How Does Jigsaw's Essential Blend Probiotics Compare To Other Probiotic Supplements?
We're very proud of the hard work we've done to ensure that unlike other probiotics, Essential Blend Probiotics:- Costs just $0.44 per day — compared to an average $0.89 per day for Primal Defense® and $1.01 for Primal Defense ULTRA®.
- Contains a guaranteed minimum 25 billion active friendly bacteria in each capsule so you need just one per day.
- Most probiotics typically contain less than 5 billion active bacteria in each capsule requiring you to take at least 5 per day — and often more — just to achieve the same level of effectiveness as Essential Blend Probiotics.
- Contains no FOS (or "prebiotics") that can wind up feeding unfriendly bacteria instead of the good, and which can cause digestive discomfort if present in a probiotic formula.*
- Has none of the calories found in yogurt or kefir, and has better quality and greater numbers of live, active cultures.
- Compare with other top-sellers.
We encourage you to view the differences before making your own educated choice! Just know that we guarantee our Essential Blend Probiotics 100%. Healthier, happier friends and customers each have 25 billion reasons a day to gently nudge you into giving Essential Blend Probiotics a try — just one capsule a day.

Suggested Use:
Take 1 capsule daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before a meal). May take up to 3 capsules daily, or use as directed by your healthcare professional.*
Suggested Use for Children:
For age-specific suggestions, please consult your healthcare professional. As a general guideline, empty half a capsule into child's drink or food daily, preferably in the morning.

- No heavy metals

Background Information:
The intestinal tract contains 50 to 70 trillion bacteria. Some are friendly and help keep your digestive system balanced so you stay well. But some are unhealthy and do everything they can to crowd out friendly bacteria and cause health challenges.*
Friendly bacteria can still be found in some foods like yogurt and kefir. But modern food preparation and preservation methods—along with the heavy use of antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals—can compromise the population of friendly microflora in the gastrointestinal tract.
In fact, studies at the Minneapolis VA hospital suggest that the average person no longer has desirable populations of friendly bacteria in their intestines.
By not maintaining the good bacteria your body needs to function at its best, your immune system response may be challenged. That’s why using an effective high-dose probiotic supplement is so important.
Yet, the few billion—or fewer—beneficial bugs found in each capsule of most low-dose probiotics are simply not enough to support and maintain full optimum health.*
Most probiotics manufacturers believe that they can solve this problem by adding more active strains to their supplements—sometimes 8 to 10 and even 14! But a greater number of strains only introduces a greater chance for bad or unproven bacteria to enter your system—or for the bugs to negatively react to each other.
Each capsule of Jigsaw Health's Essential Blend Probiotics contains a guaranteed minimum of more than 25 billion organisms of just five extra-strength and proven friendly active human strains: L. acidophilus La-14, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, B. longum, and B. bifidum. This effective and proprietary blend can help balance your intestinal flora and support a healthy immune response so you can feel your best.*
Essential Blend Probiotics also contains no fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic found in many probiotic supplements. Contrary to popular belief, FOS feeds ALL bacteria—not just good bacteria. For people who have multiple health challenges, FOS can cause further digestive discomfort.
Did you know that unlike antibiotics, which means "to destroy life," probiotics literally means "life giving." Read about how probiotics might be the new antibiotics.
