When starting antibiotics for a few months, how will taking Probiotics help me?

Q. I will be taking antibiotics for a few months. Should I start taking probiotics? How will it benefit me?

A. Since you’ve decided you will be taking antibiotics, this is the perfect time to start taking your Probiotics. Have you read the research summarized on our site about the critical importance of taking probiotics during antibiotic use?

Numerous research studies show that the reason antibiotics cause so many negative side effects is because it wipes out the good bacteria in all parts of your system (intestines, urinary tract, and reproductive tract). Once these are killed off, Candida and other unfavorable yeast grow out of balance causing your immune system to be weakened. It typically takes several months for people to recover after antibiotic use. It has been shown that taking probiotics DURING and AFTER antibiotic use will prevent this imbalance in your system, allowing you to keep side effects minimal, and keeping your immune system strong. If you take the probiotics only after the antibiotics and not during, the benefits are not as strong.

I highly recommend you begin taking the HLC High Potency capsules as soon as possible. Take 2 twice daily after meals.
