Question: Is Latero Flora dietary supplements FDA approved and Safe to use?
Answers:
No supplements in The United States are FDA approved nor are foods that claim to have medical benefits. Without knowing more it is hard to say a lot. How do you know the antibiotics caused her to have a "weakened digestive system?" It might have been the infection that that caused the problem and it is critical for a doctor to evaluate the problem. It may have been the antibiotics but unless a doctor have told you that you can't be sure. Also when you say she easily gets "food poisoned" what do you mean? Food poisoning is almost always caused by an infection from a virus, bacteria, or a parasite.
The yogurts can help with mild occasional irregularity, not an ongoing significant problem. There are probiotics but as I said they are NOT FDA approved and there is only minimal evidence they might work and only for irregularity and potentially for IBS. They are certainly not going to fix a problem she may be having. They are certainly not a good idea for a significant problem that is not getting better and has an unknown cause. They are typically safe (and typically expensive) but especially in this case the only smart thing to do is for her to have a medical examination to determine the exact problem. Self treating is always a bad idea for a significant or chronic problem.

Definitely take probiotics and digestive enzyme supplements to help with the digestive tract. FDA means nothing when it comes to safety. Ever heard of Vioxx lol
