“Birth control question?”
I am a 23 year old female taking the birth control pill. I want to take the Olly brand gummy extra strength probiotic but I don't want it to interfere with my birth control. Would this be an issue?

It should not be an issue, you can take both of them.
No, I don’t think any type of probiotic will interfere with the efficacy of your birth control pill. Remember to take your pill everyday, about the same time, and it will be around 96% effective for preventing pregnancy as well as its other health benefits.
