At what times in life is this probiotic most often added to the diet?

The intestinal microflora is sensitive to external influences, and its composition can change under the effect of various factors. Probiotic capsules with Lactobacillus gasseri are most often considered as an addition to the diet in the following situations:

• After stress. Chronic or acute stress affects digestion — this is a well-documented link. During such periods people often notice heaviness after eating, irregular stools or a reaction to familiar foods.
• When changing diet. Switching to a new type of diet — for example, increasing the proportion of plant foods or cutting out certain foods — temporarily changes the composition of the microbiota. A probiotic can become part of the adjustment period.
• After travelling. A change of water, cuisine and climate often affects digestion. This is one of the most common reasons why travellers pack probiotics in their first-aid kit.

It is important to understand that this food supplement does not replace a varied diet and is not a medicine. It is not intended to treat or prevent diseases. If digestive symptoms are pronounced or prolonged, that is a reason to see a doctor rather than to choose a supplement on your own.
