Probiotics - Frequently Asked Questions

What are probiotics good for?

Probiotics supplements can help support digestive balance and immune health.* Different probiotic strains deliver different benefits, so we offer a variety of probiotic supplements for various purposes. For instance, our Fortify® Women’s 30 Billion Daily Probiotic is formulated with Lactobacilli, which helps support healthy vaginal microflora to support women’s health.*

What do probiotics do?

Probiotics are “good bacteria'' and yeasts. They help to break down the fiber in your diet and support digestive health.*

These good microbes can help balance your digestive tract.* Different probiotics can have different benefits, including support for regularity, immune health, or even vaginal health.* Read the product label to determine which probiotic supplements offer the benefits you seek.

How long does it take for probiotics to work?

Probiotics take time to do their primary jobs and everyone’s internal microbiome is different.

It’s important to maintain consistency with your probiotic supplements, so find a regular time each day when you can take your probiotics.

What is the difference between prebiotics and probiotics?

Probiotics are living microorganisms that provide a health benefit, and prebiotics are the foods that feed them. Prebiotics stimulate the growth of good microorganisms in the gut. Prebiotics are naturally found in beans, onions, bananas, and whole grains.They’re even present in breast milk. Prebiotics aren't digested by humans, so they can pass through your system to reach the bacteria in your gut that consume them.

Nature’s Way has both prebiotics and probiotics in supplement form including Fortify® 30 Billion Daily Probiotic. Alternatively, you can get standalone probiotics without prebiotic from both our Fortify and Pearls ranges.

Are Nature’s Way probiotics vegan?

Nature’s Way probiotic supplements are not vegan or vegetarian, however some are gluten-free, and dairy-free. We do offer some vegan digestive support supplements.* Please talk with your healthcare provider to determine the best vegan options for you.

Are Nature’s Way probiotics gluten-free?

Can you take probiotics while pregnant?
