Well-informed healthcare professionals know the importance of recommending evidence-based probiotic products to their patients to achieve specific health benefits. But finding the available evidence and matching it with specific products available on the market can be challenging. Moreover, not all of the studies on probiotic products are high-quality, making the evidence difficult to assess. Clinical […]
