Why use powders over capsules?

by @ Custom Probiotics Canada: Latest News

Wed Dec 31 11:00:00 PST 2014

Powders allow you to vary your dosage very easily. You can take as little or much as you personally require this way. For example, some of our clients use a baby scoop of powder a day which is about 30 – 40 billion CFU. Others take up to 4 adult scoops a day, that’s about 1.2 Trillion CFU a day! That would be about 15 capsules!

So if you want to take a high amount of CFU, we would suggest trying the powders. They also cost less per CFU compared to the capsules.

Below is one of our popular powders we recommend starting with.
