Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi, Can anyone recommend a vegan probiotic or prebiotic? I would also like to have an explanation of these two terms. I have found it very difficult to find one of these products that is clearly vegan. Thanks for any recommendations. Susan Murphy More new features than ever. Check out the new AOL Mail!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi Susan, Check out New Chapter All-Flora Whole-Food Probiotics. On the front of the bottle it says “Non-Diary Base” and they are made with Vcaps (vegetarian capsules). This one doesn’t need to be refrigerated. http://www.newchapter.com/product-categories/probiotics I also use another one that does need to be refrigerated but I forget what its called –I don’t know the difference between the ones that need to be refrigerated or not but previously I thought they were better if there were refrigerated. Maybe someone can comment on that. Veglife also has one although I’ve never tried it or had anyone recommend it in the health food store where I go. http://www.nutraceutical.com/search/view_product.cfm?product_index=3263055 I noticed that it has about half the amount of strains that New Chapter’s has and it has 3.5 billion rather than New Chapter’s 6 billion. What I’ve heard and read is that it’s important to get one that has lots of different strains. Some say that you need to take them with food or on an empty stomach or before or after a meal and some don’t so that might also be something to consider as well, what would be practical for your life. The New Chapter says to take two capsules on an empty stomach so I take it first thing in the morning.
