Vitanord VitaFlora contains live bacterial cultures from six named strains, 10 billion CFU per capsule. It also contains 40 mg of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) from chicory, in the same capsule. What is in the capsule Three bifidobacteria (B. lactis, B. bifidum, B. longum), two lactobacilli (L. acidophilus, L. casei rhamnosus) and Streptococcus thermophilus. CFU stands for colony-forming units, a measure of the number of live bacteria. Every strain and amount is printed on the label. A simple daily habit Kefir, sauerkraut and other fermented foods contain live bacterial cultures. But few people eat them every day, and you rarely know how many bacteria you get. A capsule with a stated CFU count is simpler. The capsule shell is made of cellulose (HPMC) and gellan, with no gelatin.

Each jar contains 60 capsules.
