Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I had that worry too, but since my ABX kill so much good bacteria it's good for me to take them. And two of my products call for 2 per day and I only take one of each (as I can't figure out which to get rid of!) the FemDophilus and Chulturelle only have one or two strains and the organism count isn't way up there. It all depends on what you take and how much. One of my Probiotics has 15 different strains and 30 billion organisms. The other one (that is highly recommended by good Dr's and in Prevention Mag) has 8 different strains and only 4.4 billion. So there can be a huge difference. Did you try changing brands or reducing your dose? I plan to take them for the rest of my life but once I go off ABX I will take much lower doses.
