<div>'''Probiotics''' are microorganisms that are believed to provide health benefits when consumed.<br />
<br />
==Health effects==<br />
*Some bacteria species have been shown to inhibit pathogens in the gut<ref name="Travers2011">{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jpr/2011/610769/|title=Probiotics for the Control of Parasites: An Overview|last=Travers|first=Marie-Agnès|last2=Florent|first2=Isabelle|date=2011-09-28|website=Journal of Parasitology Research|language=en|access-date=2021-03-02|last3=Kohl|first3=Linda|last4=Grellier|first4=Philippe}}</ref> through competition or by producing their own [[antibiotic]]s.<br />
*Probiotics can reduce [[histamine]]s levels, or increase them.{{citation needed|date=Mar 2021}}<br />
<br />
==Efficacy==<br />
Probiotics should be taken with or immediately before a meal, ideally with 1-2% milk.{{citation needed|date=Mar 2021}}<br />

== Evidence for specific strains ==<br />
<br />
===Bifidobacteria===<br />
<br />
{{main|page_name =Bifidobacteria}}<br />
Cost per Billion CFU can vary from 1 cent to $1.62.{{citation needed|date=Mar 2021}} A recent study found 15/16 commercial offerings in California were mislabeled (i.e. different strain than listed).{{citation needed|date=Mar 2021}}<br />
<br />
==== Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 ====<br />
<br />
One study found that 6-8 weeks of [[Bifidobacterium infantis]] supplementation reduced [[C-reactive protein]], [[TNF-alpha]] and [[Interleukin 6|IL-6]] levels in [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] patients.<ref name="Groeger2013">{{Citation| doi = 10.4161/gmic.25487| issn = 1949-0984| volume = 4| issue = 4| pages = 325–339| last1 = Groeger| first1 = David| last2 = O'Mahony| first2 = Liam| last3 = Murphy| first3 = Eileen F.| last4 = Bourke| first4 = John F.| last5 = Dinan| first5 = Timothy G.| last6 = Kiely| first6 = Barry| last7 = Shanahan| first7 = Fergus| last8 = Quigley| first8 = Eamonn M.

<br />
==Commercial probiotics without evidence ==<br />
These are likely harmful because they are known to kill E. coli that is very low in CFS patients.<br />
<br />
===Common Yogurts===<br />
[[Lactobacillus Acidophilus]]{{citation needed|date=Mar 2021}}<br />
<br />
== Suspected to be effective but lacking studies ==<br />
[[GeneralBiotics Equilibrium]]{{citation needed|date=Mar 2021}} 115 strains - none are lactobacillus or bifidobacteria.<br />
<br />
===Typical Probiotics sold in Health Food Stores===<br />
[[Lactobacillus Acidophilus]]{{citation needed|date=Mar 2021}} - often kill off the bacteria that was greatly reduced by CFS. Further unbalance the microbiome.<br />
<br />
===Megasporebiotic===<br />
Not sufficient research published{{citation needed|date=Mar 2021}}<br />
