Скачать или смотреть Probiotics Myth #1: The Strain Myth

So as Gut Health becomes more mainstream, there are more and more mixed messages about probiotic supplements out there and a lot of brands coming into the market promoting or saying things they maybe shouldn’t - trillion squillion strains of bacteria, etc. One of our fave brands is OptiBac & we’ve teamed up with the Probiotics Learning Lab (https://www.probioticslearninglab.co.uk) to make some bitesize vids to help you along the way.

Here's part 1 of our 5-part series!

Myth 1: All probiotics are the same

The World Health Organisation defines probiotics as live microorganisms that, "when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." - this could mean anything! As the term probiotic is so broad, it is good to understand the strains involved (for example, if you were to choose a puppy, you wouldn't just look at dogs but also the breeds and what characteristics they harbour - the same applies to probiotics, you want to look at what a particular strain does).
