Clarification re elder probiotic dosage

[Guest guest]

I should have clarified first time round if there is a proper dosage (assuming

no sensitivity) of good bacteria units in probiotic supplement. I have hard

time with yogurt, and so was wondering how many supplement caps to take to get

enough to do the job? For example, GI Pro Health SCDophilus label recommends

one 3 billion unit cap per day. That seems kind of low. I've read some

literature recommending upwards of 10-15 billion units, especially for older

folks. Anyone rely just on supplements for probiotics? How much do you take?

thanks,

I've read someliterature recommending upwards of 10-15 billion units, especially for olderfolks. I think that is pretty low. SCDophilus just put out a new product though that has 10 billion units per capsule, so you could get those if you think you need more probiotics.

The 3 billion dose is for children. The yogurt has trillions in it. I think one

can do the 10 billion SCDophilus. Start with one a day. I think some do 3 times

a day, but I'll let others chime in on this one.

Week before last I was taking 3 at a time of the SCDophilus. I was

spasming, watery d, etc. and something--I thought the probiotics

helped it pretty fast.

Of course, for some reason as soon as I start feeling halfway good, I

go completely off course.
