How Koreans take probiotics
Since after probiotics market enlarge, Koreans are interested in "How to take probiotics the most effective way" "When to take probiotics" "How long to take probiotics" such questions.
Upon questions, here's some recommended effective ways from Korean Pharmacists.
1. Take Before meals.
The best timing for taking probiotics is when stomach is empty, and have to avoid eating at least 30 minutes after take probiotics.
In order to have outcomes by taking probiotics, probiotics must reach live to your gut system.
While you have intestinal activities by eating food, your body will produce acids for digestion activities.
By the acids, probiotics might be killed before reach live your gut system. Therefore it is important to take probiotics before eat meals and give time to reach to your gut system and successfully settle.
2. Taking constantly.
I know taking constantly could be so obvious. But here's why you need to take constantly.
There are trillions of bacteria and thousands of strains are actively working in your gut system. Most of all, not all of them are good bacteria and some of them could occur cancer or bad illness in the future.
Did you know that 2/3 of stomach cancer is directly related to bacteria?
To proliferate probiotics and dominate your gut system by good bacteria, takes time. In most of probiotics products contain 10 Billion CFU and 1~5 CFU guaranteed reach live your gut system. But it's not enough to dominate 100 trillion CFU living in your gut system just in 1 or 2 months. Therefore, Korean pharmacists recommend to take probiotics constantly!
3. Take probiotics contains strains that fits to your condition
Many of you got recommended from probiotics from your friends, family or lovers. To get best effect to you, you should find Strains that could solve or protect your gut system.
(Strains are description of bacteria species, as defined by code, you can say "the function of bacteria")
As an example, phytotics yellow contains MG989 strain. But what's it's function?
Many of products are OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) which means change product name with same ingredients in the product.
But most of products formulated by pharmacists or doctors are differentiated from others since it's not possible to give OEM to other company because in Korea, the words "Formulated by Pharmacists or Doctor" could be used, only if CEO is healthcare provider.
