Some Of The Best Multi Strain Probiotic Supplements

By Lelia Hall


Probiotics were discovered to be very important to the digestion and overall immunity of a person because the body needs good bacteria in order to combat the bad ones inside the body. In fact, Australian doctors agree that if a patient would take an antibiotic, he has to make sure that he takes probiotics during the course. So for those who would want to improve their health, here are some of the best multi strain probiotic supplements out there in the market.

For the past few years, many scientists have been experimenting with using different strains of bacteria in order to create a supplement. Since each strain has a different function, one can be able to get all of the important functions in one supplement. Here are a few products that have made it quite big in the market.

Now GNC, one of the very well known health store brand names, would have their own probiotics. They have the very popular GNC 25 CFU Probiotic supplements. Now this supplement would have exactly 16 strains and would have a bacteria number of 25 million.

Of course another brand of probiotics would be Nexabiotic which instead of 16 strains, has 21 strains that would come from different kinds of fermentation processes. Of course this one has quite a high bacteria count reaching up to 30 million CFU in one capsule. This is in fact known to be a very famous brand in the west.

Of course in the East, there is a different philosophy that scientists would follow when they would create their own probiotics. Now unlike the ones in the west, the east believes that having a lower CFU but more effective strains will help the human body better. This is such with the Osumex LB17 which is a probiotic supplement that creates lactic acid bacteria from fermentation of fruits and vegetables.

Of course another market leader of probiotics comes from Japan under the brand name of OMX created by Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira. Now this one has 12 strains of good bacteria with the main component of this one coming from a fermented food that is known as tempeh. Of course unlike the western probiotics, this one just has a CFU of 1 million but is very effective to people as the bacteria is live and very natural.

When Dr. Ohhira split up with his Malaysian business partner Dr. Eddie Lim, Mr. Lim further enhanced the product by putting in 4 more strains of bacteria to the 12. In order to make his product more superior, he put in a bacteria found from the gastrointestinal tract of a human. His company, which he named Pan OMX, then named his creation as the second generation probiotics.

So as one can see, there are so many types to choose from. Now for the ones who want a more affordable and good product, choose from the first two. For those who can afford a higher price and would want something of higher quality, choose from the last three.
