How much Live cultures should you take?
SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.
- Zone 10 to 3 billion CFU per dayLow dose
- Zone 23 to 5 billion CFU per dayGeneral maintenance dose
- Zone 35 to 15 billion CFU per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
- Zone 415 to 30 billion CFU per dayTherapeutic dose
- Zone 530 to 50 billion CFU per dayPractitioner-grade dose
Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
