Vitamin & Supplement Brands

[3132757]

As we are all aware, there is a large number of companies out there producing and selling vitamins and supplements. This can get all too confusing as to which brand and dosage to take.

I would like to start a reference thread/sticky which shows the Brands of vitamins and supplements we are using.


Please use the following format when posting:

Ill start off the thread with the following:

Brand/Company: VSL

Vitamin/Supplement: VSL #3 The Living Shield

Method of intake:Powder

Dosage: 1 sachet per day.
4 strains of lactobacilli
(L. casei, L. plantarum,L. acidophilus, and L.delbrueckii
subspecies bulgaricus);

3 strains of bifidobacteria
(B. longum, B. breve, and B. infantis);

1 strain of streptococcus
(S. salivarius subspecies thermophilus).

Each packet contains at least 450 billion colony forming units
(CFU) of bacteria from 8 beneficial strains.

Notes:
VSL#3 is a patented preparation of live freeze-dried, lactic acid
bacteria, developed to provide the optimal concentration and
types of healthy bacteria for the gastrointestinal tract.

VSL#3 is different from other probiotic therapies in the high
concentration of bacteria, the number and types of bacterial
strains, and the growing body of clinical evidence which
supports its use in a variety of gastrointestinal disorders.
