Everything you need to know about using probiotics for gut health

Probiotics and the gut: understanding and optimising your microbiota

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.
