Probiotic in blood: Do not worry . Our bowel is filled with bacteria and only in very rare circumstances like perforation does it get into the blood stream.. With regard to probiotics only rarely, very rarely in immunocompromised individuals has the probiotic entered the blood stream.

Healthy bacteria in: Probiotics, like Align, release healthy bacteria into the intestine. However, in people with intact digestive tracts, they normally do not get absorbed through the wall of the intestine and into the bloodstream.
