Common questions

Is Culturelle healthy?

Culturelle scores 31/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Culturelle?

Culturelle lists 5 ingredients, starting with Lactobacillus, Inulin, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate and Titanium Dioxide. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Culturelle contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Culturelle’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Culturelle?

Culturelle has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Culturelle compare to other probiotics & gut health?

At 31/100 Culturelle scores worse than most probiotics & gut health we have scored. A higher-scoring option in probiotics & gut health is Metamucil Original Coarse Fibre Powder Unflavoured at 100/100.
