What are the Best Probiotics Brands?
Probiotic Supplements
CVS carries all the best probiotic brands for you to choose from. Probiotics commonly come in tablets and capsules, but gummies and powders are also available. Antibiotics, health concerns, and other factors can cause the balance of bacteria in your gut to shift. If there is more non-beneficial bacteria than “good” bacteria present, you become vulnerable to a host of digestive and immune concerns. Probiotics work by delivering live cultures of “good” bacteria to your gut. This “good” bacteria will naturally replace the non-beneficial bacteria in your gut so that your digestive system stays properly balanced.
What Are Probiotics?
Probiotics contain live active cultures. They help support a healthy digestive system by maintaining the balance of “good” bacteria in your gut. This in turn can help to boost your immune system and reduce digestive issues. Probiotic pills are a dietary supplement designed to be taken every day. Keep in mind that while probiotics have been researched and are generally safe, research is still ongoing and the FDA has not evaluated any of these claims. You should always consult your doctor before starting any new treatments, including probiotics.
What are Benefits of Probiotics?
Since probiotics contain beneficial bacteria, they provide you with a wide range of health benefits. Taking probiotics can help you maintain a healthy balance, which in turn may improve the strength of your immune system to help you fight infections. Probiotics can also reduce and control inflammation, which may also reduce pain in the body. They also assist the body naturally by helping it produce higher levels of vitamins in the blood. This supplement is also great for supporting the cells that line your gut, protecting your body from letting bad bacteria enter into the bloodstream.
Signs Probiotics Are Working
Taking probiotics regularly can lead to a range of health benefits. For many people, the first signs that probiotics are working are improved digestion and less bloating. You might experience an improved mood and sense of well-being, thanks to the gut’s production of neurotransmitters. You may also notice a boost in your energy levels or potentially get sick less often.
Along with these benefits, probiotics can cut down on your cravings for sweet, salty or fried foods, helping you make better dietary choices. A healthier gut can also lead to deeper, more restorative sleep, helping you feel more alert during the day with improved memory and focus.
When determining whether your probiotic regimen is working for you, monitor these signs over several weeks. Because everyone’s body is different, the effects of probiotics can vary from person to person. Talk to your medical provider about your health needs to ensure you’re taking the right probiotic for you. Over time, probiotics can help you achieve a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
What is the Best Time to Take Probiotics?
It's best to take your probiotic every day and to take it as directed. In order for the probiotics to be effective, they need to get through your stomach acid as quickly as possible. When possible, take your probiotics on an empty stomach. This means you should take it around two to three hours after your last meal, and about 30 minutes before your next meal. When you take it on an empty stomach, it allows the probiotics to move through your stomach fast so they can get to work.
How Often Should You Take Probiotics?
In order to ensure maximum effectiveness, probiotics should be taken every day. Choose a brand and formula that you like and stick with the same brand for at least four weeks in order to feel the effects. It's best not to switch brands until you've tried the same one for at least four weeks. If you're unhappy with the brand at that time, you can always switch to another one. The type and the number of strains that your probiotic contains will vary, so be sure to read labels carefully for dose information. Ideally, you should continue to take a probiotic every day in order to keep your immune system strong and your body healthy.
