Hi. DS has been taking Florastor w/o difficulties, but it is expensive. Anyone know of a good brand of Sacc B that's less expensive and possibly a link to the seller? Many thanks. - Suzanne

My FIL is a phamacist at CVS. They carry a generic for $15.

We've been using the Jarrow brand (get it from the Vitamin Shoppe) for years now. Very affordable, and it works!

We use pure encapsulations brand.

I switched to Jarrow brand. You can get a huge bottle. I think I got mine on Amazon. Used Florastor for a few years but then I started taking it and it was just too expensive for two to keep taking Florastor.

Thanks, all. All of the other brands indicate that they include Mannan Oligo Saccharides, as well. So they are not identical to Florastor, right? Just similar?

Ditto. And, it doesn't have lactose like Florastor does.

Well, the Jarrow claims 5 billion sach b units, and that's what appears to be in the capsule; the only additive in this brand appears to be something called "bio-mos," the benefits of which are explained on this web site link:
