Our goal is to help you make informed decisions based on transparent and rigorous criteria, expert-reviewed data and unbiased information.

1. Comprehensive Listings: Explore an extensive database of commercially available probiotics specifically formulated with strains that have been studied in randomized, placebo-controlled trials.
2. Rigorous Screening Process: Each product is evaluated based on stringent criteria:
   1. Transparent formulas.
   2. Probiotics delivered at doses studied in randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs).
   3. Exclusive use of RCT-studied probiotics as active ingredients, with no interfering actives.
3. Expert Reviews: Our team of healthcare professionals carefully screens and reviews each product.
4. Unbiased Information: Unlike many other sites, we do not feature sponsored products or affiliate links. Our platform is open-source, allowing anyone to submit a product for screening.

Enhanced screening criteria

We are continuously improving our screening process. Soon, we will include additional criteria such as:

• 3rd Party Testing for Active Ingredients and Amounts (CFUs): Ensuring that products contain the probiotics and quantities they claim.
• 3rd Party Testing for Allergens: Verifying the absence of common allergens.
• 3rd Party Testing for Microbiological Contaminants: Ensuring the purity and safety of probiotic products.
