Probiotics
About probiotics in this catalog
Probiotics are a small and specific corner of our supplement range. They are live bacterial cultures taken as a supplement, and unlike omega or carotenoid formulas they are usually chosen for general digestive wellness first. We stock two, one built with dry eye customers in mind and one general purpose organic option.
What you will find
- Cydexa Probiotics for Support for Dry Eye Supplement, 30 capsules.
- Mary Ruth's Organic Liquid Probiotic, a 4 oz bottle.
Capsule or liquid
The two formats behave differently in a daily routine. Capsules are pre portioned, travel without fuss and do not need measuring, which makes them the simpler option for anyone already taking other supplements in capsule form. A liquid suits people who would rather not swallow capsules, and it can be measured into a cold drink. Check the label for storage, because some liquid probiotics ask to be refrigerated once opened while capsules generally do not.
How to choose
Decide first whether you want a formula assembled with eye care customers in mind or a general one, then compare the strain lists and culture counts printed on each label. Those two numbers are what actually differ between probiotic products, far more than the marketing on the front of the box.
Where they sit
Probiotics are not a replacement for anything else on your shelf. Most people looking at this category also carry omega supplements, an AREDS formula or lid hygiene products, and a probiotic simply sits beside them. We make no claims here about what a probiotic will do for your eyes. If you take prescription medication, or you are adding several supplements at once, review the plan with your doctor or your eye care professional before you order.
