Baby prescribed probiotic supplement dies; know the benefits and risks linked to these supplements

The safety of probiotics has been called into question after a preterm infant died allegedly due to a probiotic supplement. The FDA is investigating the incident and has issued a warning about the potential risks of probiotics, especially for vulnerable populations like infants. While probiotics offer various health benefits, including supporting gut health and boosting the immune system, their effects can vary, and not all strains or products are the same. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any probiotic regimen.
