How it works
Specific probiotic strains accelerate intestinal transit time and improve stool consistency by modifying gut microbiota composition and metabolic activity.
Effect is strain-specific — Bifidobacterium lactis has the best evidence. Start with a low dose to avoid initial bloating.
Meta-analyses show probiotics reduce whole gut transit time by approximately 12 hours and improve stool frequency. Effect varies by strain.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
