About this course

Do you know that probiotics can have adverse effects? Find out which strains do and under what conditions. As the research on our microbiome evolves it is becoming clear that probiotics have a larger impact than we have previously thought. Some of this is negative though. Some probiotics are contraindicated for patients in certain circumstances.

Getting this right has become increasingly important. We’ve known for some time that the benefits of probiotics are strain specific. The potential adverse effects are also specific, enhancing the need to be precise about our probiotic prescriptions.

To bring us up to date on the potential downsides of the wrong probiotics and when multistrain supplements could be harmful, Dr Heather Zwickey will present the latest on this rapidly progressing field. She will update us on how probiotics are functioning under specific circumstances to produce adverse health effects.

Heather will also review the role of probiotics in depression and explain the honeymoon effect. She also has some interesting new research to share with us.
