Is 100 billion daily probiotic with multiple strains too much for a maintenance does? what are the dangers of taking too high of a dose of probiotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry here...: Taking too many probiotics or 'overdosing' on good bacteria is an extremely difficult thing to do. The human gut is home to roughly 100 trillion bacteria. The dose you describe is only 0.1% of the typical gut population.
