Q & A

Probiotics are live bacteria that must be combined with intestinal epidermal cells in order to exert probiotic functions on intestinal cells or immune cells. During the period from sleep at night to early morning, because there is no continuous feeding, it happens to be the most stable state of the intestine, and it is also the most stable state of the intestine. The best time for probiotics to colonize the gut is when they are consumed before bed. Secondly, it is also suitable to supplement probiotics on an empty stomach before eating in the morning.

Pediatricians recommend supplementing probiotics when you start using non-staple food when you are six months old, because infants and young children are mainly breast-feeding during the period of 0-6 months, and breast milk contains antibodies and bacteria that provide infants and young children. It helps infants and young children to establish intestinal flora and immunity.

Mothers can consume probiotics during pregnancy and breastfeeding to build gut probiotics and healthy immunity to provide healthy breast milk for infants and young children.

Choosing the right probiotics must be consumed every day to reshape the intestinal environment to eliminate harmful intestinal bacteria.

If it is a probiotic for gastrointestinal health, it has a significant soothing effect on diarrhea, flatulence and constipation after consumption for about a week.

If it is a probiotic for  adjust the allergy, you need to use them for three months. You can see a slight improvement in allergy symptoms in the first month, and continue to use them until the third month, and the probiotics can completely adjust the microbial flora in the intestinal tract. Adjust allergies.

Probiotics are live bacteria, and live bacteria are easily affected by temperature and humidity. High temperature and humidity will attenuate the number of probiotic bacteria. The lower the storage temperature, the longer the storage period and the less likely the bacterial count to decay.

The normal temperature in Taiwan is about 24~30°C. If it is placed at normal temperature, it can be stored for about 6 months; when placed at refrigerated temperature, the shelf life can be as long as 2 years. Therefore, it is recommended to place probiotics in the refrigerator to ensure the stable efficacy of probiotic products.

When traveling, you can carry a sufficient amount and put it in the bag, avoid placing it in the car and direct sunlight. If you eat it on time, the bacterial count will not change much.

To give you a piece of knowledge, refrigeration is for long-term preservation to avoid the decline of the number of probiotic bacteria. If you eat it on time every day, the number of capsules in a box can be eaten in one month. Even if it is placed at room temperature, it has been consumed before the number of bacteria declines. .

Probiotic products do not mean that the more bacteria you eat, the better the number of bacteria. You must clearly understand whether the bacteria or strains you eat are effective bacteria. No matter how many strains you eat, it will not help.

According to the statistics of scientific papers related to probiotics at home and abroad, the number of bacteria is designed to be 1 billion to 10 billion as the daily usage, which shows that the expected effect can be achieved. Functional probiotic products that have passed the health food audit also use 1 billion to 10 billion daily.
