Lactobacillus casei in VH Life: what it is and what we may say
VH Life contains Lactobacillus casei, 1 billion CFU, named on the box in its live cultures complex without an individual amount. No health claim for Lactobacillus casei is authorised on the GB register, so VH Life makes none. Lactobacillus casei is a species of lactic acid bacteria found in fermented dairy foods and in the human gut. The box states 1 billion CFU (colony-forming units) per sachet. In Great Britain no probiotic health claim is authorised, so we make none.
What is Lactobacillus casei?
Lactobacillus casei is a species of lactic acid bacteria found in fermented dairy foods and in the human gut. The box states 1 billion CFU (colony-forming units) per sachet. In Great Britain no probiotic health claim is authorised, so we make none.
How much is in a VH Life sachet?
The box names Lactobacillus casei, 1 billion CFU in the live cultures complex. The box prints amounts for its 26 vitamins and minerals; the botanicals, mushrooms, amino acids, enzymes and live cultures are named without individual amounts, so we do not give one here.
What may VH Life claim for it?
Nothing. In Great Britain a food may only make health claims that are on the GB register, worded as registered. The register holds no authorised claim for this ingredient, so VH Life makes no claim for it and will not describe it as doing anything. Any benefit you may have read about it elsewhere is not something a UK supplement may lawfully say.
Where does VH Life fit?
VH Life is a UK-made food supplement: one 11.8g berry sachet a day in cold water, with 87 active ingredients. The vitamins and minerals carry authorised claims; the other actives, this one included, are there as ingredients, not as claims.

There is also a 7-day trial (7 sachets, £12.99, one per customer) and one box of 14 sachets for £34.99, with free UK delivery. The full ingredient list is on the product page; every ingredient has its own page on the ingredients index.
