The gut microbiome contains hundreds of bacterial species that help break down fibre, make short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate (a key fuel for gut lining cells), produce some B vitamins and vitamin K, and train the immune system. A diverse microbiome is generally linked with good digestive health. Dysbiosis describes a shift towards lower diversity or fewer helpful species. Common triggers include antibiotics, poor diet, stress and travel.

Probiotics are defined by the World Health Organization as live microorganisms that, in adequate amounts, give a health benefit. Benefits are strain specific. A strain has three parts: genus, species and a strain code, for example Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Two strains of the same species can behave very differently.

CFU means colony forming units, a count of live bacteria. Higher is not always better. Effective amounts range from about 1 billion to over 50 billion CFU depending on the strain studied. Look for a CFU count guaranteed to the end of shelf life, not just at manufacture.

• Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are the most common genera.
• Saccharomyces boulardii is a friendly yeast.
• Prebiotics are fibres that feed good bacteria.

Reviews by the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics support strain-specific benefits for digestive comfort.

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that may support the balance of your gut microbiome. They are found in some fermented foods and in supplements.

What is dysbiosis?

Dysbiosis is an imbalance in the gut microbiome, with fewer helpful bacteria or less diversity. Antibiotics, poor diet and stress can all contribute.

What does CFU mean on a probiotic?

CFU stands for colony forming units, a count of live bacteria. A higher number is not automatically better, as strain matters as much as quantity.

When is the best time to take a probiotic?

This depends on the product. Some are best with food, others on an empty stomach, so follow the label. Consistent daily use matters most.

How long do probiotics take to work?

Some people notice a change in a few days, but studies usually run for 4 weeks or more. Give it at least a month.

Should I take a probiotic with antibiotics?

Many people do, spacing the probiotic at least 2 hours away from the antibiotic dose. Ask your pharmacist for advice.

Probiotics are generally well tolerated, though mild wind or bloating may occur in the first few days. People who are severely unwell or have weakened immune systems, or who have central venous catheters, should speak with their doctor before use. Store as directed on the label, as some products need refrigeration.
