Supplements are all the rage nowadays, and some for good cause. Because of this, the wild world of probiotics can seem daunting at times. Dietary aides aren’t regulated by the FDA, so you’ll have to do your own research and find a brand you can trust.

Note that good marketing doesn’t make a product good. Fancy and pretty packaging doesn’t make it more effective. But also being a “household name” doesn’t make a probiotic work better either. Sometimes price matters, while sometimes expensive is a waste of money.

Enough probiotics can be tough to fit into an average American diet, so a probiotic supplement isn’t a bad idea for most people. This post is designed to help you figure out what probiotic might fit best in your life.

What to Look for in Probiotics

Remember, cheap usually isn’t good, and good usually isn’t that cheap when we’re talking about supplements. Most quality probiotics end up being at least $1/day ($30/bottle).

That being said, probiotics aren’t one size fits all. It usually takes a few different brands before someone can nail down their favorite probiotic. Hopefully this list can help you find yours faster.

Basically you want to look for a probiotic with: over 5 billion CFUs, a time capsule release mechanism, # different strains, and preferably with an added prebiotic to feed all the probiotics!

Made for Kids

KidScents MightyPro

These little packets literally taste like pixie sticks and contain more than 8 billion active, live cultures. But trust me, even if you don’t have kids, they’re worth a try for yourself! Plus, it’s super easy to chuck a few in your bag if you’re traveling or on-the-go. KidScents MightyPro is a 2-in-1 pre/probiotic, which is perfect since probiotics need the former to function properly.

Budget Friendly Option

Renew Life

This probiotic comes in a range of strengths, so you can get 30 CFUs for only $26.99 (currently on sale for $16.98 at the time of this post)! It includes 12 different strains, plus it is non-GMO and gluten/dairy/soy-free. If you really can’t make room in your budget for a pricier supplement, this one should work just fine.

Purely Vegan Probiotics

Seed Daily Synbiotic

This option is a honestly little bougie, but definitely worth the hype. This company has 30 day money back guarantee, so there’s really no reason not to try out their probiotic. Plus, the packaging is so pretty, I mean who wouldn’t wanna try it just for that! Their website is filled with tons of information and science for you to check out.

In the Grocery Aisle

Nouri

Found in Whole foods, this probiotic has clean ingredients all around and delivers over 30 billion CFUs. There are three different options to choose from: digestive, women’s, and weight health. In addition to the probiotic, this bottle will also give you a dose of plant-based omega oil from the ahiflower plant (aka no fishy smell or taste).

For Digestive Issues like IBS

Visbiome

This probiotic is a bit expensive, but for good reason! It contains a high potency, medical grade supplement (450 billion CFU) for those dealing with IBS specifically. The gut is our second brain, so it’s important to take care of it. Always be sure to check with your doctor before taking a new supplement, but especially with extra-strength ones like this.

My Probiotics Pick

All are great options depending on your place in life. Currently, I am in love with the KidScents MightyPro – it’s not just for kids! Very convenient if you’re always on the go like me, and I’ll be honest, it tastes like candy. Let me know in the comments what probiotic you love!
