Probiotic Bowel Regularity Meta-AnalysisConsistent with this concern, recent meta-analyzes reveal that the clinical efficacy of traditional probiotics is frequently modest, heterogeneous, and highly strain-dependent.Benefits are often confined to specific patient subgroups or symptomatic outcomes, with limited and inconsistent effects on objective immunological biomarkers,as observed also in allergic and dysbiosis-associated conditions.3Cappella Claudia (2026)Rethinking probiotics: breaking the Lactobacillus - Bifidobacterium duopoly in the management of dysbiosis and allergies
Probiotic Bowel Regularity Meta-AnalysisThey increasingly follow drug-like development and regulatory pathways as LBPs, which introduces additional challenges related to chemistry, manufacturing and control, stability, safety assessment, engraftment potential, and antimicrobial-resistance risk (Food and Drug Administration - FDA 2016/2018; European Medicine Agency - EMA guidance).3Cappella Claudia (2026)Rethinking probiotics: breaking the Lactobacillus - Bifidobacterium duopoly in the management of dysbiosis and allergies
