Is Anyone Taking Probiotics?

Hello all!
Two of my doctors very recently mentioned using a probiotic on a daily basis would be beneficial for me. I do take them when on antibiotics, but not as a daily routine.

Can anyone suggest a brand which has at least 7 different strains and a minimum of 10 billion cfu? The more strains and colonies, the better.

I've done research but not sure which brand is most reputable and can't find a website that I trust enough to listen to their judgement.

I have Casper on a probiotic daily formulated for kidney disease which does seem to have good results for him so I imagine it would be the same for me

I truly believe in the benefits of probiotics. I've given them to my animals often. But when I took them for myself, (ones for humans, not animals) they made me sick. Really sick.
So I can recommend a good probio for animals but unfortunately not for humans. I know there are some good ones out there, but they're not cheap.

My doctor put me on Probiotics too. I have taken them about a year, with no adverse effects. I go to CVS drugstore and buy their brand. There are 180 capsules in the bottle. There are 10 strains. The dosage is one per day. It provides one billion CFU's. I am sorry, I don't remember what I pay. They are not cheap, but nothing is. I hope this helps.

Thanks to both!

I'm not concerned with cost. It's not a factor in my decision. Just want to be sure I'm taking one which works well.
I'll look at the CVS brand mentioned... Looks like it meets my criteria.

That's the one I usually take when on antibiotics
I'll stick with it since I had no side effects. Thank you!
