Probiotic Supplements

Probiotic supplements contain live microorganisms, often described as friendly bacteria. Different products can contain different strains, combinations and amounts, so choosing a probiotic isn't simply about finding the product with the biggest number on the label.

At Evergreen, you'll find a wide selection of probiotic supplements from trusted brands, with different formulas and formats to suit individual preferences and routines.

What Are Probiotics?

Probiotics are live microorganisms found in certain foods and supplements. You may also see terms such as friendly bacteria or live cultures used when talking about probiotic products.

There are many different types of bacteria used in probiotic supplements, including strains belonging to groups such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.

If you'd like to understand more before choosing a supplement, our What Are Probiotics? guide explains probiotics, strains and how they differ in more detail.

How to Choose a Probiotic Supplement

With so many probiotic products available, it can be difficult to know where to start.

When comparing probiotics, consider the individual strains included, recommended serving, format, storage instructions and whether the product is suitable for your dietary requirements.

A higher number of strains or microorganisms doesn't automatically make one probiotic better than another. Look at the complete formula and choose a product appropriate for your individual needs.

Different Types of Probiotics

Probiotic supplements are available in several different formats.

Capsules and tablets are convenient for everyday use, while powders and sachets can provide an alternative for people who prefer not to take tablets. 

Some products contain a single type of bacteria, while others combine several different strains.

Probiotics for Women

Some probiotic supplements are specifically formulated for women, using selected strains and, depending on the product, additional ingredients.

Explore our Women’s Probiotics collection if you're looking specifically for a women-focused formula.

Probiotics for Children

Children shouldn't automatically be given an adult probiotic. Products designed for younger age groups can differ in their strains, serving sizes and formats. Our Children’s Digestion collection includes age-appropriate probiotics alongside selected children's digestive supplements.

Always check the recommended age and directions on the individual product.

What Is Acidophilus?

Acidophilus, or Lactobacillus acidophilus, is one of the bacterial species commonly found in probiotic supplements.

Some supplements focus specifically on acidophilus, while others include it as part of a combination of different bacteria.

If you're specifically looking for this type, explore our Acidophilus collection.

Probiotics and Prebiotics – What's the Difference?

Although the names sound similar, probiotics and prebiotics aren't the same.

Probiotics are live microorganisms. Prebiotics are substances, often types of fibre, that can be used by bacteria in the gut.

Some supplements contain both. Our Prebiotics vs Probiotics guide explains the difference in more detail.
