Questions people ask

How many CFU should a probiotic have?

There's no single right number; products range from 1 to 100+ billion CFU per serving and strains matter as much as counts. The label lists CFU and the named strains — compare those, and check whether the count is guaranteed 'through best-by' or only 'at time of manufacture'.

Does NOW Foods Psyllium Husk Caps 500 mg need to be refrigerated?

Check the label: some probiotics are shelf-stable, others say 'keep refrigerated'. Shelf-stable products are easier to travel with; refrigerated ones should stay cold from the store to your fridge.

When is the best time to take a probiotic or fiber supplement?

Follow the label. Many probiotics suggest taking them with a meal; fiber supplements are taken with a full glass of water and spaced away from medicines. Consistency matters more than the hour.

Probiotics vs prebiotics — what's the difference?

Probiotics are live bacteria; prebiotics are fibers that feed the bacteria you already have. Some products combine both ('synbiotic') — the label will say so.
