How it works
Think of the calcium in this supplement as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your nerves and muscles. Calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on the probiotic strains in this product, we cannot describe how the live cultures would function in your digestive system.

Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Without specific data on the probiotic strains or clinical studies for Kyo-Dophilus Multi 9, we cannot confidently recommend this product for digestive health. If you are considering it for its calcium content, be aware that high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications that may interact with calcium. For a probiotic, look for products with published clinical trials on the specific strains listed on the label.
