As you browse this category, remember to avoid guessing when shopping for supplements or over-the-counter medications and seek clinical advice as often as necessary**
The availability of supplements and over-the-counter medications varies across the globe. Thus a specific product that I recommend here may not be available in your area. If that is the case, a reliable alternate option will be displayed for you. These selections and their alternatives are NOT automatically picked by a computer algorithm but evaluated by myself for the reliability of their active & inactive ingredients, length of time on the market (postmarketing surveillance), and past customers’ feedback.
Before you search, here are a few things to know about probiotics.

Probiotics for Women
| Dr. Alice’s Recommendation |
Product Link |
| Delivers a complex mix of 16 different probiotic strains together with the necessary prebiotic fiber mix to jump-start their growth and acclimation in the gut environment. The supplement is developed for adult women’s needs and thus is not indicated in children. For teenage girls, initiation of supplementation on a child dose is recommended. Graduation into the utilization of this product is only necessary if the initial symptoms that led to the utilization of probiotics still persist. Cramping may be dose-limiting if this product is administered to teenage girls, particularly if the administration overlapped with ovulation during the menstrual cycle.

Garden of Life Women Probiotics |
| This product remarks itself by the impressive bestseller position held since its introduction on the market. It contains a complex mix of 15 probiotic strains which can be delivered more effectively than other similar products. You may notice the much lower dose necessary for adult administration. Given the lower dose, the product can be administered to both men and women. The product has the disadvantage of not being supplied with the necessary prebiotic fiber mix, a product commercialized separately by the manufacturer; however, it does contain fructooligosaccharides. This inconvenience increases the total cost per daily dose as compared to the other competitors. Its overall effectiveness is otherwise confirmed by numerous reviews accessible to the public.

| Delivers a complex mix of 16 different probiotic strains together with the necessary prebiotic fiber mix to jump-start their growth and acclimation in the gut environment.

Graduation into the utilization of this product is only necessary if the initial symptoms that led to the utilization of probiotics still persist.

Probiotics for Children
| Dr. Alice’s Recommendation |
Product Link |
| Delivers a complex mix of 14 different probiotic strains together with the necessary prebiotic fiber mix to jump-start their growth and acclimation in the gut environment. The supplement is developed for child needs, and thus may not be effective in adults. However, this product may constitute a very good start for adults sensitive to cramping and bloating caused by the adult dose. In such adults, this product can be administered for 2-4 weeks, then the adult dose may be re-attempted. The only difference between this product and the “purple label” kids supplement of the same manufacturer (below) is the fact that the purple label product is gluten/dairy/soy-free. Contact me for a personalized recommendation at any time. |
Garden of Life Organic Probiotics for Kids |
| Delivers a complex mix of 14 different probiotic strains together with the necessary prebiotic fiber mix to jump-start their growth and acclimation in the gut environment. The supplement is developed for child needs, and thus may not be effective in adults. However, this product may constitute a very good start for adults sensitive to cramping and bloating caused by the adult dose. In such adults, this product can be administered for 2-4 weeks, then the adult dose may be re-attempted. The only difference between this product and the “light blue label” kids supplement of the same manufacturer (above) is the fact that this product is gluten/dairy/soy-free. Contact me for a personalized recommendation at any time. |
Garden of Life Organic Probiotics for Kids | Gluten-free / Dairy-free / Soy-free |
| This product provides a mix of 4 different probiotic strains together with their necessary prebiotic support. The amount overall is lower than the one provided by the “Garden of Life” products, so a pearl is appropriately dosed for children ages 3 and up. Given the low probiotics count, this may not be sufficient for adults sensitive to cramping and bloating to get started on probiotic supplementation. Content is vegetarian and also lactose/gluten/yeast/GMO/nut/soy/wheat-free. Contact me for a personalized recommendation at any time. |

Prebiotic Fiber
| Dr. Alice’s Recommendation |
Product Link |
| Hyperbiotics prebiotic fiber mix designed for use with Hyperbiotics PRO-15. In my opinion, the product does not justify the price and the alternate fiber option below may be just as good unless any allergy or specific product requirements apply. Content is organic, vegan, and also gluten/dairy/soy/psyllium/wheat-free. Contact me for a personalized recommendation at any time. |
Hyperbiotics Prebiotic Fiber Mix |
| Although unnecessary for the “Garden of Life” probiotics listed above, this product is a budget-friendly fiber option to combine with the Hyperbiotics PRO-15. This prebiotic mix also provides excellent hunger control. Content is vegan and gluten/dairy/sugar-free. This is a USDA-certified organic and Kosher-certified product. |
