Also, ingesting probiotic rich foods like kefir, yogurt, sauerkrauet, cortido (all made by lacto fermentation) are rich in probiotics, so if one consumes bits of these daily, there is no real need to supplement with Over the counter probiotics unless one is on an antiobiotic course.
Finally the quality of over the counter probiotic hugely varies according to how it was manufactured, transported and stored in the stores. Heated temps above 68 degrees kill probiotics, and very few brands mention that on their packaging. So best to eat lacto-fermented veggies and dairy mentioned above instead of relying on half baked probiotics.
Hope that answers your questions.
