Probiotics are well-known for their role in supporting gut health – but to exert a health benefit, they need to survive the entire journey through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In this Lunch and Learn with dietitian Teri Lichtenstein, we’ll explore the science behind probiotic survivability and why it’s essential to choose probiotics that reach the gut alive. We’ll also unpack the key differences between everyday yoghurts and those enriched with probiotic strains proven to support gut health. Walk away with practical, evidence-based strategies to help your clients include probiotics every day and support their digestive wellbeing.
