Personal questions should go to a pharmacist, GP or dietitian.

The useful bit, upfront

If you are asking whether Alflorex is worth it, work out the price per month including delivery, and check the label for the exact strain and count. Then compare prices on PriceHaggle AI before you buy.

Is Alflorex worth it on price? If you have already decided to try it, the three-month Original Starter Pack is the cheapest way in today, at about £22.67 a month against £24.99 for a single 30-capsule pack at PrecisionBiotics. Here is how the packs really compare, what the labels say, and our three picks for anyone searching for the best probiotic in the UK, all checked in stock today.

What the NHS says first

The NHS says there is some evidence probiotics may help in some cases, but little evidence for many health claims, and different strains may have different effects. Probiotics are sold as food, not medicine. If you have a health condition, talk to a GP or pharmacist before buying any probiotic.

Our three picks

Alflorex Original Starter Pack is our value pick. It bundles three months' supply of Alflorex Original, with the single Bifidobacterium longum 35624 strain, plus three months of The Gut Stuff app. At £68 it also clears the shop's £50 free delivery line, so it suits anyone who knows they want a full three months.

Alflorex® + Calcium - Daily Gut Supplement - 30 Capsules is our pick for vegans. It has the same 35624 strain, and the maker labels this version vegan-friendly, while Alflorex Original is labelled vegetarian-friendly. Each capsule also adds 120mg of calcium, 15% of the daily reference intake, at the same £24.99 as Original.

PrecisionBiotics® Daily Good Bacteria Gut Supplement - 30 Capsules is our pick for anyone comparing strains. Instead of one strain it uses two, BB-12 and LA-5, with 4 billion CFU per capsule plus FOS fibre, in vegan capsules free from dairy, soya and gluten. It costs the same £24.99, so it suits shoppers who want a different formula, not a cheaper one.

Price per month, worked out

Using PrecisionBiotics prices checked on 4 November: the Starter Pack is £68 for three months, about £22.67 a month, delivered free. A single 30-capsule pack is £24.99, or £27.99 with £3 standard delivery.

Buying three single packs in separate orders comes to £83.97 with delivery, which is £15.97 more than the Starter Pack for the same three months of Alflorex Original.

Quick questions

Is Alflorex worth it? On price, only if you plan to keep buying it, because the three-month pack is cheaper per month. Whether it suits you is a question for your GP or pharmacist.

Is a higher CFU count better? Not necessarily. The NHS says little is known about which types are best, so compare strains, not just numbers.
