Doctor's Note
What dose should we take and under what circumstances? See the first video in this series, Preventing and Treating Diarrhea with Probiotics. Then I compared probiotics to prebiotics in Preventing the Common Cold with Probiotics?, and Friday I'll end on Gut Feelings: Probiotics and Mental Health.
I was surprised to find so few actual data on this topic, but that is par for the course for much advice about dietary supplements. See, for example, this series:
- Health Food Store Supplement Advice
- Bad Advice From Health Food Store Employees
- Dangerous Advice From Health Food Store Employees
- Pharmacists Versus Health Food Store Employees: Who Gives Better Advice?
Vitamin D supplements should also probably be taken with meals for maximum efficacy (Take Vitamin D Supplements With Meals).
