Pro- and pre-biotics are some very unique kinds of drugs. Not only that you put something new into your system, but – in the case of probiotics – you put in something alive. In order for this to go well and safe, you must do it properly. Check out the blog post I wrote recently with how-to tips for a successful probiotic supplementation. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Only do this under a clinicians supervision if you have, or were ever told you have impaired immunity as a result of a disease condition or temporary immunosuppressive treatment that you receive (such as chemotherapy). If you underwent gut resection or are pregnant or nursing, you must only proceed under a properly trained clinician’s guidance. If you are in doubt of whether or not taking a probiotic or prebiotic is right for you, ask in the comments or in the forum or better yet contact me by email.
