HELLO! I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT BENEFITS YOU! WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. We are back. And this time, we are taking on arguably the biggest wellness hack that people spend money on. The NEW Citizens Project will now look at a massive list of Probiotics for their quality claims. People consume probiotics for a host of things. Gut health, protection against alcohol use, brain improvement, improving digestive symptoms, exercise recovery and even sleep! Despite generating over $75 billion in annual sales (and heading toward $115 billion by 2030), most store-bought probiotics suffer from poor quality control because they are regulated as food supplements rather than medicines. Independent lab tests regularly reveal that what is on the label is not inside the bottle: products frequently contain dead bacteria, far lower doses than advertised, missing bacterial types, or unlisted contaminants. Even when the microbes are alive on the shelf, poorly made capsules often fail to protect them, meaning stomach acid destroys the bacteria before they ever reach your gut. These widespread failures show an urgent need for strict regulation and mandatory independent testing before products reach consumers. For a generally healthy person, over-the-counter probiotics rarely deliver real value for money or live up to their bold marketing promises. Good bacteria are not a one-size-fits-all cure; specific microbes only help specific illnesses, and in a healthy gut, supplement bacteria usually pass right through the body without sticking around. Unless a doctor recommends a clinically proven product for a specific medical issue, buying daily general probiotics is largely an expensive waste of money. Are you wasting money of the hyper rated probiotic supplements? Are you really getting what you spend money for? The Citizens Probiotics Project will look at standards and quality of probiotics sold to you across the medical and wellness pharma spectrum and in great depth that is the highest standards in medical science and industry. We have the list (>100 products) and the pricing is being finalized. But, it you would like to get onboard and help us with early logistics, such as purchases and travel then please think about supporting us here with the minimum of ₹500 pages.razorpay.com/meshPromo… ...or wait for the full project to go live for specific levels of funding for the public, in a few weeks. We hope we can provide you with the highest quality of citizens science you'll ever witness in this era. Thank you in advance! - for Mission for Ethics and Science in Healthcare (MESH) meshindia.org
