1. Intake method and dosage
Prefer yogurt-based dairy products
Yogurt is the main dietary source. It is recommended to choose low-temperature refrigerated yogurt (non-normal temperature sterilized products) containing active thermophilic streptococci, and the daily intake should be controlled within 200ml.
Avoid high-temperature processed products
The activity of thermophilic streptococci is easily destroyed by high temperature. Do not supplement the bacteria by heating yogurt or sterilized dairy products.
Alternatives for lactose intolerance
Ordinary dairy products can be replaced by fermented milk with thermophilic streptococci (such as lactose-free yogurt), which can effectively reduce discomfort such as bloating and diarrhea.
2. Taboo groups
Infants and young children
The intestinal flora of infants under 12 months old is not stable, and foods containing thermophilic streptococci are prohibited; 1-3 years old children are recommended to try a small amount under the guidance of a doctor.
Immunodeficient or allergic people
People with low immune function (such as leukemia and organ transplant patients) should avoid ingestion, and people with special constitutions may have allergic reactions.
Acute intestinal disease period
Suspend intake during severe diarrhea or gastroenteritis, and gradually add 11 after the intestinal function recovers.
3. Precautions
Strictly control the intake
Excessive intake (such as more than 500ml yogurt per day) may cause diarrhea, bloating and other symptoms of bacterial imbalance.
Avoid taking with antibiotics
During the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, it is necessary to take it at intervals of more than 2 hours to prevent the probiotics from being inactivated by drugs.
Pay attention to the active label of the product
Choose products marked "Contains active lactic acid bacteria" and with a shelf life of ≥70% remaining to ensure the survival rate of the bacterial flora.
4. Dietary synergy
Match with dietary fiber
Eating with foods rich in dietary fiber such as oats and bananas can enhance the colonization effect of probiotics.
Avoid drinking on an empty stomach
It is recommended to take it 1 hour after a meal to reduce the damage of gastric acid to the bacterial flora and increase the survival rate.
Long-term regular supplementation
It takes 2-4 weeks of continuous intake to significantly improve the intestinal environment, and intermittent supplementation has limited effect.
5. Storage and consumption time limit
Cold chain storage throughout the process
Keep refrigerated at 2-6℃ before opening, and consume within 2 hours after opening.
Pay attention to product freshness
Prioritize products with a short shelf life within 7 days of production date, as the number of live bacteria in expired yogurt decreases by more than 90%.
