The power of probiotics is THE discovery of the century.
Good organisms heal. Bad ones destroy health.
At ProbioticsNow, we bridge the gap between science and health, yours and ours.
Why Probiotics Now?
Probiotics, the good microbes, have upended every facet of health.
Just a few decades of discovery reveal powerful ties to medical mysteries including cancer, obesity, infections, depression and much more.

Nanoparticles: Effects on Gut Microbiota
The growing use of nanoparticles (NPs) — clusters of atoms ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers (one millimeter equals one million nanometers) in one dimension— in the food chain, as additives or incorporated into food packaging, has led to concern over their impact on human health. Recent reviews have reported that the gut microbiota may be adversely altered by NPs, leading to shifts resembling that in diseases where gut [...]
