- CFU by blend: 10 billion CFU from the 4 Bifidobacterium strains and 10 billion CFU from the 5 lactobacilli, so you can see how the 20 billion adds up.
- Nothing to mix: no scoop, shaker or blender. Take one capsule during a meal.
- One bottle a month: 30 capsules, one a day for 30 days.
- The facts up front: the Supplement Facts, directions and cautions are on this page as text, so you can read them before you buy.

What’s in Probiotics 20 Billion CFU?
Each capsule has 20 billion CFU from 9 strains: 10 billion CFU from 4 Bifidobacterium strains (a 40 mg blend) and 10 billion CFU from 5 lactobacilli (a 51 mg blend). It also has 25 mg of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and 25 mg of larch arabinogalactan.
What does CFU mean?
CFU stands for colony-forming units, the standard way supplement labels count live bacteria. Each unit is a cell, or a cluster of cells, that can grow into a colony in a lab test.
Is 20 billion CFU a lot?
20 billion CFU is more than many probiotic supplements have, and less than some. According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, many probiotic supplements contain 1 to 10 billion CFU per dose, and some contain 50 billion CFU or more. NIH also notes that products with higher CFU counts aren’t necessarily more effective than products with lower counts.
What are the 9 strains?
Four bifidobacteria: Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Bl-04, Bifidobacterium breve Bb-03, Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb-02 and Bifidobacterium longum Bl-05.
Five lactobacilli: Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Lr-32, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Lp-115, Ligilactobacillus salivarius Ls-33 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus Lb-87.
What do strain codes like Bl-04 mean?
A probiotic species includes many different strains. The code after the name, such as Bl-04 or La-14, is the strain designation. Together, the genus, species and code identify one specific strain, the way a model number identifies one product. That’s why we list all 9 strains with their codes.
Bifidobacterium vs Lactobacillus: what’s the difference?
They’re two different groups of bacteria. According to NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, they’re the most common groups in probiotic products. Each capsule has 10 billion CFU from each: 4 Bifidobacterium strains and 5 lactobacilli.
Why do some strain names differ from the label?
In 2020, scientists split the genus Lactobacillus into 25 genera based on genetic data. Three of our strains moved to new genera: Lactobacillus rhamnosus is now Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum is now Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus salivarius is now Ligilactobacillus salivarius.
The other two are older species names still common on labels: Lactobacillus bulgaricus is now Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, and Bifidobacterium lactis is now Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis. The strains are the same; only the names changed.
How much of each strain is in a capsule?
Our label lists the strains in two proprietary blends and gives the CFU for each blend, not for each strain: 10 billion CFU for the 4 Bifidobacterium strains together and 10 billion CFU for the 5 lactobacilli together.
What are FOS and larch arabinogalactan?
Both are fibers: fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short chains of fructose, and larch arabinogalactan (FiberAid®) is a fiber from larch trees. Each capsule has 25 mg of each.
Both are often called prebiotics, but studies of these fibers generally use grams a day, far more than the 50 mg in a capsule. So we list them as ingredients and don’t make a prebiotic claim for them.
What’s the best time to take this probiotic?
Once a day, during a meal (with food), as the label directs. Breakfast, lunch or dinner: pick the meal that fits your routine.
How should I store it?
As the label directs: in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
How many capsules can I take a day?
One, which is one serving, during a meal. Don’t take more than the label directs unless your healthcare practitioner advises it.
Can I take it with medication?
Ask your healthcare practitioner first if you take any prescription medication, especially an antibiotic or a medication that suppresses the immune system.
Is it for adults only?
Yes. Probiotics 20 Billion CFU is for adults and isn’t intended for children. Keep it out of reach of children.
Is it vegetarian or vegan?
The capsule shell is vegetarian: it’s made of modified cellulose and water. We don’t make a vegetarian or vegan claim for the whole product.
Does it contain milk or gluten?
Its listed ingredients don’t include milk or wheat, but this page doesn’t claim it’s free of milk or gluten. Probiotic strains can be grown on media that contain milk. If you have a food allergy or need to avoid gluten, ask your healthcare practitioner before taking it.
Does this probiotic contain caffeine, sweeteners or flavors?
None of its listed ingredients is a source of caffeine or other stimulants. It’s an unflavored capsule, and the label lists no flavors or sweeteners.
How long does a bottle last?
A bottle holds 30 capsules, so it lasts 30 days at one capsule a day. At $28.00, that’s $0.93 a capsule.
How does the subscription work?
Choose how often it renews: every 1, 2, 3 or 4 months. Subscription orders are 10% off: $0.84 a capsule instead of $0.93. It renews automatically until you cancel. Each renewal is $25.20 a bottle before any shipping or tax.
Can I take it with other Mother Earth Labs products?
Its Supplement Facts list no vitamins or minerals, so it adds no declared vitamins or minerals to your totals from other supplements. OrganiEarth also contains probiotics (5 billion CFU from 6 species a scoop), so check both labels if you take them together. Ask your healthcare practitioner before combining supplements.
Where is it made?
Probiotics 20 Billion CFU is made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
We offer free shipping on orders over $99. Orders generally ship within 1-2 business days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.
The holidays are our busiest (and favorite!) time of year. Because of increased order volumes, delivery may take a little longer than normal. Rest assured—we’re doing everything we can to get your items to you as quickly and carefully as possible
