Introduction
If you’ve ever been unsure about which probiotic is right for you, here are seven tips to help you choose the best probiotic supplement.
ADVERT
1. Alive
Remember, a probiotic is actually alive. This means you need to trust the company you're purchasing from, ensuring they follow proper standards to maintain the viability of those live microorganisms in the supplement.
2. Acid Stable
When choosing a probiotic, it's crucial to look for one that contains acid-stable strains—meaning the specific probiotics have been scientifically tested to survive the harsh environment of stomach acid. At Vitatree, we prioritize this by carefully selecting strains that are proven to make it all the way to the intestines, where they can actually do their job.
While some brands rely on complex encapsulation methods, we believe that strain stability matters more. After all, if the capsule doesn’t open at the right time, those beneficial bacteria might never reach where they’re needed most.
Over the years, we’ve found that some of the most effective and research-backed probiotic strains include Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. That’s why we include these in our formula—and ensure they’re tested for acid stability—so they can support digestive health in both the small and large intestines.

3. Prebiotic
A good probiotic will also include prebiotics—food that nourishes the live microorganisms. For example, something like FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) provides the necessary fuel for the probiotics to replicate and stay in your intestines for an extended period.
4. Human Microflora
Not all probiotics are created equal. At [Your Co, we formulate our probiotics specifically for the human digestive tract, because that’s where they need to thrive. There are countless strains out there, but through extensive research and clinical insights, we've found that the best results come from probiotics designed to support the unique microflora of the human gut. That’s why we carefully select and include strains that are not only compatible with the human microbiome, but also backed by years of real-world effectiveness.
5. No Magnesium Stearate
Make sure the probiotic doesn’t contain magnesium stearate or vegetable stearic acid. While these may sound like natural ingredients, they’re actually chemicals used as flow agents to speed up production. Unfortunately, magnesium stearate is found in most encapsulated probiotics and hasn’t been tested for long-term safety in humans, even in small amounts. Be sure to check your supplement labels to ensure these substances aren’t included.
6. No Fillers
At Vitatree, we believe what’s not in your probiotic is just as important as what is. That’s why one of our top priorities is keeping our formulas free from unnecessary fillers. Many supplements on the market include questionable non-medicinal ingredients like Silicon Dioxide, Titanium Dioxide (which has now been banned in Europe), and cellulose, often derived from wood pulp. These additives can interfere with digestion and may even contribute to gas, bloating, or discomfort—ironically, the very issues people take probiotics to avoid. We’re committed to transparency and gut-friendly formulations, with clean ingredients you can trust.
7. Right Strains
When it comes to probiotics, strain selection is everything. Vitatree focuses on keeping it simple and effective by including only the most researched, gut-friendly strains—not an overwhelming list of dozens you don’t need. That’s why we formulate with just a few powerful strains, including Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. These two have been shown to naturally thrive in both the small and large intestines, where they support key functions like digestion, nutrient absorption, and metabolism. Whether you're getting your nutrients from food or high-quality supplements, these strains help you get the most out of what you’re taking in. We don’t believe in overcomplicating—just in delivering what works.
