If you are not getting the expected results, increase the dosage gradually. You may also visit our Dosage Suggestions page for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why are we called Custom Probiotics?
A. We can make a custom blend using any of the single strains carried on our website and add them to one of our formulations.
Q. What are probiotics and how do they work?
A. Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that help support digestive and microbial balance. Antibiotics, infection, diet, and stress can negatively affect intestinal microflora. Learn more about probiotics.
Q. Do your products contain dairy or gluten?
A. Our products are dairy and casein free, hypoallergenic, and do not contain artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sugar, gluten, soy, or FOS.
Q. Should I follow a certain diet while taking probiotics?
A. Diet needs vary by individual. Many customers choose a natural-food diet with vegetables, fiber, and limited refined sugar. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional about your specific needs.
Q. What are CFU’s?
A. Colony Forming Units. It is the bacterial count used to describe probiotic potency.
Q. How do I know I’m getting the specified amount of CFU’s?
A. We use independent laboratory testing to verify bacterial count. The count stated on the label is the potency specified for the product’s expiration date.
Q. What is a good dosage?
A. Dosage varies from person to person. Start with a low amount and increase gradually according to your response and the guidance provided on our Dosage Suggestions page.
Q. What time of day should I take probiotics?
A. Probiotics are generally taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and/or at bedtime. If taking antibiotics, the original page recommends a 2-hour separation.
Q. How long will a 50-gram or 100-gram powder last?
A. The duration depends on the scoop size and daily dosage. The L. Casei product potency is 300 billion CFU per gram, so use the product-specific scoop information and dosage guidance rather than the generic 200-billion-CFU calculations from older pages.
| Container Size | Daily Use | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| 50 grams | Varies by recommended serving | Depends on dosage |
| 100 grams | Varies by recommended serving | Approximately twice the duration of 50 grams |
Q. Why do some people experience a “die-off” reaction?
A. Some individuals report temporary digestive changes when starting probiotics. Increasing gradually may improve tolerance. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms are severe or persistent.
Q. What happens if probiotics stay out of the refrigerator for a few days?
A. Our probiotics can travel for 2–3 weeks without refrigeration with minimal potency loss. Refrigeration is still recommended for optimum long-term potency.
Q. Why aren’t Custom Probiotics enteric coated?
A. Our strains are selected for acid and bile tolerance and for their ability to survive intestinal transit.
Testimonials
I was very sick with gut Candida, an ulcer caused by H. pylori, and a weakened immune system. After starting the 11-Strain Custom Probiotics product, I began feeling drastically better within a few days.
After using the 11-Strain probiotic for almost three years, I was able to increase the dosage and felt that my body responded very positively.
I had years of chronic intestinal problems and repeated courses of antibiotics. After starting the 11-Strain probiotic consistently, my bowel movements became regular and the bloating improved.
I ordered the 11-Strain powder for myself and also started giving it to my son. Within about a month, we were very encouraged by the changes we observed.
