Probiotics are a type of dietary supplement containing bacteria or yeast. Probiotics are live microorganisms that are similar to the beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. These products are often used to aid digestive health and function.
Advice & Tips:
Have to dial it in as I go. Too much or to many days you get constipated. Stop and in a few days diarrhea returns. Intestinal muscles are weak, bowel movements need to be the consistency of thick pudding.
