Visibiome has OTC and rx-only probiotics products, the latter of which is used to treat severe IBS and ulcerative colitis. Their OTC products are also very high potency and regularly recommended by doctors as well.
Also, nicer grocery stores typically have a refrigerated probiotics section, and those are typically good brands as well (Garden of Life is one). Generally, shelf stable probiotics are less potent and varied in cultures than ones requiring refrigeration.
- thrwy_918 4y ago>Visibiome has OTC and rx-only probiotics products It's worth pointing out that the actual biotic payload is exactly the same between the two products, only the dosage is different. In other words, taking two packets of the regular unflavored powder should deliver the same payload as one packet of the rx-only "extra-strength" powder. I suspect the only reason the higher strength product exists, and is rx-only, is so that it can be covered by health insurance for some people.
- willseth 4y agoSure, I was pointing this out only because it's a signal that their product has gone through a more rigorous approval process to be accepted by insurance
