Perhaps 75% or more of those reading this, including me - likely closer to >90% - have had their microbiomes decimated by antibiotics at some point in their lives.
In our current culture - even though the article doesn't promote it or, for that matter, lead any discussion whatsoever about the LACK of the bacterium - the natural tendency would be to seek a supplement.
There's a reason why A. muciniphila is not included in nearly all OTC probiotics, and the explanation is cut from the article below:
This can lead to the depletion of the large intestine's mucus layer—throwing the microbiome's delicate ecosystem out of balance. This increases the chance of developing inflammatory diseases. So, although A. muciniphila is not a pathogen, it can remove too much mucus under the wrong conditions.Translated: Supplementing improperly with A. muciniphila has the potential to damage your gut. BADLY, and lead to a cavalcade of impaired health symptoms. That's without any warnings on the bottle WHATSOEVER. Go look for yourselves. Hence my post.
Yes, fiber is helpful to a 'healthy' gut, but if anyone reading this has any gut symptoms whatsoever, don't go diagnosing yourselves via medxpress, even for a change of diet: Consult a Naturopath.
Fair, FRiendly warning.
I doubt you can over supplement. It’s anaerobic. Until recently it wasn’t available in a supplement because exposure to oxygen killed it.
