Probiotics and the gut: understanding and optimising your microbiota

10/01/2026

Probiotics and the gut have a complex relationship. Far from being simply ‘good bacteria’, these microorganisms interact with a unique ecosystem: the microbiota. Find out how to better understand and maintain it.

📌︎ Key takeaways

✓The gut microbiota comprises between 1,000 and 100,000 billion microorganisms, mainly concentrated in the colon.
✓Probiotics do not establish a long-term presence in the gut, which is why it is beneficial to take them regularly or repeat courses as needed.
✓The properties of probiotics depend closely on the strains used.
✓CFU dosage, freeze-drying and gastro-resistant coating are key criteria for choosing the right supplement.
✓Prebiotics, such as inulin and FOS, act as ‘food’ for certain gut bacteria and optimise their colonisation and activity.

Osteoarthritis of the hands: a clinical trial tests the turmeric-boswellia combination

Osteoarthritis of the hands can make many everyday tasks difficult. Whilst studies on plant extracts have mainly focused on the knee, a new clinical trial is investigating the potential effects of the turmeric-boswellia combination on osteoarthritis of the hands.

📌︎ Key takeaways

✓ A clinical study evaluated a combination of turmeric and boswellia in 162 people with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the hands.
✓After three months, the reduction in self-reported pain was greater with the study formula than with the placebo.
✓The trial focused on symptoms and did not assess any changes to the cartilage or the disease itself.
✓There are various turmeric and boswellia-based supplement formulations available.
✓Dietary supplements are not a substitute for medical management of osteoarthritis.
