Five coded strains, over fifteen billion cultures

Florajen Digestion says each capsule contains more than fifteen billion live cultures. Its ingredient text names Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14 and NCFM, Bifidobacterium lactis BI-07 and HN019, and Bifidobacterium longum BL-05. The total is not divided among those strains. A buyer can retain these codes when checking research rather than relying on the broader acidophilus or digestive-balance headline.

Cold handling belongs in the selection

The official storage direction is refrigeration for maximum freshness and potency, while the company allows room-temperature storage for up to two weeks. Florajen says it is shipped cold. That is a longer stated temporary window than Visbiome’s one-week allowance, but it is not permission to infer unlimited room-temperature stability or identical viability conditions across brands. Keep the current package and expiry information with the routine.

The capsule may be opened into cold foods

Directions are one capsule daily with or without food unless a professional recommends a higher serving. Florajen permits capsules to be opened and sprinkled into cold food or beverages. This is a practical alternative for someone who cannot swallow the capsule, unlike Thorne’s direction to preserve its delivery capsule intact. Hot-drink suitability should not be assumed from permission to use a cold mixture.

Gelatin and allergen statements are separate

The other ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin capsules, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide. The page says the product is free of several allergens, gluten, dairy, coloring, and preservatives, and presents non-GMO and kosher claims. A gelatin shell means it should not be described as a vegetarian capsule simply because the listed bacterial culture is dairy-free. Confirm the current package when dietary restrictions matter.

Retail sizes and clinical references need context

The source lists thirty- and sixty-capsule store sizes and thirty-, sixty-, ninety-, and 120-capsule online sizes, without establishing one comparable price. It also cites probiotic and constipation literature. Those references should be checked for the exact strains, formula, and population before assigning an outcome to the current product in GLP-1 users. The page’s antibiotic-timing instruction is specific to that context and does not create a universal spacing rule for all medicines.
