Probiotic: Megafood Megaflora Plus is a good probiotic. Take 2 caps daily for a month if you have taken antibiotics recently.

Good to take!: Better to take capsules with high count bacteria (10 billion of more), and ones with more strains of good bacteria (B10- or more). More convenient and better than drinks. Save your money!
