Buyer Decision Guide
Probiotics are specified by strain, potency at delivery and enumeration method. Confirm the strain designation, the CFU basis (per gram or per dose) and the overage required to hold potency through your shelf life and packing format.
- Confirm the strain designation, not only the species
- Check the CFU basis and enumeration method
- Review water activity and viability data
- Confirm cold-chain and packing requirements

How This Grade Differs
HC1356 is a specific strain and is not interchangeable with other strains of the same species. Potency, water activity and enumeration results differ by strain and by production lot, so qualification must be strain-based.
Compare these related grades before approval:
- Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HC1509 Freeze-Dried Powder
- Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HC1775 Freeze-Dried Powder
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shelf life and storage conditions apply?
Two years when stored properly, kept sealed in a dry place away from light and heat.
Which safety parameters are tested every lot?
Moisture <=5.0%, ash <=5.0%, heavy metals and microbiology against the approved specification.
How does the material behave in your process?
It is supplied as Fine off-white to cream powder at 98% through 80 mesh, so bulk density and flow are confirmed against your process before the first order.
Which test method should our QC lab expect to reproduce?
HPLC, with the reference standard and calculation basis recorded on the batch certificate.
How is viable count declared?
Viable count is declared as Not less than 3.0 x 10^11 CFU/g, with the strain identity recorded on the certificate.
Can you produce to our own specification or packing?
Alternative assay targets, particle size, packing and private-label requirements are reviewed case by case, subject to production feasibility and a revised written specification.
How is the material shipped?
Air and sea freight are both arranged, with the mode chosen against volume, destination and required date. Documents and the HS code are issued with the shipping instructions.
What is the usual lead time?
Regular production normally takes 7-15 working days after deposit, depending on stock, volume, testing and customisation requirements.
