What Are Probiotics?
HypoGal Answers, What Are Probiotics?
I balance my HypoGal World with a handful of prescription medications, vitamins and supplements each day. Thankfully, the prescription medications I consume each day keep me alive. The various vitamins and supplements I consume each day help improve my quality of life. But, I wonder the effectiveness of my daily vitamins and supplements.
A couple of weeks ago I began my journey with Probiotic America, Perfect Probiotics supplement. I have tried several Probiotics in the past, but I have questioned the effectiveness of their probiotic products.
So when I read the reviews and ingredients in the Probiotic America product, Perfect Probiotics I decided to give the Perfect Probiotics supplement a try. I have taken the Perfect Probiotic supplement for over a week, and I have not yet noticed a difference in my digestive health.
To give Probiotic America a fair chance I am going to stay on the Perfect Probiotics supplement for the next couple of months. So, I will keep you updated on my progress of Perfect Probiotics.

Does Your Body Need Additional Probiotics?
The National Institute of Health reports that some probiotics may help to prevent diarrhea that is caused by infections or antibiotics. Probiotics may also aid in symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. A majority of alternative medicine and functional medicine experts believe the body needs a supplemental source of probiotics after you have taken an antibiotic. When you take antibiotic, it removes the good and bad bacteria from your body. The probiotic supplement helps to restore the good bacteria to your digest system.
