodstream infection traced to probiotic organisms has happened in both.

FAQ
Common questions
What is it?
Ten named bacterial isolates in one vegetarian capsule, six from the genus Lactobacillus and four from Bifidobacterium. The blend totals 100 billion CFU per serving and weighs 500 mg per serving, and each of the ten carries its own CFU count.
How does it work?
Different isolates do different work, which is the reason the codes are printed. Broadly, these organisms ferment carbohydrate that escaped digestion upstream, releasing organic acids that nudge the local pH down, and they compete with the residents already there for nutrients and for attachment sites on the gut wall.
What makes this strain roster different?
Two things. Each strain carries its own count, so you can see the blend is not split evenly: Lactobacillus plantarum UALp-05 is listed at 50 billion CFU per serving on its own. And the ten isolates come from several culture houses rather than one supplier's list.
Who is it for?
Anyone matching a practitioner's list of specific strain codes, and people who want to know which organism they are taking and in what proportion rather than a single pooled total. The capsule is hypromellose and gellan gum, with nothing animal-derived in it, so vegetarian and vegan eating are covered.
What should I know before taking it?
The whole safety question here is that these are living organisms. Ask your doctor before use if illness or a medicine is holding your immune system down, or if you have any indwelling line, since bacteria from probiotic products have been cultured from patients' blood in both circumstances. Bring up a current antibiotic or a pregnancy too.
