Depends. Check the label. Many are freeze-dried and shelf-stable now, but refrigeration never hurts.
Yes, but separate them by at least 2 hours. The antibiotic will kill the probiotic if you take them together.
Doesn't really matter. Consistency is more important than timing. Just take it daily.

The compound effect of consistent dosing.
Check the cautions section if you have a pre-existing condition.
Some ingredients you feel. Others just work in the background.
Colony-Forming Unit. It's a measure of how many live, viable bacteria are in a dose.
Usually, yes. It's grown in a lab, not from dairy. 'Lactis' refers to its historical origin, not its current source. Always check the label if you have a severe allergy.
It can help with overall regularity for some people, but it's not a laxative. Don't expect immediate results.
Most research uses 10000000000.0g daily. Below 1000000000.0g, you're probably wasting money. Above 25000000000.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 50000000000.0g.
Produces lactic acid and other metabolites that inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promotes gut barrier integrity, and modulates immune responses.
There's a good body of evidence supporting the benefits of Bifidobacterium lactis for gut health and immune function. The strain is well-studied, and its mechanisms of action are relatively well understood. Research supports its efficacy in promoting a balanced gut microbiota. It is often used in common yogurt products.
Originally found in the digestive systems of healthy humans, particularly infants, and in fermented dairy.
