Question 3

Are these bacteria strains subspecies? for example, the 4 billion cfu label lists subsp. [la-14, lr-32, hn019, ll-23]. this can help alot if listed.

Accepted Answer

Probiotic strains are abundant. The alpha numeric combination after the species is the strain. It is possible to see various strains for each genus/species. The strain distinguishes what it has been studied for. For example, LA-14 has been studied to support gut health and immunity.
