Do you think it's a good idea to take capsules that contain live prebiotic bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prebiotics: can be helpful for many conditions. However -there are many different strains . If you have a particular health issue - you would want a strain that would be helpful. It is usually best to have multiple strains with a controlled release delivery systems. Go for millions of cultures - not less.
