Frequently Asked Questions

What does 80 billion CFU mean in a probiotic?

CFU stands for colony-forming units, a measurement used to estimate the number of living and viable bacteria. An 80 billion CFU count is a maximum-potency daily dose, and what determines its real-world value is whether that count is guaranteed at the time you actually take it, not only at the point of manufacture. Extra Care Probiotic Supplements guarantee 80 billion CFU all the way until the best-before date, so the full stated dose is there every time you need it.†

Is 80 billion CFU too much for a daily probiotic?

For most healthy adults, 80 billion CFU is a well-tolerated high-potency daily dose. Extra Care Probiotic Supplements deliver 80 billion CFU across three exclusive strains in a targeted-release technology capsule that promotes digestive health.† If you are new to high-potency probiotics or have a sensitive digestive system, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before starting any new probiotic supplement to confirm the potency level is the right fit for your routine and health goals.†

What makes Bio-K+ Extra Care different from other 80 billion CFU probiotics?

Most 80 billion CFU products guarantee potency only at the time of manufacture, not at the time of use. Bacteria naturally decline during storage, meaning what you receive may be significantly less than what the label states. Extra Care guarantees 80 billion CFU until the best-before date, built on three exclusive, clinically studied strains supported by 16 published clinical trials and more than 30 years of research, in a targeted-release technology capsule that promotes digestive health.†

What are the benefits of an 80 billion CFU probiotic supplement?

A high-potency probiotic supplement like this delivers a maximum-potency dose of live bacteria to promote digestive health and support a balanced gut microbiome.† At this potency tier, the quality of the potency guarantee and the clinical evidence behind the strains matter as much as the number itself. Extra Care combines 80 billion CFU, guaranteed until the best-before date, with three exclusively formulated strains, backed by 16 published clinical trials and more than 30 years of scientific research.†

How does the 80 billion CFU Extra Care compare to the 50 billion CFU Daily Care+?

Both Extra Care (80 billion CFU) and Daily Care+ (50 billion CFU) probiotic supplements deliver the same three exclusive bacterial strains in a targeted-release technology capsule format that promotes digestive health.† Extra Care is the higher-potency option for those seeking a more concentrated daily dose, with the same best-before date potency guarantee applied to every bottle. The choice between the two ultimately comes down to the potency level that best fits your daily routine and personal wellness goals.†

What are the side effects of an 80 billion CFU probiotic?

A high-potency probiotic supplement is generally well tolerated by healthy adults, though some people notice mild, temporary digestive adjustments such as bloating or gas when starting a new probiotic routine, which typically settle as the body adapts.† Starting with a consistent daily routine and staying hydrated can help. Anyone who is pregnant, nursing, immunocompromised, or managing a medical condition should speak with a healthcare professional before adding any new probiotic supplement to their routine.†
