What do you think of these? Any real benefit? They used to be just to add friendly bacteria but now they help lower cholesterol and blood pressure!

Well my aunt's doctor has recommended that she takes these twice a day because she is taking antibiotics which apparently destroy all the good bacteria in your stomach.

You're right Row27, probiotics help reduce the effects of taking antibiotics. There are also studies on the use of probiotics to treat irritable bowel syndrome and kidney stones.

So if you take these drinks to lower your cholesterol, will they also be beneficial to your digestion? Or do you have to take one type to lower cholesterol and a different type for the good stomach bacteria?
