MegaFlora
MegaFlora is a high-purity product that excels in contaminant testing, specifically for herbicides and pesticides. However, it misses the Gold tier because it fails to list specific alpha-numeric strain codes for its 14-strain blend and uses a standard cellulose capsule rather than a specialized acid-resistant delivery system. While it guarantees CFU counts through expiration and uses superior amber glass packaging, the lack of strain specificity makes it difficult to verify clinical efficacy for targeted conditions.
