Labelling checklist

Do the calculations:
What is the amount in one capsule/tablet, what is the daily dosage?

Indeed, caution is necessary when reading the label. It is a common practice for the advertised quantity to represent the daily dose, which may require consuming 2, 3, or 4 capsules daily.

In such cases, the total number of capsules or tablets in the package may appear deceptively large but may not be sufficient for many weeks.

Labels often display the total CFU count for all probiotic strains combined, which isn't inherently a disadvantage.
 

However, it's equally important to know the specific CFU count of each individual probiotic strain in the mix.

The stability of probiotic strains over a product's shelf life is critical, making the declaration of CFU count significant.

Reputable manufacturers often state the CFU count at the end of the product’s shelf life, ensuring an extra layer of assurance for the consumer.
