Recommended Probiotic Supplementation<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tThe best time to take a probiotic supplement is with food. This not only helps buffer the probiotics from acidity but provides food to help colonisation.<\/span><\/p>\n

FOR ADULTS<\/span><\/h2>\n

To generally rebalance your microbiome<\/span><\/h3>\n

Look for a probiotic supplement containing between 5 and 7 resistant strains \u00e2\u20ac\u201c at least one of which should be an endospore strain such as Bacillus coagulans<\/strong><\/em>. They should be contained in a hard shell capsule and include some prebiotic fibre.<\/p>\n

A Colony Forming Unit (CFU) count of a total of 7 billion per day for 60 days should be enough to start rebalancing your microbiome<\/strong>. This number seems a lot, but there is always loss during the journey through the intestinal tract and the residual numbers of each strain needed to build a colony are high.<\/p>\n

To control digestive problems<\/span><\/h3>\n

Follow the 8-week regime three times a year, to increase both the numbers and the range of beneficial probiotics in your gut.
\nThis 3 times a year \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcregime\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 can be especially beneficial for older people (over 60 – 65) because some studies indicate that digestive efficiency declines with age.<\/p>\n

According to NHS England, quoting Dr Anton Emmanuel, consultant gastroenterologist at University College Hospital London, approximately 40% of people have at least one symptom of digestive problems at any one time.<\/p>\n

A well designed probiotic supplement can be a healthier, safer and natural alternative to over- the-counter remedies for constipation, diarrhoea and bloating \u00e2\u20ac\u201c without side-effects.
\nUse the 3 times a year regime to combat and help prevent digestive problems in the long term.<\/p>\n

After antibiotics<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you have just completed a course of antibiotics (remember \u00e2\u20ac\u201c always complete the FULL course), take a total of 14 billion CFUs a day for two weeks, Then take 7 billion a day for 4 weeks.<\/p>\n

To prevent Traveller\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Diarrhoea<\/span><\/h3>\n

Take 7 billion a day for 14 days before travel, the same during travel and continue with 7 billion a day for 14 days after returning.<\/p>\n

In the case of a candida yeast infection or thrush<\/span><\/h3>\n

Take 14 billion CFUs a day for 4 weeks as soon as you notice symptoms and in combination with any medicines prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n

As part of a weight-reducing diet<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are using a probiotic supplement to accompany a weight loss diet the evidence strongly suggests at least 8 weeks of supplementation at 7 billion CFUs a day.<\/p>\n

In times of stress<\/span><\/h3>\n

Take 7 billion a day for a 30 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 45 day period. Students should consider taking a probiotic at this level in the 8 weeks prior to taking exams and during the exam period.<\/p>\n

FOR CHILDREN<\/span><\/h2>\n

For children over the age of 10, a 7 billion capsule every 5 days should be enough to maintain a healthy balance of probiotics.<\/strong> After a course of antibiotics make this 7 billion a day for 7 days.<\/p>\n

\n

Safety considerations<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Probiotics very rarely cause serious side effects. However, if you take too much too quickly, you may experience a temporary bout of gas or diarrhoea. If so, reduce the dose for a time to allow your system to adjust. If you are under medical supervision for a serious condition, check with your doctor.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tAlthough there is a strong case for boosting the number and variety of your intestinal probiotics with an occasional 60-day booster, it is through food that you should mainly maintain a healthy micro biome.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a6 See the foods rich in probiotics and often with a good prebiotic content too.
\n<\/strong><\/a>The prebiotics feed the probiotics.<\/strong> There is no point in boosting probiotics without providing the food they need every day to thrive and multiply.
\n\u00e2\u2122\u00a6 See the list of the top prebiotic foods.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

One prebiotic fibre that has a very positive side-effect is porridge oats<\/strong>. It not only feeds probiotic bacteria; it also includes oat beta glucans which have been shown to reduce cholesterol.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
