Probiotics
The research on probiotics is new and evolving. I enjoy
probiotic foods (such as kimchi and kombucha), but taking
a probiotic supplement as well can’t hurt, particularly if
foods containing probiotics aren’t appealing to you.
Recommendation: If you choose to supplement, look
for one with a high number of different strains (the gut
contains hundreds of different species!), and 5 to 10 billion
colony-forming units (CFUs). Ensuring that you take your
probiotic with a source of prebiotic fiber can help the
organisms better “take hold” in the gritty and competitive
gut environment.
