How do I measure this?
Two measuring spoons are included. The small spoon is 100 Billion CFU (0.1g) and the big spoon is 800 Billion CFU (0.8g).
Why powder and not capsules?
Our probiotic powder has no additives. Many people don't realize that a lot of additives worsen their symptoms. Additionally, the microbiome in your mouth, esophagus, and stomach are incredibly important to your health. Taking our flavorless probiotic powder keeps those areas healthy.
Why High Potency? How much should I take?
Using a dose less than 25 Billion per day will have limited health benefits -- you will need a higher potency to get desirable results. Many people have used other probiotic brands with minimal results because of their low potency.
It depends on the person and the issue that is being addressed. You’ll start to see results at a minimum of 25 Billion CFUs per day. The average daily dose by our customers is between 200-400 Billion CFUs per day. Some people see significant results with dosages as high as 800 Billion CFUs per day.

Can infants and children take probiotics?
Based on existing research, infants can start taking probiotics at 6 months of age.
How much probiotics can an infant take?
Infants can take up to 50 Billion CFU per day.
What are CFUs?
CFU stands for Colony Forming Unit. This is the bacterial count of probiotics.
Why aren’t BulkProbiotics enteric coated?
Enteric coated probiotics are mainly a marketing gimmick. The strains that are used at BulkProbiotics are vetted to have excellent acid and bile tolerance as well as the capacity to survive intestinal transit.
What happens if I leave the probiotics outside of the refrigerator for a couple of days?
2 year temperature stability testing has been performed on our probiotics and the loss would be negligible. Our probiotics can remain at room temperature (or travel) for 5 weeks with limited loss, however, it is best to store the probiotics in the refrigerator for optimum potency.
Why do some individuals get a “die-off” reaction?
This is due to a ‘war’ that occurs between the probiotics and the bad bacteria in your body. If there is a large imbalance in your gut bacteria, the die-off reaction will be higher. To avoid this we recommend that you gradually increase your dosage starting with about 25 Billion CFU per day and increase every few days over a couple of weeks.
Do your probiotics contain any dairy or gluten?
Our probiotics are dairy and gluten free. They do not utilize milk, milk derivatives, GOS, or Inulin as additional ingredients in the fermentation media.
When should I take probiotics? Is it ok to take probiotics with drugs, vitamins, or antibiotics?
As a digestive aid, it is best to take 30 minutes before a meal; otherwise, it is also ok to take on an empty stomach in the morning or at bedtime (at least 2 hours after eating). Probiotics should not be taken with antibiotics (take 2 hours before or after taking antibiotics).
What is the return policy?
We accept returns within 30 days for all 10g probiotic powders that are unopened. We do not accept returns for any other sizes. The 10g size is available to experiment to help you find the right probiotic strains for you.
L. lactis is a commonly used probiotic whose health benefits we are just beginning to understand. This bacterium boosts the immune system, may combat allergies, hypertension, and IBD, and has beneficial effects on the skin.
What is L. lactis?
Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid-producing Gram-positive species of bacteria used extensively in the production of buttermilk, cheese, pickled vegetables, and other fermented products.
L. lactis is often studied as a genetically modified organism for the treatment of animal [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and human diseases [7]. Its health benefits as a probiotic, however, are not as well-known or researched.
Note that this post is about Lactococcus lactis. For more information about the bacterium formerly known as Lactobacillus lactis, check out this post on L. delbrueckii.
Antioxidant Properties
Exopolysaccharide (EPS) of L. lactis increased catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in mice [8].
Potential Benefits of L. lactis
L. lactis probiotic supplements have not been approved by the FDA for medical use and generally lack solid clinical research. Regulations set manufacturing standards for them but don’t guarantee that they’re safe or effective. Speak with your doctor before supplementing.
Insufficient Evidence For
The following purported benefits are only supported by limited, low-quality clinical studies. There is insufficient evidence to support the use of L. lactis for any of the below-listed uses. Remember to speak with a doctor before taking L. lactis probiotic supplements, and never use them in place of something your doctor recommends or prescribes.
1) Skin Health
Ingestion of milk fermented with L. lactis increased sebum production, thereby potentially reinforcing the skin barrier in 23 healthy young women [9].
Ingestion of heat-killed L. lactis also maintained skin hydration and improved subjective skin elasticity in 30 middle-aged Japanese women [10].
