jpketz Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Can someone enlighten me on the pros/cons of taking daily probiotic supplements as a way to balance gut flora? My research is turning up a wide range of information from huckster scams to some serious science but I'd really like to hear some real-life experience taking W30 compliant probiotic supplements. (I know about fermented foods, etc. and while I do eat them fairly regularly, you can only eat so much sauerkraut.) Thanks for any wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 9, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 9, 2015 I reserve taking probiotics for whenever I have to be on antibiotics as a way to restore gut flora. I take a really good one...

You just need a little to keep your gut bacteria teaming with good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LadyM Posted January 9, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 9, 2015 I take a daily probiotic as prescribed by my functional medicine doc and am happy with it. It's Biodoph-7 from Biotics Research, and I take one a day. Of course, that doesn't mean it would work for you or that it would be an appropriate dose. Supplements are like foods in that our bodies react differently to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
