A member asked:

Can i take digestive enzyme and probiotic at the same time? because sometimes good bacterias in probiotic can be destroyed and died by digestive acid

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Interaction: I agree that it is better to space out the digestive enzymes so that at least 2 hours have elapsed before you take the probiotic. Your pharmacist would be better qualified to advise you about this matter,however.
