Doctor Questions Probiotics

Should I consider taking probiotics regularly?

I heard that probiotics are really good for your digestive health and I would really like to start taking them. How often should I take probiotics? And, what is the best probiotic available?

If you are healthy, I do NOT think there is real good scientific medical evidence that taking "store bought" PROBIOTICS does much for you.
Probiotics are generally good for your digestive health. There are many many good probiotics. It usually depends on some factors what would be good for you. Some integrative and functional medicine doctors "specialize" in probiotics. You could also ask the sales rep at the local health food store.
I like one called "VSL#3". I recommend one capsule or packet twice a day
