What Does "40 Billion CFU" Actually Mean in a Probiotic?

Walk down the probiotic aisle and you'll see CFU counts ranging from a few billion to over a hundred billion. It's easy to assume "more is better," but understanding what CFU actually means helps you make sense of the label.

What Is a CFU?

CFU stands for "colony-forming units" — essentially a measure of how many live bacteria are in each dose. A 40 billion CFU probiotic delivers 40 billion live organisms per serving at the time of manufacture.
