Is there a risk of addiction or dependency when taking probiotics?
There is no risk of addiction nor dependency when taking probiotics. It is completely safe to take probiotics on a long-term basis without causing any sort of harm, dependency, or addiction.
Some people worry that when taking supplements, the body will get used to supplementation and will stop producing its own vitamins, minerals, or probiotics. This is arguably the case with certain vitamins or digestive enzymes. However, the adult body does not produce its own probiotics, and hence cannot become dependent on probiotic supplementation. This is why many people (especially those of older generations) find it so important to top up the body's good bacteria with a reliable probiotic.
