1. Take probiotics for 1-4 weeks: competition period

Within 1-4 weeks of starting to take probiotics, probiotics will compete with harmful bacteria and neutral bacteria that already exist in the intestine, including competition for nutrition, competition for living space, and competition for the position that can attach to the intestinal wall. This is also the tragic stage of the bacteria's war in the gut, and the Hexcelian death reaction will also occur at this stage. When harmful bacteria die, they release a large amount of toxins and other metabolites, which inhibit the growth of probiotics and cause discomfort to the human body. Probiotics also release a large amount of bacteriocin and various organic acids to eliminate harmful bacteria. The death toll on both sides was high.

2. Take probiotics for 4-8 weeks: dominant period

Insisting on taking probiotics is equivalent to continuously replenishing reinforcements in war. At the stage of 4-8 weeks, probiotics will gradually gain the upper hand. At this time, the number of harmful bacteria in the intestine is already lower than that of probiotics, and harmful bacteria release toxins and The amount of other metabolites is also greatly reduced. At the same time, the external probiotics will also help the original beneficial bacteria in the body to grow up, and cooperate with the original beneficial bacteria in the body to maintain intestinal health. So at this time, the human body will begin to feel the improvement of the disease.

4. Taking probiotics for more than 12 weeks: stable period

When probiotics have sufficient advantages in the body, the positive effects brought by various probiotics will gradually be reflected. In order to consolidate this effect and prevent harmful bacteria in the body (harmful bacteria are difficult to completely kill, most of them are in a dormant state) from making a comeback, health experts suggest that after taking probiotics for 12 weeks, you can reduce the intake of probiotics to Half (in fact, not halving can be harmful to the body, but it will cost more money), is used to consolidate the effect of probiotics, persist for half a year, and then stop using it. For most people, this optimum effect can be maintained for a period of time, about half a year to a year, after discontinuation. However, due to various reasons such as life and eating habits, the lifestyle of modern urbanites makes it easier for the intestinal flora to fail to reach the optimal state, so it is necessary to supplement probiotics periodically.
