Should you take your probiotic with or without food?
This 2011 study by the Journal of Beneficial Microbes
Found that taking probiotics containing Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium
Either right before a meal or during a meal
Led to a much better survival rate of the probiotic…
Compared to when probiotics were taken 30 minutes after a meal
This difference is likely due to stomach acid and pH,
Therefore taking these Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium-based probiotics during meals may be a better option to maximize their benefit.
