Jarrow Formulas Jarro-Dophilus EPS, 60 Veggie Capsules

Jarrow Formulas Jarro-Dophilus EPS is an eight-strain probiotic in a 60-veggie-capsule package labeled 10 billion CFU. Its EnteroGuard coating and individually blister-packed capsules distinguish this format, while the carton states that no refrigeration is necessary.

Eight identified probiotic strains

Jarrow's published 10 billion CFU formula lists Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus R0011, Lactobacillus helveticus R0052, Pediococcus acidilactici R1001, Lacticaseibacillus casei R0215, Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum R1012, Bifidobacterium breve R0070 and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis R1058.

The CFU figure describes the combined probiotic blend, not 10 billion CFU of each strain. This is the EPS formula shown on the carton, not EPS Advanced 55 Billion or Fem-Dophilus. Check the supplied Supplement Facts for its serving-size basis.

EnteroGuard coating and vegetarian capsules

The carton identifies vegetarian capsules and EnteroGuard coating. Jarrow describes this as an enteric coating designed to protect the bacteria from stomach acid. Blister packaging helps protect individual capsules from moisture.

The manufacturer's published ingredient list includes potato starch, a hydroxypropylmethylcellulose capsule, an enteric coating, vegetable-source magnesium stearate and ascorbic acid. The coating lists hypromellose, ethylcellulose, sodium alginate, medium chain triglycerides from modified coconut oil, oleic acid and vegetable-source stearic acid. It also declares milk and soy in trace amounts. Vegetarian labeling does not mean milk-free or soy-free; confirm current ingredients and allergens on your package.

Follow the directions on your exact package

Jarrow's published information refers to taking the capsules with water or juice, preferably on an empty stomach. Its online text contains both one-capsule and two-capsule directions, so use the serving size and daily schedule printed on the supplied carton or those given by your qualified healthcare professional. The 60-capsule count alone does not establish a days-of-supply figure.

Storage and precautions

The pictured carton says no refrigeration necessary. Follow its complete storage instructions and protect the blister packs from unsuitable heat or moisture; shelf-stable does not mean unrestricted storage conditions.

Review the current package's warnings before use. Ask a qualified healthcare professional about suitability if pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition. Do not use a product containing an ingredient you need to avoid.
