In the last year they discussed on the podcast some of the different probiotics out there while talking about nutrition. Looking for the most potent, but reliable enough to know it is “clean” for competition as that makes it less likely to have hidden chemicals/supplements.
Given that increased diversity of the gut microbiota is likely the best situation, there is a case to be made for choosing a few different ones and rotating them.
Along with a diet that adds to and supports it of course.

Upon the podcast recommendation i tried these to help relieve some gut discomfort issues on the bike. They made some difference. However I’m not taking them anymore. I figured if they were happy in my gut them they would still be alive after 2 months of seeding.

I take the NOW capsules as well as consume probiotic foods like saurkraut, kimchie, Greek yogurt, etc. Trying to have one small serving (big spoonful) with at least one meal everyday.
Fresh veggies also give your gut something to do and help one feel full.

YES, finding a good probiotic that’s both effective and safe for competition can be tricky. Have you checked out any third-party tested ones? Brands like Seed or Just Thrive seem to have solid reputations.
And keep in mind that if you want probiotics in your gut you also have to eat prebiotics (like fiber) to feed them and keep them happy.
