Align is simply a pill containing "seeds" or colony forming units of beneficial bacteria that help balance the other bacteria you ingest from feeds/off fingers. It is really not a drug and does not interfere with them.

Question 2

I take align probiotic everyday. np

now states i need to also take digestive enzymes.
all ive seen includes pro and pre biopics.

Accepted Answer

There are basic definitions to remember. Prebiotics are anything that supports germ growth & are generally a waste of money, germs can live on undigested foods. Probiotics are safe germs that grow in volume to push out the unsafe germs. Digestive enzymes just aid your digestion. You cannot overdose on these, but some are less helpful than others.

Accepted Answer

... on how severe your lactose intolerance is and how much milk is actually in the product. If you decide to try it, I would begin with only one capsule at a time, and adjust it accordingly if you're able to tolerate it. Alternatively, you could try a different probiotic. It is also not clear that probiotics in general will help you. It may be worth a try though. Good luck.

Question 6

What does align probiotic do? how does it help? does it boost your immune system?

Accepted Answer

Align is a strain of the Bifidobacter bacteria.  We don't quite know how probiotics might work. They likely have several effects.  They could occupy their own niche in the microbiome, stimulate the immune system to be more tolerant, influence the growth and metabolic activity of surrounding bacteria, produce their own products to improve gut health by fortifying tight junctions, etc.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Probiotics are commonly recommended to restore/maintain healthy gut flora.  I am not so sure this will help directly with lactose intolerance.

Question 8

Which is better for normal bowel regimen activia or align probiotic?

Accepted Answer

It makes no difference. Probiotics are just safe germ colonies you can take that can grow in numbers after ingestion and crowd out other germs that may be harmful. Their use can certainly help anyone recently on an antibiotic that can kill off safe germs. Otherwise their use is more fad than a needed supplement.
