There is no product that has as much traction in the marketplace right now as probiotics. The understanding that probiotic bacteria have a profound beneficial effect on human nutrition has crossed over into the main stream. Probiotics can be found in many different products, even foods and beverages. One might even assume that all probiotics are good for human health and that you can take as much as you want. People assume that one probiotic may be equally good as any other product. Most people don’t realize how much modern life can adversely affect your probiotic balance.

Most people also don’t know how to compare probiotics. Most people think more bacteria is better than fewer. Not necessarily true. Most consumers like to believe that all probiotics are equally effective. Again not true. Users also believe that all probiotics will remain stable and viable through the expiration date. This is also not true. So how does one make a smart choice?

There are many challenges for consumers in finding the best products. That’s just part of the process. Consumers need to understand that there are also many lifestyle factors that affects your microbiome. There are also health challenges that can disrupt your intestinal balance. The more challenging the circumstances, the more vital it is to understand these distinctions. In this interview with James LaValle, we will discuss these issues.
