A member asked:
Is it possible that taking a daily probiotic could increase neutrophil levels slightly above the reference range on routine blood work?

Stop worrying : Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthies fall outside. A cold shower will often shoot your Brits wa, way up. I hope your probiotics give you what you want and that you are happy for good health.
