Our members are a savvy bunch and know that probiotics are not all created equally.

Many, many products do not deliver the goods, with independent laboratory tests consistently revealing that some very well-known products have less than 60% of what their labels claim (and some have less than 10%)!

It’s common knowledge that most consumers are not getting what they are paying for when they buy probiotics, especially when they are thrifty, value shoppers (our core customer base). Fortunately, here at the Co-op, you get cheapskate prices and top quality at the same time.

Let me explain. We incent our manufacturers to put “overage” in our products as they know that we test each and every product. No manufacturer wants to risk rejection after independent lab testing.

Still, probiotics are known to be sensitive and we make the claim that our product is “shelf-stable.” We decided it was time to re-test a batch of our Probiotics 16, just to show you how our investment in quality continues to pay off.

Ahem, drum roll, please! Our Probiotics 16 not only met label claim—more than four months later—lot number 18K209 (from December 2009) came in at a hefty 13.4 billion. That’s 12% over our product claim! All at our traditionally low prices.

And, for a little more good news. We sold out of lot number 18K209 already. That means we are restocked with fresh inventory (the bean counters at other companies would gasp and push for ordering less frequently).

Psssst: You may want to pass the word on our Probiotics 16 to your friends and family, as they may be buying inferior products yet spending more money!

Stock up now on Probiotics 16! Take it from this kat, your body will thank you! ^..^
