without first speaking with your doctor. Now, let's head to the show. Hey, everyone, welcome back.

0:45.8

Let's talk more about probiotics and how they can. In this case, improve children's health,

0:51.4

oral health, and with infections. And there's a lot here for us to unpack.

0:57.7

One of the studies for which, looking at our overview, does the specificity regarding strain matter?

1:05.2

Very elegant study here. And why this helps or could help is because you can make the selection of a probiotic

1:12.8

potentially more confining and more difficult if you require a highly specific strain.
