Complete AfterBiotics Probiotics & SBOs
Dr. Mercola
Overview
Dr. Mercola's Complete AfterBiotics Probiotics & SBOs offers a robust blend of well-researched probiotic strains, spore-forming bacteria, and a prebiotic complex. The total 18 billion CFU, combined with specific strains like *S. boulardii* and *L. rhamnosus* GG, suggests high efficacy for key benefits such as preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea and improving gut balance. The inclusion of SBOs and a prebiotic provides a more holistic approach to gut health, though the exact benefits of the citrus extracts in a probiotic context are less quantified.
The Good
Diverse blend of established probiotic strains and resilient Soil-Based Organisms (SBOs).
Includes *Saccharomyces boulardii* and *Lactobacillus rhamnosus* GG, highly effective for preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Spore-forming SBOs enhance survival through the digestive tract.
The Bad
Proprietary blend 'Dr. Mercola'S Afterbiotics Probiotic And Sbo Blend' does not disclose the individual amounts of each probiotic strain, making precise efficacy assessment difficult.
The benefits of the citrus bioflavonoid complex primarily relate to general health, with its specific 'prebiotic' action less robustly defined compared to traditional prebiotics.
Potential for mild gastrointestinal discomfort (gas, bloating) in sensitive individuals, especially at the start of supplementation.
