What are probiotics, and how do they function in the gut? We’ll examine the $80B industry, evaluate clinical potential, highlight fiber’s role, and explore the origins of exaggerated health claims.

Probiotics are everywhere—but what do they actually do? In this webinar, we’ll take a critical look at the $80 billion probiotic industry, what probiotics are, how they interact with the gut microbiome, and whether they live up to the claims on their labels. We’ll explore the science behind post-antibiotic microbiome recovery and why fiber may play a more powerful role than many supplements.
- What probiotics are, and how they may differ from the microbes of human history
- How antibiotics disrupt the microbiome and why probiotics may slow recovery
- Why dietary fiber may support gut health more effectively than commercial probiotic capsules
- Examples of probiotics with great potential, including breastmilk degrading infant gut strains of Bifidobacterium
Discover how a deeper understanding of probiotics and the power of fiber can help support a healthier, more resilient gut microbiome.
