Probiotic Concepts

-The number of strains, or colony forming units, don’t typically matter

-The FREQUENCY of administration is the most important variable (aim for 2-4x daily)

-Yoghurt is a decent option for many people (yes, I realize it’s dairy), otherwise a probiotic capsule supplement. If you choose to go with yoghurt: try grass-fed A2, or fat-free/sugar-free Greek
