Interactive Probiotic Profile

Which probiotic is most beneficial for you? TAKE THE TEST!


Probiotics contain a variety of genera, species and strains of bacteria that have differing and varying health effects, so it’s important to find the right probiotic for your specific needs.


The research and nutrition professionals at Jarrow Formulas have developed the first ever Interactive Probiotic Profile, which gathers important information about your Lifestyle and Body Systems in order to identify the most suitable probiotic products and strains for who you are and how you live.


Our 3-Step questionnaire has been designed to garner your feedback on your current health status, wellness goals, and any areas of concern to help determine which probiotic strains would be most beneficial for your body chemistry, lifestyle, and/or probiotic deficiencies that may or may not be present.


You must answer every question in the profile in order to advance to the subsequent section. At the end, the profile will recommend one or a series of probiotic products that would be most beneficial for your needs based upon your Profile input.

Part I: Personal Information

Age and gender are critical to any Interactive Probiotic Profile (IPP) assessment. There are clear gender-specific probiotic strains with highly targeted and clinically verified benefits. Likewise, as we age, probiotic populations change in our body along with our need for certain types of “good bacteria.” Please accurately enter your age and gender to help us profile the right probiotic strains for you.

Part II: Body Systems Analysis

Probiotics are particularly effective in aiding digestion and safeguarding the health of the intestinal tract. Certain strains also help maintain, protect and restore intestinal flora.

This section of the IPP will help us understand any digestive concerns that you may have.

Your answers should reflect your daily concerns and wellness needs in each of 8 Body Systems sections outlined.

Part III: Lifestyle Questions

Our Lifestyle section explores whether you are seeking to establish or maintain a daily health criterion or target a specific wellness concern. These 5 simple “lifestyle questions” will help us establish a “lifestyle benchmark’ and pinpoint the types of probiotic strains and products that will be most beneficial to your style of living. This section examines travel as a lifestyle attribute as well as pill/capsule tolerance and allergen concerns.

Would you be interested in a product for daily use/general maintenance?
Would you be interested in a high-potency product for a particular health concern?
Do you travel frequently?
Do you have trouble swallowing pills?
Do you have food allergies (especially milk, fish, or soy)?
