I've been reading up on the potential benefits of probiotics for women, especially as we age. I’m curious to hear from anyone who has experience or knowledge about using probiotics specifically for women over 50.
- What are the main benefits that women over 50 might expect from incorporating probiotics into their routine?
- Are there specific strains or types of probiotics that are particularly beneficial for issues such as menopause, digestive health, or bone density?
- How long does it typically take to notice any effects after starting to take probiotics?
- Are there any significant risks or side effects that should be considered before starting a probiotic supplement?
- Would you recommend dietary sources of probiotics, like yogurt or fermented foods, over supplements, or is there a benefit to taking both?
- How do you ensure the quality and efficacy of the probiotic products you choose?
I’d love to hear personal experiences, advice from healthcare professionals, or any relevant scientific studies. Thanks in advance!
