Q: Can I use probiotics during my periods?

A: Yes, it's perfectly fine. Probiotics primarily work by supporting gut health to help regulate various body systems. They do not promote blood circulation or affect menstrual flow. Additionally, probiotics can travel through the circulatory system to the vagina, where they can help to create an acidic environment. This inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, balances the vaginal microbiome, and helps to prevent various vaginal issues.

Q: Can I take probiotics when I'm sick?

A: Yes. Illness weakens the immunity, and probiotics helps by forming a protective barrier in the gut to resist pathogens. They activate immune responses, enhancing innate, adaptive, and local immunity by increasing regulatory T-cell populations. Probiotics also aid in drug metabolite clearance, reducing side effects and potentially shortening treatment duration when used alongside medication.

Q: Can I take Monpellerin probiotics while on medication?

A: Yes. Probiotics can be taken simultaneously with all medicines except antibacterials (including antibiotics), with no conflicts or interactions. For antibacterials, to avoid the medication inhibiting or killing the probiotics, we recommend taking them at least 2 hours apart. This helps maximize probiotic effectiveness. Additionally, probiotics can help restore gut balance disrupted by antibiotics and reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated gastrointestinal side effects.
