How do most people buy this? Is it available in stores? Which one do you take? DS/HS?

Thanks

I buy it at Walmart. They only have one type, and it doesn't say on the box. I don't even know what DS or HS stands for, but I've seen it on here. Culturelle.com has a coupon for $1 you can print off and use. I have priced it at Walgreens, Krogers, and CVS. Walmart is by far the cheapest for me. It is $16.99 for a box of 30, and use the coupon for $15.99. Costco had a great deal online a couple months ago, but they were out of stock when I put my order in. Again, I don't know if I'm taking the DS or HS...where would you find that info on the box? (Whatever strength I'm taking is working for me!)

I buy Culturelle at www.Culturelle.com

Some buy it at Walgreen's Drug Stores...

I take one per day. I don't know what you mean by DS/HS?

I too take Culturelle. I've seen individuals on here talk about DS/HS but cannot find any distinction on the packaging when I buy it. I know some versions I've purchased have inulin and others not, but I don't know which is which. I prefer without the inulin. I used to get mine at Wal-Mart, but actually found it cheaper ($14.99) at Publix (southeast only).

Thanks for "heads-up" on the coupon NYS.

I buy it at Lucky Vitamin. I get two months supply at a time and the total cost, with shipping, is $31.

The Walgreen's by my house doesn't carry it unless I special order it; at that point, I would just rather pay the $5 shipping and have it sent to my house.

Hi, Just for your info, some insurance companies will cover VSL#3 if you get a script from your doctor. You'll have to call them and ask if it's a covered item.

I get mine at LuckyVitamin.com. Shipping is free if you buy $100 or more.

Plus, the more you buy, the lower the price. No tax either. I usually buy 8 boxes at a time. It is the HS type, which also contains the prebiotic, inulin.

Take a deep breath and relax; this too will pass.
