Probiotics
Also known as: Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, probiotic supplement, gut health supplement
Live microorganisms intended to confer a health benefit. Different strains have different evidence profiles. Relevant to hormonal health via the gut-hormone axis (oestrobolome), with the gut microbiome playing a role in oestrogen metabolism, immune regulation, mood (gut-brain axis), and metabolic health.

How does Probiotics work?
Specific probiotic strains colonise the gut, competing with pathogenic bacteria and producing short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, propionate, acetate). The oestrobolome (gut bacteria with beta-glucuronidase activity) influences circulating oestrogen levels by deconjugating oestrogen metabolites for reabsorption. Gut bacteria also produce neurotransmitter precursors (GABA, serotonin) and modulate systemic inflammation.
