The complete guide
A Buyer's Guide to Broad Spectrum Probiotic 90 Capsules
Start with the label, not the product name
Choosing between capsule packs can be difficult when a listing gives a large number but leaves other details unclear. Pack count, ingredient amounts, directions and warnings each tell you something different. None should stand in for a conversation about whether a product is right for you.
Broad Spectrum Probiotic 90 Capsules contains 90 vegetarian capsules. Each capsule is listed as containing 32 billion CFU across 15 named strains. Australia is the listed country of origin.
This guide sets out those details without making claims about effects or results. It also explains what is not specified, so you can identify questions to take to a doctor or pharmacist.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
What the pack count tells you
The stated pack size is 90 capsules. The product details also give 90.0 total servings per container. These are pack details, not instructions to take more than the stated amount.
The supplied adult directions specify one capsule daily with water, unless a health professional directs otherwise. Follow the current label and any advice given for your circumstances.
When comparing a probiotic capsules 90 pack with another listing, keep the capsule count separate from the quantity listed per capsule. Two packs with the same number of capsules do not necessarily have the same ingredients or directions. Read each product's details in full rather than comparing the pack count alone.
Read the listed contents separately from claims
The phrase “multi strain probiotic capsules” describes the presence of multiple named strains in the maker's description. It does not establish what the product will do for an individual.
Likewise, the stated 32 billion CFU probiotic quantity is an ingredient detail. It should not be treated as a promise of a result, or as a reason to choose a product without checking its warnings.
The maker's details does not explain how the product works. A doctor or pharmacist can discuss whether it is right for you. If you have a particular question in mind, take the label and ingredient list to that conversation rather than relying on the product name.
The listed strains and amounts
Each vegetarian capsule is listed as containing 32 billion CFU. The individual amounts supplied are:
| Listed ingredient | Listed amount per capsule |
|---|---|
| B. animalis ssp. lactis HN019 | 7.87 billion CFU |
| L. rhamnosus GG | 6.64 billion CFU |
| B. lactis Bl-04 | 6.31 billion CFU |
| L. paracasei Lpc-37 | 3.92 billion CFU |
| L. paracasei LPB27 | 1.50 billion CFU |
| L. rhamnosus HN001 | 1.49 billion CFU |
| B. lactis DSM 15954 | 1.01 billion CFU |
| L. plantarum Lp-115 | 1.00 billion CFU |
| B. lactis Bl-07 | 570 million CFU |
| L. acidophilus NCFM | 520 million CFU |
| L. casei Lc-11 | 260 million CFU |
| L. rhamnosus Lr-32 | 260 million CFU |
| L. acidophilus La-14 | 250 million CFU |
| B. longum BB536 | 200 million CFU |
| B. infantis M-63 | 200 million CFU |
These are the listed active ingredients and amounts. A complete inactive ingredient list is not provided by the maker.
If you are comparing probiotic capsule ingredients, keep the full strain names and codes with their amounts. Shortened names can leave out details that appear on the label. Ask a pharmacist to review the current pack if you need help checking a particular ingredient.
Vegetarian and allergen information
The formula is described as vegetarian friendly. It is also listed as dairy free and gluten free, with no added egg, artificial colours or flavours.
Those are the supplied statements. The maker does not name the capsule shell material or provide a separate manufacturing cross-contact statement. It also does not provide certification details.
If you are looking for vegetarian probiotic capsules, the vegetarian description is relevant, but it does not answer every ingredient question. The same applies when comparing dairy free probiotic capsules or gluten free probiotic capsules.
Check the current label with a pharmacist if an ingredient restriction affects your choice. Do not fill gaps in the maker's description with assumptions about what a capsule shell or inactive ingredient might contain.
Directions are for adults
The directions as listed by the maker are:
Adults take 1 vegetarian capsule daily with water, or as directed by your health professional.
The supplied directions do not specify a time of day, whether to take the capsule with food, or whether the capsule may be opened. They do not provide a separate set of directions for children.
If any of those points matters to you, ask a pharmacist before taking the product. Do not make up a schedule from another product's instructions, even if its name or pack looks similar.
For anyone taking other medicines, the maker's description does not include interaction information. Bring that question to a doctor or pharmacist, along with the current pack label.
Read every warning before deciding
The maker's warning is reproduced here:
If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional. Drink plenty of water. Do not use when abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting are present or if you develop diarrhoea. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding - seek the advice of a healthcare professional before taking this product. Store below 25°C in a dry place. Do not use if the label seal around cap is broken or removed.
Read the whole warning rather than looking only at the daily directions. Directions tell you the listed amount, while warnings set out circumstances that need separate attention.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding require advice from a healthcare professional before taking this product. The adult directions are not a substitute for that advice.
This page does not identify who should take the product or provide advice for treating symptoms. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist about whether it is right for you.
Storage still matters without refrigeration
No refrigeration is required. The stated storage instruction is to keep the product below 25°C in a dry place.
Those two points belong together. A probiotic without refrigeration still has a stated temperature limit. Do not read “no refrigeration required” as permission to ignore the storage condition.
Before ordering, consider whether you have a place that meets the listed requirements. If you are unsure how to interpret the label, ask a pharmacist.
The maker does not provide further storage instructions for travel or for a pack that has been kept outside the stated conditions. Seek advice rather than assuming that it remains suitable to take.
Know which details are missing
The maker does not specify capsule measurements, pack dimensions or weight. It also does not give a full inactive ingredient list or the capsule shell material.
These gaps may matter differently to different buyers. Someone with a question about swallowing capsules needs a different detail from someone checking an ingredient restriction. Neither question can be answered by the 90-capsule pack count.
There is no basis here for making claims about capsule size, texture or ease of swallowing. Instructions for crushing or opening capsules are also absent.
If a missing detail affects your decision, resolve it before ordering or opening the pack. A product name is not a substitute for that information.
Delivery and checking the pack
Delivery is available within Australia only. We dispatch within 2 working days, and delivery then takes up to 7 working days by tracked courier.
Dispatch and delivery are separate stages. Allow for both when considering an order, rather than treating the courier period as starting immediately after checkout.
When the pack arrives, read its label and check the seal around the cap before use. The supplied instruction is clear that the product must not be used if that seal is broken or removed.
Contact us if the item arrives faulty or damaged. Do not take capsules from a pack with a broken or missing label seal while waiting for a response.
Returns and buying for someone else
Change of mind returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery on unopened, sealed packs only. If you are still deciding, keep the pack unopened while you seek the information you need.
Faulty or damaged items are put right under the Australian Consumer Law. That is separate from the change of mind policy.
If you are considering this pack for someone else, do not assume that their preferences or circumstances match yours. Ask them to speak to a doctor or pharmacist about whether it is right for them before buying.
Gift wrapping and gift messages are not specified by the maker. More importantly, a gift does not remove the need to read the directions and warnings.
The short version

Speak to a doctor or pharmacist about whether it is right for you. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
