Overall Opinion:

There are a handful of things I really like about Florajen Women High Potency Probiotic.

This probiotic is designed specifically for women who are taking antibiotics to ease the icky side effects, while also helping restore and balance vaginal flora and maintaining healthy pH levels.

They use 3 incredibly well-researched and beneficial probiotic strains and in the CFU range of the clinical studies (10-15 billion).

The capsules are a lot smaller than average and super easy to take!  You also can take them with or without food, which is really convenient.

I personally didn’t have any side effects and I noticed some improvement with my overall gut issues and gas and bloating from my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

It’s also really allergy friendly, non-GMO, free of coloring and preservatives, and is Kosher.

The capsules are formulated to be stomach acid-resistant and bile tolerant, which is really important in order for the healthy bacteria to stay alive for the internal journey.

However, there are a few things I don’t like about this women’s probiotic.

Although I really like the probiotics strains used (they’re all very well-known and researched), I wish they had a few more strains to help make it a bit more diverse.

I also wish they had included some sort of prebiotic fiber, which acts as a type of fertilizer for the healthy bacteria.

The company goes above and beyond with their “Cold Chain Commitment”, meaning that from the time their probiotics are manufactured to when you receive them, they are kept cold.

They say to ensure refrigerated product upon arrival, order Florajen Probiotics from (Ships and Sold by Amazon).

I bought mine from Amazon and it absolutely arrived in a little cooler-type box, but unfortunately it wasn’t cold at all. :(

The company says it can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks and still maintain effectiveness.

They also say to refrigerate for maximum freshness and potency.  I popped mine into the fridge right after I received it.

Overall, I rate this probiotic 2.5/5 stars because it landed right on the middle ground as far as average probiotic supplements go.

The Details:

Ingredients/Strain Profile

Florajen Women High Potency Probiotic has 15 billion colony forming units (CFU) from 3 probiotic strains.

The strains are Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14®, Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001®, and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®.

L acidophilus La-14® is a lactic acid bacterium that’s been in over 50 scientific studies, including 18 clinical trials.  Preclinical studies show that La-14® may positively influence the natural and adaptive immune system.  These effects lead to helpful antipathogenic activity.

When La-14® and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001® are used together, they’ve been shown to support women’s health by supporting healthy vaginal colonization through oral supplementation.  Both La-14® and HN001® may also help with bacterial vaginosis and candida overgrowth.

 Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM® is another well-researched strain, possibly one of the most researched strains in the acidophilus species.  Studies show many gastrointestinal benefits like helping relieve symptoms of pain, bloating, and discomfort from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and instances of constipation and diarrhea.  NCFM® has also been shown to improve immune function, lactose intolerance, and repopulating gut microbiota after antibiotics.

One thing to note is that this probiotic is lacking any type of prebiotic fiber in it, which is a bummer.

Allergy Concerns

This probiotic is very allergy friendly.

It doesn’t contain milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or soy.

It’s also free of gluten, dairy, coloring and preservatives.

The capsules are non-GMO, Kosher and manufactured in the USA in GMP-certified facilities.

It also says it’s safe for expectant mothers and infants.  But of course, always check with your physician beforehand.

The other ingredients include Microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.

Price/Value

I bought my bottle of Florajen Women High Potency Probiotic from Amazon.

It’s $17.49 for 30 capsules (1-month supply).

That works out to 58 cents per day to take this probiotic.

The price point is right there in the average range and maybe even a little on the cheaper side.

I think the price and the value match up well.

Side Effects

I didn’t personally experience any negative side effects with this probiotic.

15 billion CFU is definitely on the high end and more for specific ailments.

Florajen mentions that some GI discomfort can occur when taking probiotics, are usually transient in nature, and resolve within 2 weeks. Please consult a healthcare professional if symptoms worsen or persist.
