Yup. I rotate brands because they're all slightly different and research indicates every person needs a different balance...I figure if I use different formulations in rotation, probably I will get what I need.

I feel like they make my digestion better and keep Candida/yeast in check.

I take one capsule daily of Florassist Balance (made by Life Extensions).

Florassist Balance provides a blend of six bacterial strains. Each Florassist Balance capsule contains 15 Billion CFU (colony forming units) consisting of:

    Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14
    Bifidobacterium lactis BL-04
    Lactobacillus paracasei LPC-37
    Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR-32
    Bifidobacterium bifidum/lactis BB-02
    Bifidobacterium longum BL-05

I think the probiotics do help.
