Re: PROBIOTICS INFO/ Rhamnosus GG, etc./urinary and vaginal infections

[Guest guest]

Hi Dusty, This is a lot of information. On the last

page of the first link you gave below explains what my

confusion is. The Rhamnosus GG is different from the

Rhamnosus GR-l. Probifloria has GR-1. Culturelle has

GG and I don't know what Femdophilus has at the

moment. I am just trying to figure out which is the

best and most efficient. Maybe both are the same. Is

one a fake and a scam and the other the real thing.

Maybe I think too much about nothing LOL. It doesn't

matter if they all work or even one of them but it

just makes me curious about them. The makers all seem

to make the same claims about them.

" What should be considered when choosing a probiotic?

Microbiologists agree that it cannot be assumed that

research published on one strain of probiotic applies

to another strain, even of the same species.

(Remember, for the strain “Lactobacillus rhamnosus

GG”, the genus is Lactobacillus, the species is

rhamnosus and the strain designation is GG. Another

strain of L. rhamnosus, for example strain GR-1, has

different probiotic properties.) Therefore,

documentation of type of bacteria (genus, species and

strain), potency (number of viable bacteria per dose),

purity (presence of contaminating or ineffective

bacteria), and the extent of research that has been

published on health effects, must be provided for any

strain being used in a product. Usually the culture or

product manufacturer can provide this information "
