I just bought this expensive bottle. I was drinking kefir yogurt drink at night, same thing 4 oz on an empty stomach. I did that last year I think.
how long do you think I could wait to take it after my night meds?

HOW TO TAKE THEM
Quote:
It is most beneficial to take probiotics just before or just after a meal, according to Serenity Aberdour, a naturopathic doctor.
The acids in your stomach can impede absorption of the probiotics.
The ideal time is after a meal, when the pH balance of your stomach is at its highest and acidity is at its lowest.
This allows more of the probiotic supplement to reach your intestine.

Apparently, you want to take them before or after a meal ---
--- (in other words, around the time of a meal).
(Do not take them at the same time as food.)
According to this, 45 minutes is good so one hour is fine.)
