Probiotics Benefits A healthy colon contains 100 billion to 100 trillion beneficial bacteria per milliliter, but advanced age, illness, poor diet and antibiotic use can destroy healthy gut flora. Eating foods that contain probiotics can fortify the gut microbiome with new colonies of beneficial bacteria.

One of the best vitamins you can stock up on for colon health is vitamin D - you probably recognize it as the one that comes from the sun. Naturally, the best way to get it is to go outside! Even if you work indoors for most of the day, it's easier than you think to get more vitamin D into your system.

Regularly taking probiotics has generally been shown to be safe, according to the NIH, especially Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. The most common side effect is gas. Some cases of infections have resulted in severe illness in immunocompromised or severely ill patients after taking probiotics.

“Research has found probiotic supplements to be most effective when taken 20 to 30 minutes before a meal,” says Nelson. “Taking them before breakfast may be the preferred option, because your digestive system has been at rest for an extended period of time and the probiotic has less resistance reaching the intestines.”

There is no way to know for sure, but a good sign of colon health is having regular bowel movements that are easy to pass, soft but formed, and snake-like.
