What dose should we take and under what circumstances? See the first video in this series, Preventing and Treating Diarrhea with Probiotics (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-and-treating-diarrhea-with-probiotics/). Then I compared probiotics to prebiotics in Preventing the Common Cold with Probiotics? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-the-common-cold-with-probiotics/), and Friday I'll end on Gut Feelings: Probiotics and Mental Health (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/gut-feelings-probiotics-and-mental-health/).

I was surprised to find so few actual data on this topic, but that is par for the course for much advice about dietary supplements. See, for example, this series:

• Health Food Store Supplement Advice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/health-food-store-supplement-advice/)
• Bad Advice From Health Food Store Employees (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bad-advice-from-health-food-store-employees/)

• Pharmacists Versus Health Food Store Employees: Who Gives Better Advice? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pharmacists-versus-health-food-store-employees-who-gives-better-advice/)

Vitamin D supplements should also probably be taken with meals for maximum efficacy (Take Vitamin D Supplements With Meals http://nutritionfacts.org/video/take-vitamin-d-supplements-with-meals/).
