The truth is, if you eat a healthy whole-food plant-based diet, you'll actually get all the probiotics your body needs. Vegetables, fermented foods, and other plant-based goodies all contain built-in pro- and prebiotics and appear to naturally modulate your gut flora. But if you'd like to be extra sure you're keeping things in balance — or just had to take antibiotics and are feeling thrown off — having a good vegan probiotic on hand can't hurt. As opposed to dairy-based probiotics, which may actually be counterproductive to improving your digestion since most people have trouble digesting dairy, vegan probiotics are a much healthier and humane option. These seven vegan probiotics are the best reviewed out there.
Deva Vegan Probiotic
This Deva Vegan Probiotic ($10) has 2 billion CFUs (CFUs are the bacterial cells that grow into a visible colony on a petri dish — it's thought that the more present in a probiotic, the better), and one probiotic strand. While this is a little less strong than other brands on this list, it also seems to be the most affordable.
Origin Essentials Probiotic
With two probiotic strands and 15 billion CFUs, Origin Essentials Probiotic ($18) packs a punch.
NOW Probiotic-10
With a whopping 25 billion CFUs, 10 probiotic strands, and 100 capsules per bottle, NOW Probiotic-10 ($22) is a reliable brand with a great value.
BioPro-50 Probiotic
With the most CFUs of any probiotics on this list — 50 billion — this BioPro-50 Probiotic ($23) also boasts 11 probiotic strands. There are only 30 capsules per bottle, but this is definitely your strongest option.
Royal Organica Essential Probiotic
With 12 probiotic strands and 20 billion CFUs per serving, Royal Organica Essential Probiotic ($31) is another highly rated vegan probiotic.
Renew Life Ultimate Flora Probiotic
Renew Life Ultimate Flora Probiotic ($37) has 12 probiotic strains and 50 billion CFUs per serving and is another favorite brand of vegans.
Miracle Health Labs Probiotic
Miracle Health Labs Probiotic ($20) has 40 billion CFUs per two-cap serving, making it a pretty good value.
