Last month Alcohol magazine published a research article about the ability of probiotics to improve liver function in heavy drinkers. I am by no means encouraging excess use of alcohol, but it is comforting to know a safe, naturally-occurring supplement such as a probiotic can have a positive impact on the liver.

In the study, participants were either given a standard therapy or a probiotic for five consecutive days. At the completion of the study, participants who received the probiotic had better liver function and a higher number of beneficial bacteria within the gut.
