Ancient Probiotic Strains for IBS and Heart Health
As modern hygiene, processed foods, and antibiotics have civilized our external world, we have inadvertently sterilized our internal world, leading to a drastic loss in microbial diversity. On Ep. 17 of The Pulse Unbound, Kaneka's head of probiotics research Jordi Riera joins Jason Watkin and Adam O'Meara to share the fascinating journey of sourcing ancient probiotic strains that many in the western world have lost. They explore how Kaneka researchers bypassed modern, antibiotic-depleted populations to sample pre-modern, rural communities in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, recovering the highly resilient human strains now utilized in Purica Probiotic Intensive G.I. and Probiotic Cardio. This podcast will also clear the air as to why more strains and more CFUs are not better when it comes to probiotic supplements and how one recent discovery is evolving our understanding of what those trillions of microbes may actually be doing to improve our health.
