Probiotics - Recommendations for a good brand

I am thinking of adding in some probiotics into my diet as I am sure my diet may not be the most conducive to having great gut bacteria.
Any recommendations and thoughts...
 
Bio-K+ refrigerated , 50 billion cnt, multiple species

Green Valley Kefir organic lactose-free. Check dairies in your area

sauerkraut non-pasturized

Kombucha

You can ferment at home and benefit from some species if you get a culture.

Get familar with each species and what they do for you personally. Some will do nothing for you at all. You will know what works after a week of use. Most bacillus do not survive passage through the stomach. Acidophilus, a lactobacillus, is the most common but of limited benefit on its own.

L.fermentum - tpicall found in kimchee, superoxide dismutase

L. plantarum

L. rhamnosus

L. salivarius

B. bifidum

L. paracasei - liver function

L. reuteri - oral and digestive health

If ever on anti-biotics or in the hospital you need powerful probiotics to prevent c.difficile . Bio-k+ is a good choice.

If caps have not been refrigerated since production they are not nearly as effective as fresh culture but ma still be beneficial.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
