Hi there,

So I've been taking probiotic supplement for prophylactic reasons...but I've noticed my weight coming off faster then before. Have you guys ever tried/or are taking probiotic caplets?

Thanks :)

    Probiotics are just natural occurring bacteria in your GI tract. If you were having issues "going" or digesting before then the weight loss could be from the passing of built up fecal matter. Gross I know. Lol.

    I have taken probiotics when I got sick, but not on a regular basis. I know that Kefir is really good and has probiotics. I know that so much of the body is really controlled from the intestines, so it makes sense if they are in good health they are more efficient =)

    Hello,

    I take a probiotic everyday and found it to be very helpful. The weight loss you are experieincing is due the probiotic regulating and improving the performance of your digestive system. Having balance in your digestive system is important for good overall health and keeping your immune system strong.

    Regards,
