A member asked:

The label on my probiotics says take 2 capsles a day. should i take both at once or one in the morning and one in the evening?thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe ok either way: Once on a maintenance schedule of this supplement, daily probiotics just keeps the flora intact ; well populated in your gut. While it may make a little more sense to go the bid (one twice a day) route, it is also the less convenient ; increases the chance you'll miss a dose. You choose--no entirely wrong answer here.
