What is a probiotic?
The word “probiotic” means “for life” as opposed to antibiotics which mean “against life”. Probiotics are clinically proven, health fortifying, natural active bacterial cultures. Or as the World Health Organization (WHO) chose to describe them: “Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.” Not all probiotics are alike. Experts believe that the benefits of probiotics are strain-specific and recommend that all probiotics should be independently tested and evaluated in clinical trials as BioGaia Chewable Tablets have been.

Safety studies with L. reuteri have been conducted in healthy newborns, small children, adults and immunodeficient adults over the past decade. In all these studies, L. reuteri has been proven to be free from side effects, even when given in doses greatly exceeding the levels normally contained in L. reuteri products. Over one billion daily doses of L. reuteri have been consumed all over the world since 1996, without any reported side effects.

How long does it take to feel the effects of taking BioGaia Probiotic Chewable Tablets?
Normally you should notice the effects within a few days. While people who are healthy may not experience any differences, those taking L. reuteri because of a digestive system disturbance may notice an effect after 3-4 days. In some cases it may take longer if the person is, for example, taking a medication affecting the digestive tract function.
