Excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Charles Mok ("How Diet Impacts MS Care", 2025-04-14). A single-speaker segment advising use of prebiotics rather than probiotics, naming beta thylakoids (a spinach extract) and lacto-oligosaccharide to boost gut microbial richness and diversity, and recommending a more plant-based diet with occasional fasting (e.g., skipping breakfast) as complementary measures.

We put people on two prebiotics, not probiotics. They can go on those, but then we don't use that, we use prebiotics. These are food sources that stimulate the beneficial bacteria. Probiotics, we use something called beta thylakoids, which is a spinach extract, like a spinach powder screen. Another prebiotic called lacto oligosaccharide. So those two improve richness and diversity of the gastrointestinal tract. And then of course, eating healthy, maybe going more plant based diet than meat based diet, and maybe a little bit of fasting, skipping breakfast or something. Those combinations do give some benefits.
