Cost?

For fairness, it was not specified species against not specified species.

I Spot Checked Lactobacillus Gasseri:

• 50 servings of 5 BCFU  = 250 BCFU for £23.53  ==> $31.32 

Reference:

• Swanson’s  60 capsules x 3 BCFU x 2 = 360 BCFU for $16.00 ==> £12.02

I Spot Checked Lactobacillus Reuteri etc

• 50 servings of 5 BCFU  = 250 BCFU for £23.53  ==> $31.32 

Reference:

• Swanson’s  30 capsules x 7 BCFU x 2 = 420 BCFU for $11.00 ==> £8.27

Bottom Line

While they are more expensive and lack strain information — a few hard to find by themselves species are available.

On the other hand, for items Bifidobacterium Infantis – Align If you got a FRESH BOX … the study dosage is 10 capsules per day (10 BCFU) if you want to repro a successful study
that is $7.50/day. While the strain is unknown, Epigenetics product may be a lot cheaper (at 5 bn CFU/serving) or  $0.95/day.
