As understanding of the gut microbiome continues to evolve, practitioners are increasingly seeking additional strategies to complement traditional probiotic approaches. In this session, attendees will explore the science behind spore-based probiotics, review clinical evidence evaluating the effects of spore-based probiotics on the gut microbiome and related health outcomes, and discuss practical considerations for incorporating spore-based probiotics into patient care. Through an evidence-based lens, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how the available evidence may inform consideration of spore-based probiotics within a comprehensive microbiome-support strategy.
Key takeaways
- Review the role of the gut microbiome in human health, as well as the dietary and lifestyle factors that contribute to dysbiosis.
- Analyze current research regarding the effects of spore-based probiotics on the gut microbiome, intestinal barrier function, and human health.
- Identify clinical scenarios in which spore-based probiotics may be considered as part of a microbiome-support strategy and apply evidence-based principles for incorporating spore-based probiotics into individualized care plans.
