How to Choose Immune Probiotics

A quality probiotic rests on three signals: named bacterial strains with registered trademark codes, functional ingredients with their own dedicated research, and targeted-release technology that helps protect live bacteria through stomach acid on the way to the gastrointestinal tract. Bio-K+ features three exclusive proprietary strains validated in 16 published clinical trials and referenced in 45+ peer-reviewed publications.

Choosing a Quality Immune Probiotic

Three criteria help you evaluate any immune support probiotic: named strain codes on the label, a CFU count guaranteed until the best before or expiry date, and a functional ingredient with its own dedicated research. Bio-K+ lists full trademark codes for each strain and guarantees CFU accordingly, never at the time of manufacture. The strains support intestinal flora health, while Wellmune® brings its own distinct research profile as a named ingredient on the Elderberry SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Wellmune® differ from the probiotic strains in this product?

Wellmune® is a patented yeast beta-glucan functional ingredient. It is not a probiotic strain, and its research profile is separate and distinct from that of the probiotic strains it is combined with. The three probiotic strains in Bio-K+ products help support gastrointestinal and gut flora health, while Wellmune® has its own dedicated research profile as a functional ingredient. Wellmune is scientifically studied for its effects on immune function.¹ This claim applies to Wellmune® only and is not extended to the probiotic strains.

Is the Bio-K+ Elderberry Drinkable with Wellmune® vegan?

Yes. Bio-K+ Extra Drinkable Vegan Elderberry with Wellmune® is vegan. The fermented base is made from oats and pumpkin seeds with no dairy ingredients. It is also certified organic, gluten-free, and GMO-free, which makes it accessible for a range of dietary needs. Readers with specific dietary requirements or allergies should review the current product label for the most up-to-date ingredient and certification details. This product is available across Canada through pharmacies and health food retailers.

Does Bio-K+ guarantee the CFU count in its immune support products?

Yes. Bio-K+ guarantees the live bacteria count in all its probiotic products until the best before or expiry date, not at the time of manufacture. This applies to the Elderberry Drinkable with Wellmune®, which delivers 80 billion CFU. A guarantee at the end of shelf life is a meaningful quality distinction, since it tells you what you are actually getting at the moment you consume the product rather than at the point it left the facility.

Does the Bio-K+ Elderberry Drinkable with Wellmune® need to be refrigerated?

Yes. Bio-K+ Extra Drinkable Vegan Elderberry with Wellmune® requires refrigeration because it is a live-culture fermented drinkable. The 80 billion CFU is guaranteed until the best before or expiry date under appropriate refrigerated storage, which keeps the bacteria live and active. Once opened, consume within 7 days. Serve it chilled, and do not mix it with warm or hot beverages, as live bacteria are sensitive to heat.

Can I take a probiotic for immune support every day?

Daily, consistent use is the usual way to keep a probiotic routine on track. Bio-K+ Extra Drinkable Vegan Elderberry with Wellmune® is formulated for one bottle daily, making it easy to fit into your day. Take it with or without food, and do not mix it with hot beverages, as live bacteria are heat-sensitive. If you have a health condition, are immunocompromised, or take medication, consult your healthcare professional or pharmacist before starting any new probiotic routine.
