Description
"Probiotics" is a supplement containing beneficial microorganisms such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Saccharomyces boulardii, which contribute to microbial diversity. It helps regulate digestive function by preventing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and aiding nutrient absorption. This supplement is commonly used for digestive concerns, including bloating and irregularity. Additionally, probiotics support gut barrier integrity and microbial balance. As part of a well-rounded nutritional regimen, probiotic supplements continue to be recognized for their role in digestive care.

When To Take It
Probiotics are most effective when taken before bedtime, as this allows them to work on restoring gut balance during periods of rest.
Synergy and Antagonism
Probiotics work in harmony with prebiotics, providing the necessary nutrients to foster the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiota. These include strains such as Bifidobacterium bifidus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bifidobacterium longum, in the gut. They also complement digestive enzymes to support healthy digestion. Conversely, antibiotics can act antagonistically by disrupting the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
