The only active ingredient is Lactobacillus.

Lysine is an essential amino acid derived from protein. You get lots of it in your normal diet. The company claims the lysine helps the Lactobacillus grow. I doubt that the amount they put in the product helps very much and it is likely digested in the stomach.

The rest is primarily filler used to make them chewable and tasty.

A generic brand of Lactobacillus is likely just a good and cheaper.
