Our probiotic powders are offered in quantities of 30 gram or 60 gram using Amber Glass 150CC or 200CC bottle sizes. Probiotic powders vary in volume, texture, and appearance while some strains are light and fluffy other are high in density. This is the reason why some products appear fuller in comparison. The label on the bottle states the amount contained of each product.

While probiotic supplements are considered safe, there is a possibility that you'll experience side effects while taking them, especially in the beginning. Upset stomach, bloating, gas and diarrhea are common (and usually mild) side effects that resolve fairly quickly. If symptoms become too uncomfortable, you can reduce your dosage until they subside and then try slowly increasing to the full dosage or your doctor's specific recommendation.

When using our products, we highly recommend keeping them stored properly as indicated on bottle label. This means avoid any moisture getting inside the bottle, so it doesn't change from powder form to a solid appearance. Therefore, it is important to keep the cap closed tightly when stored. When scooping the probiotic out of the bottle by using the spoons or utensils, they must be completely dry to avoid moisture getting inside the bottle. The probiotic is still effective, but we recommend following our recommendations to avoid change in appearance.
