Extra Strength Probiotic Acidophilus With Pectin
Health Star's Extra Strength Probiotic Acidophilus With Pectin is a combination supplement in the probiotics category, containing a proprietary blend of cultures, Citrus Pectin at 200 mg, and Calcium at 152 mg. This product earned an N+ Score of 26, receiving an 'F' grade, which signifies a poor quality rating. The Calcium content is noted as underdosed, providing only 15% of the daily value, and the probiotic blend is proprietary, meaning specific strains and their individual CFU counts are not disclosed. This lack of transparency for the key probiotic component and the underdosed mineral contribute to its low N+ Score. It is intended for those seeking a general probiotic with added fiber and calcium, but its formulation lacks the detailed information typically associated with higher-quality probiotic products.
