Overview

Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Probiotics Once Daily provides 30 billion CFU from 14 probiotic strains in a shelf-stable, once-daily capsule. Formulated by Dr. David Perlmutter (neurologist and author of Grain Brain), this probiotic uses a patented DRcaps delivery system that protects probiotics from stomach acid, ensuring they reach the intestines alive. The shelf-stable formula eliminates the need for refrigeration — a major convenience advantage. The 14-strain blend includes Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species selected for digestive and immune health.
