Our rating system is simple. We select some of the most popular probiotic supplements on the market and start each contender off with 5 stars. All contenders have either very positive ratings online or at least no negative ratings in order to qualify. Next, we deduct a 1/2 star for 1 to 10 negative ratings and 1 star for more than 10 and additional star losses for those with 20 or more. All supplements must contain at least 5 billion bacteria per capsule, if not, those offering below 10 billion bacteria per recommended serving may lose a half star and those below a 5 billion bacteria per suggested dose may lose 1 star. Supplements that are not non-dairy may have a half star deducted and those that require refrigeration will lose half a star. Non vegetarian friendly products may also lose half a star. Products or companies under invesigation for false claims will lose ranking percentage point based on the editors discretion.
