The speaker also notes variability in probiotic quality and survival to the gut, and claims to have launched a first consumer product for longitudinal tracking.

We should test, not guess. When you supplement.
Do not guess because if you guess, you're most likely going to be wrong unless you have actual data, quantified data to make real data driven decisions from.
There is a danger of over supplementing a child with probiotics or even adults. Right. If it colonizes, it may hamper the natural diversification that you want in a kid who's eating solids and exposed to a lot of different environmental microbes. Is every probiotic supplement equal? No, they're not equal. There are differences in capsules and quality and the different strains in it. Some capsules just dissipate quickly and certain good bacterias, they're exposed to oxygen, they die. So most probiotics don't get to your gut. So that's why I created a baby gut test, because a baby's gut in the first six months looks very different from a 30, 40 year old's gut. You cannot use an adult range for a baby.
