The Power of Prebiotics
In this module, we examine the important role of prebiotics in supporting gut. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence and practical dietary approaches, healthcare professionals will gain a deeper understanding of how to use prebiotics to improve patient outcomes. The module also explores current research on the role of prebiotics in managing IBS, metabolic disorders, and immune function.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
In this module, we explore how probiotics influence symptoms and treatment outcomes in individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. As a healthcare professional, you’ll gain valuable insights into selecting the right probiotic strains for IBS patients, understanding their mechanisms of action, and optimising treatment outcomes
Delivery Mechanisms of Probiotics
While probiotics are widely recognized for their ability to support digestive and immune health, emerging research has highlighted a critical gap – probiotic effectiveness is only possible if these micro-organisms survive production, storage, the shelf as well as harsh stomach conditions. Are your patients getting the benefits promised on the label?
The Microbiome, Probiotics and our Health
The gut microbiome has rapidly emerged as one of the most influential players in human health – shaping digestion, immunity, metabolic function, and even mood. But what do we really understand about this invisible ecosystem? And how can probiotics be harnessed to support clinical outcomes?
