A member asked:

Been taking culturelle for almost a month now, when i finish i'm thinking about switching to align, good idea to switch probiotics? for variety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes...: Culturelle and align, though both probiotics, have different properties. Culturelle contains exclusively lactobacillus species of bacteria. Align has a variety of bacteria with the main component bifidobacterium which has been proven in studies to be a more hardy probiotic species. Go ahead and make the switch. Good luck!
