Probiotic Limitations

Meaning

Probiotic Limitations refer to the inherent constraints and reduced clinical efficacy associated with the conventional use of over-the-counter probiotic supplements for complex gastrointestinal and systemic health issues. These limitations stem from issues such as poor strain survival through the acidic stomach environment, low strain diversity compared to the native gut ecosystem, and the inability of transient strains to permanently colonize a dysbiotic gut. Understanding these limitations is crucial for transitioning from generalized supplementation to advanced gut therapy.
