Probiotics are: good not only for digestion but also boost immunity. Thus, they can be taken even when we do not have digestive issues or are not on an antibiotic. Peace and good health.;

Yes!: The qualities of a good probiotic are the number of good bacteria per capsule and the number of species of good bacteria! 10 billion with ten strains is what to try for!
