The following Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson and is narrated by Brock Armstrong.

Primal Flora. Your questions answered. A few weeks ago, I unveiled the new and improved primal flora, with four new strains reflecting

the latest microbiome research, and I'm really happy with the results I've had so far.

But that's easy for me to say.

I've been living and breathing this product for the better part of a year, including months

of research, consulting

with experts, and personal experimentation. So I know primal flora. But not everyone does, and in the

comment section of that earlier post, and in emails I've received from some of you, many

questions arose. Today, I'm going to answer as many as I can. Without further ado,

great stuff. Thank you. Ordered my monthly supply. When is the best time to take probiotics,

with food, without food, a.m., p.m.? Take probiotics with food, or 30 minutes before meals, as they seem to survive the transit

through our gut when taken this way, as opposed to after a meal.

If you think about how we'd obtain probiotics before supplements, this makes perfect sense.

They'd either be attached to the food in the form of dirt,

soil-based organisms, or they'd be inherent to the food because of fermentation.

Since many of us no longer eat plants we've plucked straight from the soil without washing,

nor does everyone regularly consume a wide variety of fermented foods,

primal flora taken with

food is a worthy memetic.

Do you think this product is okay for those avoiding nightshades, referring to the potato

starch ingredient?

Yes.
