VISTRA Daily Complete Probiotics

Yes. VISTRA Daily Complete Probiotics declares its capsule shell as INS 464, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is plant-derived. That differs from the softgels in the astaxanthin, omega and coenzyme Q10 ranges, which declare INS 428, gelatin. The reliable way to check is to read the INS code in the ingredient list on each individual pack, since formulations differ by product.

640 mg is the weight of the capsule contents, not a count of organisms. Probiotics are quantified in CFU, which counts live organisms, so it is a different unit from a weight in milligrams and the two cannot be converted into one another. The pack comes in two sizes: 14 capsules at 8.96 g net and 30 capsules at 19.2 g net.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, taken in adequate amounts, fall under the widely used definition of the term. Unlike other ingredients they are identified by genus, species and strain rather than by chemical structure — for example Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG, where the last part is the strain code — and they are quantified in CFU, which counts live organisms rather than a weight in milligrams.

The advice differs by product, so the label is the guide. The reason is that the main obstacles are stomach acid and bile, so strains are typically selected for acid and bile tolerance, while spore-forming strains such as Bacillus coagulans are inherently more acid- and heat-resistant. Directions therefore are not the same from one product to the next. For VISTRA Daily Complete Probiotics the label directs you to take it before food and with 1 to 2 glasses of water, to avoid the intestinal obstruction that dry dietary-fibre products can cause; each capsule contains 360 mg of total dietary fibre.

CFU stands for colony-forming units and counts the live organisms per serving rather than a weight in milligrams. Most clinical trials use doses in the range of about 1 × 10⁸ to 1 × 10¹⁰ CFU a day. The figure to read alongside it is whether the count is stated at manufacture or at end of shelf life, since those are different numbers.

Yes — every VISTRA product is a dietary supplement registered with the Thai FDA. The registration number appears on the label and on this page.

No. This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine — it has no effect in preventing or treating any disease. Read the label before use.
