10.01.2022 What are probiotics good for? Research shows that taking live beneficial bacteria, such as probiotics, can improve microbiome health, reducing the symptoms of... many health conditions and improving general health. While eating foods that naturally contain probiotics is a good start - its important to note that specific types (strains) of probiotics, at defined doses, are better suited to help manage particular health conditions. For example, the strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG) is the worlds most extensively researched probiotic strain backed by over 1,000 research papers; there is abundant scientific literature supporting the use of LGG on its own or alongside Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) or other strains to help re-establish a healthy microbiome following antibiotic use. When choosing a probiotic, be sure to only select a product that clearly states the specific strains and doses on the label, and uses only those strains that are proven by scientific evidence to be beneficial for the specified purpose you need it for. Your healthcare practitioner can provide you with further information about specific probiotic strains, as they understand your specific health requirements.

03.01.2022 The bacteria (and the trillions of other microorganisms) in the gut, are known collectively as the gut microbiome, the health of which is essential for immune r...esilience and resistance to infection.
