See this post on how to add more probiotic mixtures.
As always, probiotics should be reviewed by a knowledgable medical professional before starting.
These have good impact with NO KNOWN RISK of bad impact. These should be your first choice
You want the highest NET value (Take - Avoid), when there are several with similar values. Take the one with the lowest avoid value.
Ideally you want Take/Avoid to be a 2:1 or higher ratio.
These appear to have no known direct impact. There is no reason to discontinue them if you are talking them
These are a net positive impact -- Odds are that the dominant flavonoids are what is helping. They may be in other foods that have not been studied. Explore!
These are a net positive impact -- see what foods they are in (the higher the better!)
Why "Source: Prefered in bulk and organic, with make your own capsules". First, few pre-capsulized supplements are organic, most have fillers and the cost per gram as prepared capsules can be 4x to 50x higher than in bulk. Many folks have reported things did not help until they change to a different brand with different fillers.

I have seen lactobacillus rhamnosus gg (probiotics) being a TO TAKE and lactobacillus rhamnosus (probiotics) is to avoid. Why? Different studies have different results. Sometimes it is because of other factors (study done on healthy people in one case, on overweight people in the other case). One study may have measured the bacteria you are high in, the other did not. Similarly, one study may have measured the bacteria you are low in, the other did not. There is a forest of qualifications that are nearly impossibly complex to address, and if you try, it will often lack an objective decision that can be demonstrated ("I think...."). Where there are 'conflicts', my usual advice is to just omit it entirely from consideration. If you are taking it, keep taking it. It not, don't.
