Q: is there a concern about taking too much of probiotic supplements? the brand i have says take one tablet/day?

: There is little objective evidence of any benefit from probiotics. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!
