you can purchase the pricey stuff or you can buy the store brand *like i do* and my dr said that is just fine as its all the same pretty much..your choice:

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. Probiotics are naturally found in your body. You can also find them in some foods and supplements. It’s only been since about the mid-1990s that people have wanted to know more about probiotics and their health benefits. Doctors often suggest them to help with digestive problems.

Probiotics help move food through your gut. Researchers are still trying to figure out which are best for certain health problems. Some common conditions they treat are:

1. Irritable bowel syndrome
2. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
3. Infectious diarrhea (caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites)
4. Antibiotic-related diarrhea
