    I'm sceptical when they start selling before providing documentation regarding effect, but nothing would be better than if it really turns out to be helpful for some. Just show us some evidence before asking for money, please.

    I'm interested in the study, but I don't like hype. And just using probiotics without looking at diet, physical activity, sleep patterns, time spent outdoors and other factors that can influence the gut microbiome just doesn't work for me. If you eat a diet that does not feed these bacteria, or that feeds bacteria that then outnumber the ones you want to move in/or in other ways stops the new bacteria from staying around) there will be issues. The "staying power" of probiotics is not that high to begin with if I remember correctly, although different ways of creating the capsules and what bacteria is included could give different results..

    I'm a bit out of the research on this at the moment, so something might have changed :)
