Do Probiotics Really Work?

- Well - to be frank, our poop and all the bugs that live in there are the great new frontier in medicine. Who knew!? The health of the 100 trillion bugs in your gut (which outnumber you 10 to 1) is one of the biggest things that impacts your health. Is it as simple as just taking a few probiotics or eating some yogurt? Not really - we have to learn how to tend the gut flora of our inner gardens by being selective of what we eat and how we live; feeding the good bugs and avoiding gut-busting drugs and habits- like eating too much sugar and starch, or consuming too much alcohol, or not managing our stress (yes, your gut bacteria are eavesdropping on your thoughts).
Thanks Mark for this wonderful and informative speech!
I did laboratory and field research on Probiotics in 1998, for the first time. I should say Probiotics have been there for thousands of years there in Asia and ME region. The apparent health and promotional effects of Yogurt and fermented milk would be the long healthy life of those seniors that take these magic super foods on a regular basis. Media for some reasons do not show that but people who live longer than 120 are very considerable in that part of the planet....
Probiotics do work - and quite effectively. Especially when they are consumed in the form of foods containing them naturally - like fermented vegetables. I started experiencing symptoms of mild Crohn's (most likely Crohn's), and within a day of eating sauerkraut, I noticed the systems lessening. Almost a month later, and most of my symptoms are gone...although, I also immediately stopped eating dairy and gluten...
I also noticed significant reductions in inflammation in other parts of my body - like my eyes (which were often inflamed - red blood vessels in the white's of my eyes for no apparent reason). My chronic back aches and pains (probably from AS) was also significantly reduced. I am not out of the woods yet, but I am well on my way...
I think that’s wonderful and yes sauerkraut that’s what I’m taking. I believe it’s helping you tremendously too. I think you’re on the right track for permitted food like sauerkraut and kimchi specially, sauerkraut is number one.
my health has improved beyond my own imagination taking your advice dr. Hyman thank you never stop we need you
Right now I am having stomach pains and you have been able to provide me with so much helpful information. Thank you so much Dr Mike
Thank you! Your videos are fantastic. Changing my habits regarding diet and use of probiotics changed my life. You are the best!
thanks to probiotics I recovered from inflammatory bowel disease, urinary tract infections and chronic vaginal discharge due to bacteria. My husband also recovered from osteosarcoma bone cancer by eating food therapy containing probiotics and prebiotics. let's spread the greatness of probiotics for everyone's health
which brand of probiotic did you take for urinary tract infrction?
did you take supplement form?
Thank you, Dr. Hyman for this important information. Gut health is crucial.
Although my ibs is minor I opted for Garden of Life Primal Defense. Has helped considerably.
Thanks for your great videos! You are a joyful soul with keen insights.
Thanks for the context, I love your channel
l love your videos,very good info.thanks so much,Dr scoot.💙
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that it's hard to compare probiotics between soil-based probiotics and non soil-based probiotics. The more important factor to look for is the genus, species, and strain listed on the bottle. Some strains are good for certain issues, and other strains are helpful for other issues! So it depends on your individual health needs! The power of personalized nutrition!
Good information - my younger sister has digestive issues issues and I am researching information to give her some much needed direction - this is most helpful.
I hope your sister can find some relief! Gut health is what my clinic specializes in - let me know if we can help.
That's really a good info thanks doc.
After I turned 50, I noticed severely reduced in my gut function which leads me to obesity, constipation then leads to minor depression since I really that I am getting older which heavier weight brings joint pain etc. Perhaps working remotely from home has some contribution to my weight gain since I was eating more than I was working outside and less physical exercise or movement. I started eating yogurt that has live probiotics which is from Activia by Danone. When I felt I need more support on my constipation, then I take Costco brand probiotics capsule. After I changed my diet which is cutting down my food consumption and increase physical movement. I was able to drop my weight little over 15 pounds in about 6 weeks. I feel better than before and I intend to continue until I reach my normal range in BMI. Thank you for your informative health information and guidance.
Great Video Dr.Mark! Thanks for busting the myths.
If you liked this video, you may also be interested to know that there are advantages and disadvantages to taking soil-based probiotics. For example, soil-based probiotics are more spore-forming. The spore creates a protective barrier so that the microorganisms are more likely to travel through the stomach without being destroyed by stomach acid. So they are more likely to attach in the gut, and be effective. On the other hand, this can be a negative if the microorganism causes an infection, because it is then more resistant to an antibiotic that may be needed to treat the infection!
Thank you doctor! I really enjoy your video. Would you please specify what kind of Bactria are good for mental health and bone health. I am in Canada, would you know a good functional medicine doctor to recommend?
great information. thank you
great summary, dense with info!
Thank you for the great video and advice... do you know anything about probiotics which only reach the small intestine and not the large intestine where we actually need it? Is it true that most probiotics are like this and can you recommend any good probiotics which reach the large intestine too?
Seven months ago, I started eating a primal organic diet, and started a new method of taking probiotics. Instead of taking them as capsules, I mix them with bananas, nuts and berries in a bowl. I've had amazing results. A drop in body fat and no reduction in muscle mass every month.
Thanks Mark, great content. And it clarifies a mystery I've had. I'm on a wholefood organic zero packaging (everything made from scratch) pegan diet in the UK (Scotland, where sun exposure ican be limited unless you look for it). Following a stressful season a few years ago, I made different health choice mistakes (now identified and back on track) and started developping odd symptoms. Diagnosed last winter with M.S. after an acute flare-up. I don't know if it's M.S. or the disease modifying treatment (course of steroids initially, and ocrelus since) but the gut has been misbehaving, mildly. Could be the tube of steroids I get with every course of treatment! Perhaps. I'm currently working on the probiotic intake. Got a collection of jars bubbling away in the cupboard. Now need to integrate them into my life and observe the results.
Awesome thanks Dr ...
I remember in my village we had a big wooden barrel in wich we use to pickle fruits and vegetables. If you go to Romania try some pikled water mellon and you'll remember me.
It was the age back then when we grew all our food : from vegetables, to meet, eggs, fish from the nearby river, fruits. Mushrooms the forest. Nothing spoiled.
Thanks for posting Dr it's a great educational video based on probiotics. ✌👍
So much energy!
Thanks Doctor, I followed your guidance and it helped my guts tremendously... Thanks a million. You are a life saver. Love and blessings.

Hi Doc Hyman, where to download your 10 days detox. And thank you so much for this wonderful information. God bless.
Could you please leave the links for the products please.
I started taking probiotics and had to stop after 2 weeks because of intestinal cramps and constipation. Like you say you have to get to the root of the problem before you start self medicating. Understood a lot from this video.
Are you ok now?
Start eating prebiotics food and all plant based food like vegetables and fruits.
This is a healthy looking doctor that I can trust!
This is so true after they gave me antibiotics and said no need to take them but I had them and it did and it ruin my gut plus, I already had IBS. Plus I did stop it half way
Thank you for the clarification of this kind of problem. I was recommended Silver Fern Brand Prebiotic & Probiotic. Of which has help me poop comfortably. I too change my diet to more clean organic raw eating of which helped thanks to Danette May healthy eating meals and ideas. After the video on SYMBIOTIC 365, I feel I should give it a chance since lately I have been experiencing bloating and burping constantly even at night. Its concerning to me.
I have been suffering from IBS all my life and I must say that eating homemade plant based yogurt and homemade water kefir has improved my health totally. I don't do gluten or dairy either because I also have celiac's and lactose intolerance.
Aurelia Mayo You take they fermentos before ir after meals?
I am so grateful for you, Dr. Hyman! ❤️
Which probiotic is best for histamine intolerance? I’ve heard that L CASEI 431 is, but I’m having trouble finding it. Optibac used to sell it on Amazon, but no more. I hope you can help with this.
Probiotics, Doterra which is double capsulated has helped me tremendously. I have been dealing with gastric issues so bad. I am getting better plus my scalp had these small dry places in the crown like seborrheic dermatitis. It is much better also. I do not see the list you prescribed. My Dr told me to get on probiotics. I cannot eat anything with milk, lactose intolerant suddenly.
I did want to see your list.
Thnxs doc hayman. My gut improve after taking probiotics
Hi doctorThank u for all videos.I have a suggestion.Please make a video about b12 without dairy.Thanks
Meat is a good source of B12. And Nutritional Yeast. Some in kombucha. But hard to meet needs without eating meat.
How long, on the right diet, does it take foe the gut to heal?
should we take empty stomach or with food very confused because some doctors says with food and some 30 mins before meal please advise thanks
I never got access to pill form in South Asia. Was lucky I got to travel to Germany bought good quality ones. Thus in 1months time my 6yrs log standing severe IBS got tollay cured. TOTALLY.
I'm still taking PPI Pantropazole for 2 months for gastritis (my Gastroenterologist prescribed) and starting to feel stomach pains from it. Should I take probiotics even if I might have SIBO? I'm not sure what the best course of action is.
Which probiotic, would you recommend while I'm on PPI. Thank you in advance
I didn't notice any change when I took probiotics. However, I noticed changes when I started eating fermented foods and drinking fermented drinks. I drink Kefir water daily. What I noticed particularly with it was when I would go out for a big meal, I'd come home feeling stuffed. But, after drinking some kefir water after about 20--30 mins, I'd notice that stuffed feeling was gone. I don't go to bed feeling stuffed anymore. I decided to try fermented foods. Saur kraut is great and an easy one to start with. What I've noticed is on the weeks when I'm still waiting on the foods to finish fermenting and I'm out of any that are ready to eat, on these weeks, I don't feel as good as normally do. I simply notice a change.
Years ago I tried probiotics but they gave me a runny stool now I drink kombucha that doesn’t seem to bother me much...is it time for me to take probiotics again?
So fruit and veggies r okay? I heard there harder to digest then meats ? Is this true if u have ulcerative colitis?
Great info. Just went through two weeks of heavy antibacterial xifaxan to kill all my bacteria . Now I have started a probiotic called Align. Thanks for the tip on sourcraut and garlic and onion. Can’t tolerate dairy all the sudden.
But just wanted to say thanks. It was a miserable two weeks. 550 Mgs three times a day.
are you doing better?
How are you feeling now @Ron
Good information! 👍🏼
Mark is sauerkraut daily or probiotics supplement is one better than the other?? On top of course a plant base diet Caldwell esselstyn.
Or is best idea is to take sauerkraut daily probiotics supplement daily and eat plant base diet for most effective way of reaching optimal healing day by day?
I take acid blockers due to a hiatus hernia, is my only option surgery to get off the meds?
This is amazing! Thank you so much for making these videos! I think I have IBS, and just started taking probiotics. I did notice crisps increase my symptoms, now I know it's because of the starch!
if you liked this video, you may also want to know that when buying a probiotic, it's important to look for probiotics that have genus, species, and strain on the bottle. This is important because two different strains can provide two different health benefits! So how do you know that you're taking the probiotic most applicable to your personal health if you don't have all of the information?!
I like your hair lol
The probiotics I just got are at 5 billion cfu per capsule. Is it okay if I take multiple capsules per day to increase the cfu count?
Hello sir! Does biotic p10 (aragan) is good? Thank you.
Thank you
What is the diet you suggest if you can't handle grains and beans?
Do exactly what Mark says, he's literally the best.
Thank you!!
I can vouch for the fiber, Fiber has almost entirely got rid of my Heartburn, it took like 6 months.
I shall make my own! I've been making yogurt for the last 5 or 6 months or so. Next will be fermented veggies, and whatever else is good.
Try Kimchi
You've got the greatest last name EVER!
Hi doc I was dynoise wit h pylori take antibiotic but I have gastriti change my diet and I stil get stomach pain it about 6 months now can u help me
I’ve had a major problem with my gut now for about 6 years. Started with getting sick more often, then alopecia, then major bloating and acid reflux. I had to drastically change my diet and decided to take a high grade probiotic supplement. I did that a few times over the past couple of years, mostly after a dose of antibiotics. Anyway, mixed results. I definitely get sick less and feel much better but sometimes the same symptoms come and go. The probiotics seem to work though. However, i just finished a two month dose of probiotics about a month ago. I’ve had diarrhea and stomach bloating ever since. It could have been my diet that messed things up. I wasn’t nearly as strict as i should probably have been. I’m considering taking the probiotics again but I’m concerned there’s a negative effect on the body after going off them. Could this be true? I just read an article on the BBC that talked about probiotics and how they were found to hinder the gut healing process significantly. It was a 2019 article.
What if I leave cucumber slices in apple cider vineger over night will it be effective probiotic? To consume
What about fermented soybean (natto) in capsules?
hi doc,are you familiar with yakult probiotics drink?is it good enough?this is what we take everyday?
Where are the links he talked about?
Hey Doc! Do you need to take them all the time? as in forever? Or do you incorporate them until you have good bacteria>bad bacteria and then simply follow a diet that supports that balance? Could someone potentially be in a good place after a round of VSL#3 and simply need to eat better post supplementation? Thanks in advance and sorry for slipping in so many questions.
I hope you didn't hold your breath waiting for an answer.
How do I find the links to the probiotic recommended brands?
Your awesome! Thanks for what you do!

What probiotic helps with SIBO, and Can you give a talk on Gastroparesis and help to increase gastric emptying and bowel transit...please!
I`ve tried Vsl3 and i get deppresion from it and fuzzy brain .
My functional medicine dr advises to eat a tablespoon of sauerkraut each day. Her understanding is it contains more cfu of probiotics than the commercial pills and cost is very low.
I ordered a 100 billion probiotic however shelf safe?… it was delivered in a hot package. Do you think it will still work as it was costly plus it does have prebiotics too👍🏼
I can’t find the links to your recommended probiotics.
Currently I am taking Ancient Nutrition’s SBO probiotics.
probiotics the more I research it the more confused I become
It can be very confusing. ;) Make it easy (and inexpensive) and try our Plexus ProBio5 probiotic. It is formulated to get into the gut before being activated. No need to refrigerate it either. Plus ours has enzymes that actually break through the lining of the bad bacteria and kill it, in addition to having several good "pro" bacteria. shopmyplexus.com/haelie/

Shut the fuck up you scam.
Martin Zhou what you mean? Please explain
exactly!! the more i compare different CFU and strains of probiotics the more i cant decide on which product to buy!
dont bother with them, bunch of hypeola that Health Supplement Manufacturers want you to believe in! I took some for 2 months and got quite sick had extreme nausea and insomnia most days for those 2 months and even taking them with food didnt get rid of it so called herx reactions they talk about only suppose to last 2 to 7 days I had to take Buffered Vitamin C to alkalise my body again and only now Im starting to feel better they inflamed my lungs as well, but theres recent studies showing they can be quite harmful and some peoples body rejects the good bacteria and can even take 5 months for your normal gut flora to come back unless given a antiobiotic which gets it back in just a matter of days, The problem also is most manufacturers add crapola to them like Prebiotics like Inulin/Chicory Root which some people can be allergic to and also different Maltodextrins and Maltodextrin is coming under fire more recently for feeding bad bacteria (SIBO) but also spikes your insulin levels I try to avoid all foods with this! really defeats the purpose of taking 1 in the first place, also certain strains can make Histamine Intolerance worse and also create D-Lactic Acidosis which is never a fun thing to have and can also cause Gene Transfer and overstimulate your immune system... Zinc, Vitamin C and Magnesium works lot better for me and they are safer things to cure Leaky Gut issues/Histamine issues as they Stabalise Mast Cells etc as we,ll as boosting your immune system without overstimulating it... Zinc will also take care of GERD and SIBO. Zinc's responsible for activity of over 300 enyzmes in your body while Magnesium is also responsible for 300....
i started getting really bad cystic acne after taking probiotics. Never had a problem with acne at any time in my life then started getting really painful cystic acne...thought it was from exercise/sweating at first then found that other people had experienced cystic acne from probiotics so i stopped taking them myself and cystic acne stopped right away. For some reason my body doesn't like them....
I don’t see the brands of probiotics Dr. Hyman recommends linked in the description. Did I miss something?
Dr
. Oharri's is the best I've found
. Willis Hall.
Sherry Hall did you mean OMX Dr. Ohhira from Japan?
Hi Mark, I don't see your recommended list of probiotics or prebiotics.
I agree I have an immune system problem and I’m sure I have leaky gut from celiac and I got Addison’s disease which is horrible and I did fasting for three days to clean out my gut and now I’m going to be eating, sauerkraut and kimchi for some good natural probiotics
Can excess probiotic over the years build up push some microbes out of bowel to places where the should not be? Can excess get eliminated by other strains or moves out to other places (in a leaky gut scenario)? Any research done on that yet?
Where’s the link.
I have been having diarrhea for three months. Will probiotic supplements help me? let me know .. Thanks guys.
You never mentioned dairy kefir which I make and eat every day. What's your opinion of kefir - I often use goat milk too....
Hey doc, you didn’t link the probiotic brands.
Thank you Dr
Where's the link???
Where are the links Dr Mark promised?
Would it surprise anyone that where i live in australia all dr's ive seen so far are against any natural supplements including probiotics. The current GP im seeing says to me 1st time after i mentioned the supplements i take under naturopath recommendations, is that do u know they can do more harm than good!
How about Yakult? Is it good?
Do we take probiotics empty stomach or after eat? Or in the morning or at night?
Yes. They do work. Visbiome worked wonders fo ibs alongside fasting
The probiotic supplement is helping me keep track of how many days I've quit drinking
I quit drinking almost 12 months ago and started taking Align probiotics today. Years of alcohol abuse i believe has screwed up my gut. I always feel extremely fatigued, extreme constipation, and just other small things. I do feel much better since I don’t drink anymore but I believe it could be MUCH better if my gut wasnt so screwed up from alcohol. Which probiotics were you take? You feel like they helped? Also, I truly hope you are still NOT drinking. Alcohol is horrible for the body. I cant believe i damaged my body that much for so many years with stupid alcohol
Ver important information!
Does taking a daily laxative counter the benefits of taking a daily probiotic ?
I started making my own kefir with real kefir grains. It stopped the gassiness.
Do you still recommend VSL3?
I have two questions. Do the bacteria in the probiotics survive the acid in the stomach? If most fermented foods are pasteurized killing all live bacteria, are they being eaten only as a prebiotic?
Very informative and good intro to probiotics
If you liked this video, you may also be interested to know that probiotics are microorganisms that are shown to provide a health benefit to the host, when provided in adequate amounts. So dosage is important!
how old should you be to start taking probiotics and how many bowel movements should you have per day to consider having a healthy gut?
I do not see any links you talk about.
So when to take it???before food or after food???please support ur anserws!!!!!!!
