Do probiotics have side-effects?

Probiotic microorganisms are already present in the human body, so they are safe for most people. Especially for foreign countries, taking probiotics to improve health has a long history. However, the safety of probiotics has rarely been studied in detail, and therefore reliable literature on the frequency and severity of side effects is lacking.

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), the following groups of people need to pay special attention to taking probiotics:

1. People with compromised immune systems
2. Premature infants
3. Seriously ill hospital patients

The risk of negative effects from probiotics is higher, and the potential risks and benefits of probiotics should be carefully weighed.

Possible side effects of probiotics include:

1. allergic reaction
2. Mild stomach upset such as gas, diarrhea or bloating will mostly disappear after a few days as the body gets used to it
3. Microorganisms in probiotics produce harmful substances
4. Antibiotic resistance genes are transferred by probiotics to microorganisms in the digestive system

Why do probiotics have the above side effects?

It has been reported that some probiotic products contain microorganisms that are not listed on the label. These contaminants can pose serious health risks.

How to avoid side effects?

The heat resistance of probiotics, the time of ingestion, and the lack of dietary fiber are all conditions that need to be paid attention to.

Unless it is a personalized (Personalized) Precision Probiotics formula, through professional scientific testing, it is known which microorganisms are deficient in the intestinal microbiome (Gut Microbiome), so that it can be obtained in a targeted manner.
