Probiotic effects are strain-specific, so this page is for \u003cem\u003ethis\u003c\/em\u003e product, not every probiotic on the market. The strongest adult evidence for probiotics as a group is reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea when taken with a course of antibiotics. Some strain combinations may modestly support selected IBS-type symptoms. Everyday gut comfort in otherwise well people is possible but less certain.
