I don’t have an answer for that. Why don’t you contact your pharmacist.

I eat Stony Fields Yogurt and I make smoothies with it. It is Organic and has Probiotics in it. I find that the more I work out the more regular I am.
LOL this a hard week because my Son is on break. I know how you feel. You might want do a goggle search to find out how much is safe . Doctors like Mark Hyman might have answers.
