Trending now: Probiotics harms vs benefits: If you have been taking probiotics for a health issue or just to boost wellbeing, you might want to look at some of the latest research on probiotics harms vs benefits.

Trillions of microbiome are distinct bacteria that flourish in every single gut. They are now believed to play a substantial role in regulating a person’s overall health. But do we need to ingest large volumes of live bacteria in an expensive probiotic supplement or should we be focussing on small quantities of food ferments called nutraceutical or functional foods. When your gut needs restoration we recommend LACTIS – the safer option. Researched for decades and recommended by top Japanese specialists and clinics.
