Re: When to take probiotics

Hi - it's usually best to take probiotics on an empty stomach when you get up first thing in the morning. This allows the probiotic bacteria to pass through the stomach without triggering digestion. As you can imagine the stomach is a highly acidic environment and not a great place for probiotic bacteria to spend any time. It makes sense therefore to find a probiotic that isn't contained in food so lactose free liquid probiotics are a good option. Tweet
