A member asked:
Is it more effective to take a liquid probiotic rather than a pill? does it digest better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
U don't digest them!: "pro"-biotics put good organisms into your gut (unlike "anti"-biotics which kill bacteria) ; include: lactobacillus, acidophilus, bifidobacter, sachromyces boulardes, to name a few. Whether pill, powder, liquid, in food (yogart), take daily to maintain the probiotic organism population. Benefits include: less gas, regulated bowels, prevent infections, improve digestion, decrease inflammation.
