Why Are My Probiotics Not Working?

Probiotics are affected by gene makeup, age, and microbiome in your body.

Probiotics are affected by your unique gene makeup, age, and microbiome you already have in your body and diet. Reasons why a probiotic may not work include:[1]

  • Incorrect dosage (insufficient amount of CFU);
  • Not taken correctly: follow the product directions on how to take it;
  • Wrong strain of probiotics: not all strains work for all symptoms;
  • Poor product quality: probiotics are fragile, they must survive manufacturing, storage and your stomach acid to be effective in your intestines;
  • Improper storage.
