                                According to the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP), the phrase "adequate amounts" within the definition of a probiotic can be misinterpreted, leading many to focus solely on a high CFU count. This common misunderstanding raises a vital question: do CFU matter in probiotics, or is there more to the story of a supplement's effectiveness?
