Healthy adults are 'wasting money' by eating probiotic products, study says

fans of probiotic drinks and foods may be wasting their money, and this dietary supplement may not work at all for healthy adults, according to a recent review of research.The Danish
team studied
7,
groups of products, including milk drinks, biscuits, sacs, or capsules, and found no evidence that these products altered the structure of the fecal microbiome in healthy adults.online blogs and magazines have been helping to promote fermented dairy products, claiming that they have many health benefits, such as promoting digestion and preventing infectious diseases.Oluf Pedersen
, who lead the study at the University of Copenhagen, said: 'In a review of pre- studies, probiotic interventions may have a regulatory effect on the structural disorders of the gut bacteria in patients, but there is little evidence of healthy individual effects.
”Clinical trials could be used to study whether probiotics can help prevent illness, he said.probiotics are living microbial food additives, sometimes labeled Friendly Microbesto maintain the structural balance of the gut microbiome, which has a great benefit to consumer health. These products are usually made from the medium of live bacteria, added to the daily food, probiotics use sugar in food as a source of metabolic energy, sugar after the probiotic metabolism, so that the food has a sour flavor. In addition to some branded products specifically labeled as beneficial dietary supplements, there are similar foods, including raw yogurt, German kimchi, flavor increase, and Russian Caerfield.probiotic products claim that probiotics promote the health of the digestive system, avoid allergic reactions, immune reactions, and obesity. Previous studies have also confirmed that probiotics can be therapeutic in some cases, such as diarrhea caused by the use of antibiotics.However,
Pedersen
and his team randomly studied
7,
products to see if daily intake of probiotic supplements affected the bacterial structure of faeces in healthy adults, and found that only
1
products led to significant changes.
Nadja Buus Kristensen
a phD student and one of the authors of the study, said:
"
Based on our systematic observations, there is no credible evidence that testing probiotics has a consistent effect on the structure of faeces in healthy adults, even though probiotic products are now consumed in large quantities by the general healthy population.
”The sample sizes of the participants selected in this study ranged from
21,
to
81,
, and the participants ranged in age from
19
to
88,
. The team found that the true effect of probiotics on the human body may be influenced by the small sample size and the different strains selected, as well as the different dietary structures of the participants, compared to other factors." to study the role of probiotics in preventing disease in healthy people, there is also a need for larger, more careful experimental design and more careful management of clinical trials," Pedersen
said.
” “
This needs to include ideal bacterial composition and dosage, as well as the latest probiotic and dietary recommendations, as well as optimal experimental duration for monitoring host health.
