Prices are estimates from public sources, checked Jul 2026, and change often, verify on the merchant’s site. A “lower-cost ingredient match” shares overlapping ingredients and a similar intended use; it is not a medically equivalent product or a guaranteed result.

Paying $24 a month for Florastor Daily Probiotic? Much of that is the label. The overlapping ingredients are commodity actives you can buy far cheaper on their own. Here is a specific match, jarrow s. boulardii + mos (5 billion cfu) and s. boulardii (strain-specific), for about $12 a month, roughly $144/yr less.

How close is the match?

BlendBusters analysis

Our match, jarrow s. boulardii + mos (5 billion cfu) and s. boulardii (strain-specific), covers the overlapping ingredients behind Florastor Daily Probiotic at a comparable daily amount where the dose is disclosed. Here is what lines up, and what does not.

What matches

  • Overlapping active ingredient, both deliver Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic yeast, at a comparable ~5 billion cells per capsule.
  • A similar intended use, daily digestive / gut-flora support, both shelf-stable.
  • Jarrow’s S. boulardii is a named, lower-cost ingredient match at a meaningfully reduced per-capsule cost.

What differs

  • Strain is not confirmed identical, Florastor uses the patented CNCM I-745; Jarrow lists "S. boulardii" without specifying CNCM I-745, so I-745-specific evidence doesn’t automatically transfer. Verify on the label.
  • Jarrow adds an MOS prebiotic and is delayed-release; Florastor is a single-strain formula dosed in mg.
  • Serving math differs, Jarrow is 5 billion per 1 capsule; Florastor’s ~10 billion serving is 2 capsules.

Safety & who should check with a professional

Safety note

Because it is a live yeast, people who are immunocompromised or have a central venous catheter should be cautious, rare fungemia has been reported in those groups.

  • Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are immunocompromised, have a central line, are pregnant or nursing, or have a serious illness.
