How to take probiotics?
capsule format
The most widespread format for taking this type of food supplement is the capsule, since it greatly facilitates the intake of the probiotic. In addition, these capsules can be opened by dispensing the content in a little water in the most complicated cases, such as people with difficulty swallowing or small children.
3 month period
The time for ingesting probiotics that we recommend from Bioithas is 3 months , since it is estimated that this period is when the change produced by the probiotic in the intestinal microbiota remains stable for a longer time.
no side effects
Side effects are rarely produced by the intake of probiotics, only in some cases a slight abdominal and intestinal discomfort can be perceived during the first days of taking it, due to the changes that the probiotic strains produce in the intestinal microbiota.
