Sometimes clients will ask for an alternative to the two Probiotic supplements that we offer, Clove Hill Clear Skin Probiotic and VitaMedica Probiotic-8 for Acne.  

If this is the case, let your client know that the goal in choosing an Acne Safe Probiotic is the following:

• No Dairy
• No Soy
• At least 8 strains
• At least 50 billions of CFU's (colony forming units) or more

The two strains that have been found to be the most beneficial in reducing acne are:

• Lactobacillus
• Bifidobacterium

Price is a great indicator of strength.  If you are only spending $10-$20 then it is a very low dose.  A good quality Probiotic will cost at least $35-$55.  

It is recommended to alternate between brands of probiotics to encourage a variety of bacteria.
