Dosage and Strorage Tips
Dosage
Adults
Start with one adult scoop (0.8 gram, 224 billion cfu’s) of the probiotic powder first thing in the morning on an empty stomach (30 minutes prior to eating). Dissolve the powder in a glass of de-chlorinated water and drink it. Do this ONCE a day only. Stay at this dosage for about 3-5 days.
If you are not happy with the results, raise the dosage to two scoops a day, one in the morning and one at bedtime. After one week go to three scoops a day if you still are not getting the expected results. The highest dosage we recommend is four adult scoops a day. You can always lower the dosage or stop taking probiotics for a few days. You may also visit our Dosage Suggestions section to more info.
Children
Start with one baby scoop (0.1 gram, 25 billion cfu’s) of the probiotic powder first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Dissolve the powder in a glass of water and drink it. Stay at this dosage for about 3-5 days.
If your child is not getting the expected results raise the dosage to one scoop in the morning and one scoop at bedtime. Stay at this dosage for one week. If you are still not happy with the results go up to 2 scoops in the morning and 2 scoops at bedtime. You can always lower the dosage or stop taking probiotics for a few days.
NOTE:
Every digestive system is unique like a fingerprint. You need to find the dosage that best suits YOU or your child. It may be one, two, three or even six scoops a day depending on age and the desired result. This gradual increase in dosage is a good way to find the optimum dosage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why are we called Custom Probiotics?
A. We can make a custom blend of any of the single strains that we carry on the website to be added to any of our formulations.
Q. What are Probiotics and how do they work?
A. According to the currently adopted definition by FAO/WHO, probiotics are: “Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.” For more info click here. Probiotics are the “good” bacteria that inhabit the digestive system naturally. Antibiotics, infection, bad diet, and stress negatively affect the intestinal microflora. The proper dosage of probiotics will be of great help in normalizing the flora in the digestive system, and hence improve digestive and immune response.
Q. Do your products contain any dairy or gluten?
All of our products are dairy and casein free, hypoallergenic, and do not contain any artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sugar, gluten, soy or FOS. They do not utilize milk, milk derivatives, galacto oligosaccharides (GOS) or inulin as added ingredients in the fermentation media.
Q. Should I follow a certain diet while taking probiotics?
A. A lot of our clients have Candida, Autism, food allergies and other digestive issues. Therefore it is best to use a sugar-free and natural food diet with a lot of vegetables, fibers, and some fish and chicken. This is because Candida and bad bacteria grow on sugar. Therefore proper diet and nutrition are very important.
Q. What are cfu’s?
A. Colony Forming Units. It’s the bacterial count of probiotics.
Q. How do I know I’m getting the specified amount of cfu’s?
A. We do independent lab testing on our probiotics to verify the bacterial count at the time of sale. Although the count is higher at the time of production, the count on the label is the count at time of expiration, which is one year from the date of manufacture.
Q. What is a good dosage?
A. Dosage varies from person to person based on the severity of their situation. These dosages vary from 25 billion cfu’s per day up to 800 billion cfu’s per day. Low dosage probiotics will have limited health benefits. You will need a higher potency in order to achieve the desired results. Many of our customers have used other probiotic brands with minimal results due to low potency. Click here for more detailed dosage suggestions.
Q. How would I know whether to get 50 grams or 100 grams?
A. It depends on how much you need and how quickly you will go through it. 100 grams is more cost effective. If one uses one adult scoop (200 billion cfu’s) per day of our probiotic powder, 100 grams will last 4 months.
Q. What time of day should I take probiotics? And can I take them with other medications, vitamins or antibiotics?
A. Probiotics are best taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and/or at bedtime. A lapse of 30-45 minutes before or after a meal is also recommended. If you are taking antibiotics you should have a 2-hour gap before or after taking the probiotics.
Q. What is the maximum amount of capsules or scoops I can take a day?
A. Dosage varies from person to person. Depending on the condition, if you are taking our Adult Formula CP-1, 8 capsules is the maximum amount to take a day (equivalent to 400 billion cfu’s). If you are taking our powders, the maximum amount is 4 adult scoops a day (equivalent to 800 billion cfu’s).
Q. How long will a 50 gram or a 100 gram powder last me?
A. 50 grams is equivalent to 60 adult scoops. Each adult scoop measures 0.8 grams (equivalent to 200 billion cfu’s). If you take one adult scoop a day 50 grams will last 2 months while 100 grams will last 4 months. We also include a child scoop measuring 0.1 gram equivalent to 25 billion cfu’s. 8 baby scoops are equivalent to 1 adult scoop.

Q. At what age can an infant or child take probiotics?
A. Based on our research the infant dosage of probiotics can be given starting at 6 months up to the age of 3.
Q. How much probiotics can an infant take?
A. We supply a baby scoop which is 0.1 gram (the equivalent of 20-25 billion cfu’s). Infants can take from half a baby scoop to 2 baby scoops.
Q. Why do some people get a “die-off” reaction?
A. “Die-off” reaction is due to a “war” between the ingested probiotic good bacteria and the bad bacteria in the digestive system. The more the imbalance of intestinal flora and the higher the dosage of probiotics taken, the higher the “die-off” reaction can be. That is why our dosage protocol is to go up in dosage gradually.
Q. What happens if the probiotics stay out of the refrigerator for a few days?
A. The loss is very minimal. We have done 2 year temperature stability testing on it. We overdesign our probiotics so that the loss will not effect the potency indicated on the label. One can travel with our probiotics for 2-3 weeks without refrigeration. It is best however to keep probiotics refrigerated for optimum potency.
Q. Why aren’t Custom Probiotics enteric coated?
A. The argument for the need of enteric coating is mainly marketing. It is true that in the laboratory one can demonstrate enhanced survival to acidic conditions when you compare powder vs. enterically coated capsules, however the need for that to achieve efficacy is not demonstrated. Our clinical trials have not been performed with enterically coated capsules, however efficacy is noted. Our strains are also pre-selected for excellent acid/bile tolerance and the capacity to survive intestinal transit. And for the last 11 years we have obtained excellent results from all our clients worldwide.
Q. Do probiotics help with parasites?
A. Yes and no. It is best to kill the parasites first with prescription drugs or certain natural foods and supplements. Garlic, papaya seeds, pumpkin seeds, fibers (such as bentonite clay and psyllium husk) are helpful in killing the parasites. A sugar-free diet, junk food-free diet is essential. Normally probiotics are used after parasites are brought under control. Dosage is important. We suggest high dosages of probiotics.

Hello Harry, I just wanted to thank you for your willingness to help our family with the custom probiotics for our son Daniel. As you know Daniel has been in the D-lactate Free Probiotic for the last four years. His most recent Microbial OAT test showed that there are no issues with bacterial overgrowth and that yeast is under control. We attribute the success to taking your wonderful product. Sincerely, |

Dear Harry, We have been using your Custom Probiotics D-Lactate Free formulation for children with Autism for a couple years now for our 5 year old daughter Mya. She is doing great and its just amazing to see her progress. Our DAN doctor referred us to you because you had the purest probiotics with the potency we couldn’t find anywhere else. Once our doctor explained our bodies biochemistry and how the use of probiotics work we did more internet research and are amazed that publicity on probiotics aren’t a headline! It is truly a life changing supplement that is not recognized. Mya continues to strive and communicate so well I’m not sure what we would do without you and your product. She has had no negative side effects and as always your personal touch of answering our calls for questions as well as the passion you demonstrate has made us very comfortable and extremely confident that Mya will grow into a wonderful girl and woman. Our family highly recommend this product and all of your products. Thank You So Much. Chris & Heather |

Dear Harry, Our 13 year old son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. There is no doubt that the vaccinations affected his immunity. Sick…well that word does not do justice and with a family history of Crohn’s disease; I quickly noticed dairy caused my son to scream and double over with pain!! Alternative treatments helped my son tremendously and when we started the D-Lactate Formula for autistic children this past year he became focused, engaging socially, and less hyper. I was shocked recently though when he was off of the probiotics. His anxiety level “hit the roof!” Negative reports from his school teachers stated that he couldn’t concentrate and his behaviors were not acceptable. Mr. Bronozian I need not be a physician to see the “gut/brain connection” here. In-balances in the gut and low immunity affects my son’s ability to learn, concentrate, and have a feeling of well being……..PERIOD!!!! I will never be without the D-Lactate Formula for autistic children again !! God Bless you for helping my child and so many others!! Lisa |

Dear Harry, Words cannot describe how thrilled we are with the Custom Probiotics D-Lactate Free formulation for children with Autism. Our six year old son has made HUGE progress with your product. Before taking your probiotics, he was withdrawn, hyper, and his speech was delayed. Almost immediately, he was focused and less hyper. He is now more sociable and we find ourselves enjoying longer sentenced conversations with him. He tolerated the product extremely well, with no side effects. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to make a change in their child’s life. Once again, thank you and keep up the good work. Sincerely, |

Hi Harry, My 18 year old autistic son and my 6 year old daughter with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and uveitis both take your D-lactate Free probiotic formulation. Other probiotics made my son’s eyes red and bloodshot, but my son has no negative reactions from your formula. When our daughter was diagnosed with an eye disease, I didn’t chance using any other probiotic for her. She had no negative reactions from using the D-lactate free probiotic. We have taken our daughter to the emergency room because she was in pain, not from her arthritis, but from her constipation. With taking the probiotics 3x a day after meals, she has a regular bm every day, like clockwork, and very healthy looking. She has been taking your formula which we were using for her brother too, from October until February with regular bms daily. When we ran out of probiotics last week, the constipation came back. I made it a top priority to get our order in as soon as we could because she really needs your product. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. Sincerely, Shelly |

Dearest Harry, My son Nikolas is 5 yrs old and he has been diagnosed with PDD which is a form of autism. He also has had severe eczema, so bad that to take a bath or a shower was extremely painful. He had to wear bandages every day on his arms due to the broken skin from scratching. He couldn’t sleep due to the itching and pain he was in. Nikolas was covered from head to toe in September with his eczema. For some reason it was getting worse. We tried every lotion and steroid cream available. Nothing helped. I took him to see a nutritionist who works with autistic children. She recommended a diet free of dairy and gluten and also a high count probiotic. We immediately implemented the diet and I called Custom Probiotics and ordered the D-lactate free probiotics that was recommended for autistic children. I received the shipment within 2 days and started him on 1 scoop in the morning and 1 scoop at night before bed. Every 2 days I added a scoop in the morning and evening until he was on 8 scoops in the morning and 8 at night. He did not seem to experience any ill effects of die-off. I didn’t realize it until later that I was using the adult scooper instead of the child’s. No wonder our supply diminished so rapidly! The changes that took place in just 5 days were nothing short of a miracle! His skin was calming down and his speech and attention were incredibly better. Everyone who saw him after the 5 days of treatment were amazed. People have commented that he is a new little boy and I absolutely agree. We were sitting at the dinner table on the 5th day and for the 1st time ever Nikolas asked if he could share the day he had at school with us. We were blown away my husband and I just looked at each other, we could not believe that he actually understood that this is what we did at dinner or that he could actually verbalize his own thoughts and experiences. We sat there and never answered just tears welling up in our eyes. Nikolas didn’t wait for an answer he just started telling us what happened at school, who said what, where they went, every little detail of the day. For anyone with an autistic child you can understand my excitement about what has happened. One day we have a little boy who barely talks and is hard to understand, who doesn’t seem to participate in the things that are happening around him and in 5 days we have a new little boy who is actually here with us and not in his own world! Today as I write his skin is milky white with only traces of his eczema left, I’m sure it will take a while for the scars to heal but thank God no new outbreaks. He is on 2 adult scoops in the morning and 2 at night. We truly thank God for you Harry and all that you have done, we will not be able to be without Custom Probiotics again…..may God grant you many, many, many years. With utmost gratitude,Jennifer & Nikolas Lopez |
