Seed DS-01® Daily Synbiotic $49.99 (30-day supply), seed.com
This is an impressive symbiotic supplement (containing pre and probiotics) that’s heavily backed by science and quality engineering. The formulation contains over 50-billion bacteria measured in AFU, which is believed to be a more accurate measure than CFU. The blend of bacteria is well thought through, with 24 strains shown to have multiple specific health benefits. The technology used is impressive, too, as it’s been designed to increase the survival of bacteria through the intestines to the colon. The product is also GMP approved, which means it’s been batch tested for quality.
