What do Align probiotics treat?
Align probiotics can be used to support digestive and immune health. Probiotics are considered “good” bacteria. They are live microorganisms that can be found in fermented foods, such as yogurt. It is believed that the health of your gut can impact your immune system. Probiotics are believed to help support your digestive system by giving your gut “good” bacteria, which may also support your immune system. Antibiotics kill both “good” and “bad” bacteria in your body. Probiotics may also be used to help support your vaginal health and urinary health.
Some Align products may also contain prebiotics. Prebiotics can be found in many types of food. They cannot be digested by your body and can help “good” bacteria to grow in your gut. The probiotics found in Align products include lactobacillus, bacillus, bifidobacterium, and lacticaseibacillus. The prebiotic found in some Align products is inulin. Some Align products may also contain vitamins and other ingredients, which are listed below.
- Vitamins: B12
- Other ingredients: chaste tree berry extract, sodium, alpha-amylase, neutral protease, lactase, cellulase, lipase, cranberry, ashwagandha, lemon balm
There are Align probiotics for adults and children as young as 4 years old.
What are the possible side effects of Align probiotics?
Stop using the medicine if you develop a rash or hives. Get medical help right away if you have signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing or swelling of the face, lips, or throat.
When you first start taking Align, some people may have mild side effects such as gas and bloating. Side effects may vary depending on the ingredients in the product you use.
What should I know before using Align probiotics?
Talk to your health care provider before taking an Align product, especially if you have a condition that weakens your immune system or have been taking a medicine that weakens your immune system. This includes taking a type of medicine called corticosteroids for a long time.

Before taking this product, tell your health care provider if you have stomach lesions or stomach ulcers, diabetes, or any upcoming surgeries, plan on using this product for a longer period of time, or are taking a blood thinner.
Align products may contain milk and a milk protein called sodium caseinate. This means these products may contain small amounts of lactose. If you are allergic to milk or milk protein or lactose intolerant, talk to your health care provider before taking an Align product.
