A member asked:
How long does it take for probiotics to cause a positive effect in the gut? a week or?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable.: When you are able to notice improvements from probiotics is quite variable. If a person has a significantly compromised immune system then some benefits may be apparent within several days. If our immune system is strong and we are basically quite healthy – the changes may not be as immediate or obvious.
