                                Recent studies suggest that combined oral contraceptives can alter the composition of the gut microbiota. Therefore, many women who stop hormonal birth control consider taking a probiotic to help restore balance to their gut microbiome. This can help support overall hormonal and digestive health as the body adjusts.
