Providac capsules are probiotics that help to reboot your gut with lactobacillus. studies have been controversial about their efficacy. however many people take it and feel good and scientists are not sure whether it is placebo effect or drug effect.
However, mostly it is sure that they do not cause much harm if you are immunologically competent. So my advice would be to take it. Its like taking 5 bowls of curd in 1 capsule.
I hope this advice helps.
wish you a healthy life ahead.
