Diet can be a great source of probiotics if you are eating a lot of cultured and fermented foods. A challenge with diet is that it is difficult to obtain the same dose used in the research studies. Consider adding probiotic supplementation to your diet for optimal results.  

Researchers have found that probiotics have health benefits even for pregnant and breastfeeding moms, infants and children. The Triple Therapy Probiotic supplement is also safe for bad bacterial overgrowth, such as SIBO.

Many people can take the Triple Therapy Probiotic product straight away and do very well on it. Taking all three probiotic categories together often seems to produce the best results.

However, if you have a hyper-sensitive gut, you may want to introduce them one at a time. Start with the Lacto-Bifido product, then the S. Boulardii, and finally the Soil Based Probiotic. Once you are tolerating them all well, you can switch to the Triple Therapy Probiotic for extra convenience.

Yes, taken at the recommended dosage, this Triple Therapy Probiotic is exactly the same as taking the three probiotics separately. It also has the extra benefit of not needing to be refrigerated.

Probiotics can be taken with or without food at any time of day. Try to make it the same every day so you get into a routine. Do what’s easiest for you.

This is very individual. As a rule of thumb you should wait until you feel that your symptoms have reached maximum improvement  and then continue for 1-2 months. After this point, you may choose to gradually reduce your dose until you reach the lowest effective dose.

Clinical trials have documented improvements in depression and anxiety after probiotic supplementation.

Brain fog isn’t usually studied in isolation but we can make some inferences from other studies where probiotics have improved cognition.  This includes probiotics improving cognitive function for patients with Alzheimer’s, bi-polar disorder and fibromyalgia.

A systematic review of 15 clinical trials found that probiotics can improve dairy tolerance. Another meta-analysis of 22 randomized control trials concluded that probiotics can improve seasonal allergy.  

There is also data, albeit mixed, suggesting that probiotics given to children may prevent or reduce formation of allergy. 

One study found participants who took a probiotic required less thyroid hormone replacement medication.  

Recent research shows that gut infections like SIBO and H. Pylori are strongly associated with hypothyroidism.  Probiotics can combat both SIBO and H. Pylori.

Several studies show that probiotics can help with sleep quality. In one study, medical students found that probiotics helped them sleep during times of exam stress. In other studies, probiotics have helped patients with IBS and depression to sleep better.

Preliminary evidence shows that when bacterial diversity in the gut increases, health conditions associated with female hormone imbalance improve. Probiotics have been shown to improve inflammatory and hormonal markers in women with PCOS. 

In my clinic, patients with female hormone conditions have very good results when prescribed probiotics and an herbal blend to balance female hormones.
