Probiotics (multi-strain)
Live bacterial cultures — typically Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains — that support the gut microbiome. Microbial diversity declines with age, affecting inflammation and metabolism.

Dosage
1–10 billion CFU per day for multi-strain products. Prefer enteric-coated capsules.
Considerations
Effects are strain-specific — what works in one product may not work in another. Clinical studies typically reference specific strains, not probiotics as a category.
