How should I choose a probiotic supplement?

Choosing a probiotic supplement can be tricky because there are many different strains and many different dosages on the market. When you're looking for a good probiotics, be sure to check the label. It should identify the strain of bacteria contained in the product and how many bacteria, or colony-forming units (CFUs), there are in each recommended dose.

The two most common strains you will find are Lactobacillus and Bifodabacterium, which includes the best-known L. Acidophilus strain. Probiotics come in many forms, including chewable tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, and foods such as yogurt and dairy drinks.

Most experts agree that the form you take doesn't matter as long as there are enough live organisms to begin growing in the intestine. Unfortunately, experts do not agree on the effective dose, and numbers vary widely from 50 million to as many as 1 trillion live cells per dose. Unless you're getting diarrhea or abdominal pain, I believe that taking more probiotic is more beneficial than taking less.

According to the World Health Organization, probiotics packaging should contain the following information:Strain: What probiotic is inside CFU: How many live microorganisms are in each serving Expiration date: Probiotics are not very effective past the expiration date Suggested serving size: How much you take Proper storage conditions: Does it need to be refrigerated? Kept at room temperature? Corporate contact information: Where can you go for more informationThere is no standard labeling requirement to make it easier to choose a probiotic product.

The word probiotic on the label is not enough information to tell whether a given product will be effective for a particular health concern. As of now there is no consistent way to tell if you're buying the most effective product for the problem you're looking to solve. The best answer at this time is probably to consult with your health professional to find which product(s) he or she recommends.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
