  • There are no official guidelines on when to take probiotics (gut-healthy bacteria), but some evidence suggests they may be more effective before a meal.

The article from MSN discusses the optimal timing for taking probiotics to maximize gut health benefits. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can improve digestion, boost the immune system, and enhance overall gut health. According to the article, the best time to take probiotics can vary based on several factors including the type of probiotic, individual health goals, and personal digestive patterns. Generally, taking probiotics with or just before a meal can help protect them from stomach acid, increasing their survival rate as they pass through the stomach into the intestines. For those with specific conditions like IBS or antibiotic-related diarrhea, taking probiotics at different times might be recommended. The article also mentions that some probiotics are formulated to be taken at night to work while you sleep, or in the morning to kickstart your day. It's advised to follow the instructions on the product or consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
