Bastyr researchers published a report showing 4 out of 20 commercial products did not contain viable Lactobacillus. In addition, 30% of the products contained contaminants. Finally, only one of the products contained all of the ingredients listed on the bottle. The research results note that “one product found to be a viable, non-contaminated supplement identified as the organism advertised on the bottle was also the most expensive per capsule.”
www.consumerlab.com tested 13 commercial products and found similar results. Four of the 13 products did not contain the 1 billion organisms per dose considered to be a minimum. In addition, a fifth product, had the 1 billion minimum but claimed to have 30 billion. For full information, please read the original report
