Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, may provide health benefits by supporting the balance of the intestinal or other microbiota.
Read Research →Probiotic supplementation may help improve muscle strength and muscle mass, especially in older adults, but it does not replace the need for adequate protein intake. Specific probiotic strains like Lactobacillus paracasei PS23 show promise in enhancing muscle strength and reducing inflammation.
Read Research →Probiotic supplementation may improve muscle strength and muscle mass to some extent, but it does not replace the need for adequate protein intake. Probiotics can be a supportive strategy, especially for older adults or those with muscle loss, but protein remains essential for muscle health.

Read Research →Probiotics show potential benefits for gut microbiota stability, mental wellbeing, immune function, and some gastrointestinal symptoms, but effects vary by strain and condition. Evidence is generally positive but limited by study size and heterogeneity.
Read Research →Certain probiotic strains, particularly Lactobacillus and the strain CECT5713, show potential benefits for fertility, especially in cases of unexplained infertility and male infertility. Evidence for other strains or combinations is limited or mixed.
