“…Some evidence exists for certain probiotics to help manage blood lipids in people with mild hypercholesterolemia (Wang et al 2018). Probiotics can improve lactose digestion in lactose intolerant people, with most evidence showing that lactose consumed in yogurt with live cultures is better tolerated than the same amount of lactose consumed without live cultures (Oak & Jha 2018). A recent systematic review evaluated the role of probiotics in the management of lower gastrointestinal symptoms (Hungin et al 2018).…”

Probiotics have become a popular approach for managing digestive and immune health and are being recommended more frequently as effective therapeutic interventions by medical professionals. Introduced early in the 20th century, the science of probiotics has advanced considerably, especially in the past two decades. Researchers have adopted a consensus definition, begun to understand many of the mechanisms of action, defined characteristics important to probiotic function and have obtained clinical evidence supporting probiotic health benefits and product quality. Nonetheless, a need remains for clear, evidence‐based communications to consumers on the role of probiotics in a healthy diet and to healthcare providers regarding clinical use. However, regulatory frameworks in many countries have restricted progress on this front. There is a need for additional research to further clarify the most effective probiotics for given health outcomes and to identify people most likely to respond to specific probiotic interventions. This review provides current perspective on the probiotic concept, discusses evidence‐based probiotic interventions, considers fermented foods with regard to probiotics and addresses some regulatory challenges facing the probiotic field.

“…The use of probiotics and prebiotics could be used as therapeutic approaches against diseases. In fact, it was recently reported that consumption of probiotics had an overall positive relationship with lactose intolerance [46]. In order to determine the mechanism by which fermented milk consumption confers health benefits, serum metabolome was measured in 14 healthy males in a randomized crossover study following consumption of either non-fermented milk or yoghurt.…”

The development of agricultural products as well as the industrialization of food production have led to dramatic lifestyle changes, particularly in dietary patterns, which in turn has increased the occurrence of chronic diseases and hypertension. In order to help overcome this, the food industry has developed functional milk products. Milk products, particularly fermented milk containing probiotics, are popular. Probiotics may promote gut health, reduce allergenicity, increase the bio-accessibility of fats/proteins in foods, and lower blood pressure because they contain poly-amines and bioactive peptides. Bioactive peptides have been shown to lower the risk of hypertension and cancer. Herein, we discuss the potential role of fermented milk as a functional drink acting against hypertension. However, longer-term research studies are necessary to evaluate the role of fermented milk drinks in supporting human health.

Scientific and clinical evidence on the health effects of probiotics has expanded rapidly in recent years and points towards benefits for a number of specific health conditions, particularly those related to the gut. Healthcare professionals are important conduits in the transfer of evidence‐based messages on probiotics, but research indicates many do not consider themselves to have good knowledge in this area. To identify potential solutions to support healthcare professionals, the British Nutrition Foundation held a one‐day roundtable event on 7 February 2019 to gather expert views on the content of, and best delivery mode for, evidence‐based resources to guide healthcare professional advice about the use of probiotics. This report describes the main themes emerging from the discussions and the group's recommendation for the development of a UK‐focused online toolkit for healthcare professionals, which assimilates, appraises and translates current scientific knowledge of probiotics to promote evidence‐based practice for the benefit of patients.
