Probiotics - The FACTS!

I didn't write this, but wanted to share it as it's really good advice!

• All probiotic products are NOT alike and do not offer the stated health benefits.
• Over 99% of the products on the market have never been clinically studied and make unproven claims!
• Most formulas are a guess work in compilation of the greatest number of different strains in the highest number per capsule to impress the consumer e.g. 12 strains delivering 20 billion cfu (colony forming units). Do not be fooled with the concept of ‘more is better’. The reason most companies put in such large numbers is because they have no clinical data that any of the strains are compatible, survive or produce any effect and are hoping that by incorporating such high amounts at least some will end up surviving. Do not be fooled!
• Some combinations have no history of use and may be antagonistic to each other and, worse still, may alter the gut flora in an undesirable way.

This is one of the reasons that we only use evidence-based, well-researched, and clinically validated probiotic strains and products in the clinic.  We will never recommend any inferior products to any of our clients - that's a promise :)
