Should women take a daily probiotic?
Women can benefit from taking a daily probiotic — see the question below for more details on the benefits. Still, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor before making any dietary changes or starting a new supplement, including probiotics.

What do probiotics do for women’s health?
If you’re like most women, chances are you can benefit from including probiotics in your daily routine — our formula supports digestive and vaginal health.^*

Factors like everyday stress, less-than-optimal dietary choices, taking antibiotics, exposure to environmental toxins and even normal aging can impact your gut microbiome. Taking probiotics is a great way to keep things balanced in your favor for digestive health support.^*

Certain women’s probiotics can also help support vaginal health, along with intestinal health.^* Look for a supplement with strains that support both, like Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Once Daily Probiotic 25 Billion CFU¹.^*

When is the best time to take a probiotic supplement?
You can take your Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Once Daily Probiotic any time of day, with or without food. One per day is all you need!

What is a synbiotic?
A synbiotic is an all-in-one formula that combines probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics. Our synbiotic blends deliver layered support for a balanced microbiome.^*

• Probiotics are live, beneficial bacteria that contribute to digestive wellness by promoting healthy microflora balance.^*
• Prebiotics (such as fiber) act as food for the probiotics in your digestive system.
• Postbiotics are the compounds produced when probiotics feed on prebiotics (a process called fermentation).
  

When all three are combined, the result is a synbiotic – a multifaceted combination that helps support microbiome balance.^*

What does 25 billion CFU¹ mean?
CFU is short for “colony-forming unit” and, in microbiology, a colony refers to groups of bacteria or yeast growing together. In terms of probiotics, CFU is a measure of the number of live and active microorganisms in one serving of a probiotic supplement.

Though CFU count isn’t the only indicator of a probiotic’s potency or efficacy, a higher CFU count generally means a more potent probiotic, provided it’s manufactured in a way that ensures that the colony-forming units remain active through the product’s expiration.

Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Once Daily Probiotic 25 Billion CFU¹ is a great choice for those who want - support for digestive and vaginal health.^*

How many strains should a probiotic have?
When it comes to the right number of strains in a probiotic, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Different probiotic strains offer different benefits and what’s right for one person depends on his or her individual needs and health goals.

Some probiotic supplements contain only a single strain, while others have multiple strains. Generally, a multi-strain probiotic supplement, often referred to as a “broad-spectrum” probiotic, can provide a wider range of benefits because different strains can target different concerns. But keep in mind that the effectiveness of a probiotic supplement doesn’t depend solely on the number of strains it contains. It is also important to consider which strains are included (look for clinically studied strains), the CFU (colony forming unit) count, the delivery technology, the potency guarantee and the manufacturing quality behind the individual formula.

Can you open probiotic capsules?
While probiotic strains and CFU counts get most of the attention when it comes to probiotic discussions, what surrounds the probiotic strains is equally as important. Why? Because for the probiotics in any formula to do their good work for your gut, they must reach your gut alive and well. That means running the gauntlet of your digestive tract — including through some harsh stomach acids. And that’s why Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Once Daily 25 Billion CFU¹ probiotic capsules use advanced, delayed-release technology. These probiotic vegan capsules protect the delicate beneficial bacteria during their journey to your gut. Bottom line: To get the most from your probiotics, take as directed and don’t open the capsules.

What is digestive health?
Digestive health refers to the well-being and proper functioning of the digestive system. This system is best known for breaking down the foods you eat, absorbing nutrients to nourish and energize your body, and eliminating the rest as waste.

A key part of your digestive system and digestive health is your gut microbiome. This consists of trillions of microorganisms all along your digestive tract. And a diverse and balanced microbiome is essential for healthy digestion, nutrient absorption, and many other aspects of wellness.^*

You can promote your digestive health by eating a wholesome diet, staying hydrated, managing stress, and getting regular exercise and solid sleep. At Renew Life®, we also believe that supplementing with quality probiotics can support a healthy gut microbiome and overall digestive health.^*

How many billion probiotics should I take?
It’s important to keep in mind that with probiotics, more is not always better. Of course, you want to ensure that you’re getting enough beneficial probiotics to have a positive effect on your gut and overall wellness.^* But if you take too much before your body has acclimated, you could end up experiencing digestive upset.

For the average person new to probiotics and seeking everyday gut and immune health support, we recommend starting with our lower CFU¹ formulas.^* If you have experience taking probiotics, you could start with a higher CFU formula like Ultimate Flora™ Women’s Once Daily Probiotic 25 Billion CFU¹.
