Huberman Lab Clips(@HLPClips):The data on probiotics is not convincing: - Studies after antibiotic treatment point to slower recovery of the mucosal microbiota with a probiotic - Meta-analyses still show benefit in some cases: preventing diarrheal disease and recovery from viral diarrhea - The product range is enormous and every person's microbiome is its own case, so results don't transfer - Find a well-designed study where a specific probiotic did the thing you want, then stick with that product Dr. Justin Sonnenburg on @hubermanlab
