Abstract
JIMENEZ ORTEGA, Ana Isabel et al. Nutrition and microbiota in pediatric population. Health implications. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.spe2, pp.8-12. Epub Dec 28, 2020. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.03349.
The microbiota of our body is a rising issue on which more and more research is being studied and investigated. The acquisition and modification of the microbiota throughout life, and especially the alteration of its balance, is related to different diseases.
One way to modify this microbiota, which can also be useful in disease situations, to restore the proper balance is through the consumption of marketed probiotics.
There are very different types of probiotics and not all of them have demonstrated effectiveness in all indications or situations. Therefore, the objective of this article is to explain those indications of probiotics for which evidence has been described according to different guides and scientific studies.
