Probiotics found to offset the detrimental effects of stress on the immune system
Given stress is bad for health while probiotics are good for the gut, Argentinean researchers decide to determine whether or not the latter can offset the former. Their experiment on stressed mice revealed that probiotic supplements could boost the immune system of the gut against infection. Stress conditions disrupt the natural balance of the body. These physiological changes […]

But, as a new study demonstrated, potatoes may actually be more beneficial than detrimental. MSPrebiotic, a natural, digestion-resistant starch made from potato (Solanum tuberosum) extract was found to have a positive impact on gut microbiota and […]
