ALSUpdated a year ago
The gut microbiota has been linked to ALS within the research in a few ways.
Weak intestinal tight junctions
Increased gut permeability "leaky gut"
Reduced levels of the butyrate-producing bacteria
Our probiotics and prebiotic target increasing beneficial bacteria that contribute to the strength of the lining of the gut (tight junctions & gut permeability) as well as increasing bacteria that produce the short-chain fatty acid, butyrate. However, we do not have a specific probiotic targeted at ALS but our gut health probiotic and prebiotic targets areas that ALS has been associated with.
