What's Inside

Other ingredients: Brown rice flour, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide. Capsule shell contains hypromellose.

Suitable for: Vegetarians and vegans, dairy free, lactose free, no soy.

Allergens: None.

Allergen information: Manufactured on equipment that processes products containing nuts, milk, shellfish, fish and soya.

CFU stands for colony forming units, the standard way live cultures are counted.

How to Use

One or two capsules daily, with food. Sixty capsules is a month at two a day.

Take them at the same time each day — most people attach it to breakfast, because that is the meal they are least likely to skip. No refrigeration: keep the pack somewhere cool and dry, sealed between uses.

If you are taking a course of antibiotics, the usual advice is to leave at least two hours between the two. Speak to your GP or pharmacist if you are on prescription medication.

Billions of what, exactly?

A CFU total is a manufacturing number. It is not a formula.

Strains a blend total lets you name.

0

A single strain at a huge count can carry a whole total on its own, and that total is measured at the factory rather than in you. Neither of those is a secret. They are just easier to sell than a list.

CFU: colony forming units, the standard measure for live cultures.

So we built Billions to be read, not counted.

5 cultures, every one printed with its own count.
Back to the offer

Five cultures, and every count we state.

That adds up to a shade over one billion CFU a capsule, which is smaller than the numbers on the front of most packs. We would rather print five real figures than one big one you cannot break down.

The Billions label panel: five active cultures with the colony forming units stated per capsule — Lactobacillus acidophilus at 1 billion CFU and four cultures at 1 million CFU each — above the other ingredients, directions for use, guidance notice and allergen information

Per capsule

  • Lactobacillus acidophilus live culture1 Billion CFU

    The strain the acidophilus name refers to, and the bulk of the count in every capsule.

  • Lactobacillus salivarius live culture1 Million CFU

    A lactobacillus first isolated from the human mouth and gut.

  • Lactobacillus rhamnosus live culture1 Million CFU

    One of the most widely used lactobacilli in supplements.

  • Streptococcus thermophilus live culture1 Million CFU

    A culture better known for its work in yoghurt.

  • Bifidobacterium bifidum live culture1 Million CFU

    A bifidobacterium — the other major genus alongside lactobacillus.

Made in the UK. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Other ingredients: brown rice flour, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide; the capsule shell contains hypromellose.

Allergen information: Manufactured on equipment that processes products containing nuts, milk, shellfish, fish and soya.

Helping me get my gut balanced again.

The only probiotic that has helped my bloating and irritable gut. I would love to see subscriptions on these products because they are quite expensive- a saving of a few pound and pence would help pockets too :)

Heya Claire, thank you for the review. Whilst our greens drinks get all the limelight, products like our Billions quietly works miracles for so many customers like you. So glad you're seeing the benefits of it.

Sam will drop you a message about subscriptions, because we do have subscription offers for all our products that will certainly save you some money... https://leangreens.com/products/billions-preferred-customer-membership

Great supplement for my guts

I drunk lots different probiotics drinks but this supplement works wonderfully for me. No more discomfort and easy to use. One- two tablets per day with glass of water. They are expensive but actually I think it is worth.

Good quality product

I've used big brand probiotic drinks for years, but I do feel these tablets work better. They are more expensive, but actually I think it is worth it.

I’ve read so many articles about the importance of healthy gut bacteria, and how much of a positive impact it makes to your overall health. Since I’ve been taking these I definitely feel better. Sam and Tim provide such a good service, you’re made to feel like one of the family.

Uneasy Guts No More

I've recently been suffering from uneasy guts, a lot of discomfort and wind. I decided to try the Lean Greens Billions as it worked wonders for me before. Wow what a transformation. I'm back to a healthy regularity and no more discomfort. Lean Greens again have been the answer to my prayers.

Awesome feedback John, so glad it helped you out in such a dramatic fashion.

Seem to be helping with IBS

We bought these originally before going on a four week trip to India: we’d been told that probiotics might help with any potential gut problems. We took other sensible precautions, too and had no stomach upsets or problems on our trip. It seems that my husband’s occasional bouts of IBS have been less frequent of late, so we’re happy to continue taking Billions for the time being to see if they are what’s helping.

Billions of Good

Felling less bloated. A useful addition to other supplements and good to know that it’s supporting a healthy gut.

That's great to hear, really glad you are seeing a benefit from consistent use.

Thanks for the review.

lean greens billions

For the past 2 months I had been experiencing some digestive problems. I was feeling uncomfortable and bloated and eating meals was not something I looked forward to any more. I wondered if it was an age thing as I am approaching 50 but after watching a t.v program about gut bacteria i thought I would give billions a try. I have just finished my first month and I'm delighted to say the discomfort in my tummy has disappeared and I'm enjoying eating again. I have just ordered another 3 months worth of tablets. I would definitely recommend this product. Thank you very much lean greens 😊

Hey Dana
That's great to hear, glad you gave our product a try and it helped you so much.

Can this product be used to treat oral thrush?

Tim Goodwin

Hi Chidi, <br/><br/>Thank you for getting in touch. <br/><br/>No, Billions cannot be used to treat **** thrush, as it is a probiotic intended to support gut health. <br/><br/>While most people should benefit from taking our products, we are not able to offer any advice regarding individual medical conditions or health concerns.<br/><br/>If you have any questions regarding the suitability of Lean Greens products you should consult your GP prior to taking.<br/><br/>Kind Regards, <br/><br/>Ellie

Joanna Forman

How long please, does it take for these to have an effect on your body? I am hoping it eases my bloating. Thanks!

Tim Goodwin

Hi Joanna, everyone is different so it's very hard to say! I'd recommend taking consistently for 2 weeks and then see how you feel :)

Questions, answered.

Does it need refrigerating?

No. Billions is made to be shelf stable. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight, with the pack closed between uses.

Is Billions suitable for vegans?

Yes. The cultures, the capsule shell and the three other ingredients are all suitable for vegetarians and vegans. As with any batch-made product, the current pack label is the definitive statement — and if anything ever changes, we will say so.

How many capsules a day?

One or two capsules daily with food, at whatever time you will actually remember. Two a day makes a pack last a month.

Can I take it alongside antibiotics?

The usual advice is to leave at least two hours between an antibiotic dose and a live culture supplement. If you are on a course of antibiotics or any prescription medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting.

How quickly will it arrive?

We ship the same day on weekday orders placed before 2pm, from our UK warehouse. Royal Mail Tracked 48 is standard, Next Day Courier is available at checkout, and delivery is free on orders over £70.

Can I pause or cancel a subscription?

Skip, pause or cancel at any time from your account. No notice period, no fee, no phone call. We would rather you stayed because the product is good than because leaving is awkward.
