Probiotics are good. WHO reports that these living microorganisms can improve our health. And we all take it as a fact.
But it turns out that there are very few scientific papers on the topic of probiotics. Employees of the Nordisk Foundation center for Basic Metabolic research, located at the University of Copenhagen, are interested in this topic. Researchers have carried out work trying to understand the effect of probiotics on human microflora.
One of the authors of the study, Nadi Buus Eristensen, noted that, according to their data, sufficient evidence was not found for the benefits of probiotics on fecal microflora.
The authors of the work noted that among the scientific works and studies they studied, only one respondent who took probiotics showed noticeable changes in the composition of the bacterial microflora. The rest of the study participants did not show significant changes.
Note that there is no international consensus on what defines normal or healthy fecal microbial communities.
