The ILSI Europe Probiotics Task Force commissioned an expert group to evaluate the evidence of the functionality of probiotics in four areas:
1) Metabolism
2) Chronic Intestinal Inflammatory (IBD) and Functional Disorders (IBS)
3) Infections
4) Allergy
The resulting papers have been published recently under a supplement entitled "Guidance for Assessing the Probiotics Beneficial Effects: How to Fill the Gap" of The Journal of Nutrition. Based on the existing evidence, concrete examples of demonstration of benefits and gaps are listed; guidelines and recommendations are defined in order to help designing the next generation of probiotic studies observing the gut and microbes interactions.
All the articles of the Supplement are accessible in the Journal of Nutrition website with the links below:
