Do probiotic supplement feed good and bad bacteria too..?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gut bacteria: The microbiome is the ecosystem of bacteria in your gut. When it is out of balance we have symptoms. Probiotics feed the good bacteria. Doctor Ohira is a good brand if you are wondering what to purchase. It contains pre-biotics that prompt the body to make pro-biotics on its own, in addition to the ones in the product. Peace and good health.
