October 14, 2015Because of a severe case of Lyme Disease, I have been on dual antibiotics for 16 years, which have saved my life. During this 16 years including today, I take 50 billion daily of probiotics. Because of this, I have had absolutely no adverse effects of the antibiotics. I hardly think that my continued health & recovery would be possible without probiotics after taking dual antibiotics this long. If I don't stay on a maintenance of antibiotics, I will surely relapse. Thanks to Natren Healthy Trinity probiotics, I am able to have a normal, productive life. I also give much credit to my Lyme literate doctor who is well aware of what a difficult, complex & debilitating disease Lyme is. No, I do not have a financial interest in Natren products. Just a happy customer.

August 21, 2019in past years i have found them to possibly help and in recent years i have found them to throw things out of whack, if not bring on a mild infection. i think whether probiotics help or harm vaginally may be a nuanced and complex question that depends on the characteristics of your current microbiome, your general state of health/the particular health issues you are dealing with, the particular strain and amount of probiotic, etc.
