Podcast #385: Probiotics

Podcast #385: Probiotics

Author: John Winkler, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Probiotics are bacteria that are ingested to promote gut health but recent research casts doubt on their effectiveness.
  • Recent study suggests that most probiotics that are ingested are killed by stomach acid. Those that remain are not very healthy and are outcompeted by the normal gut flora.
  • Probiotics should not be given as a one-size-fits-all treatment.
