As probiotics have become increasingly popular in recent years, it is important for consumers and clinicians to understand the details of the potential health effects of these supplements.

Chapter 2 summarizes studies on the probiotic impact of functional foods on the immune system and analyzes the future of the probiotic functional food market. Chapter 3 describes pathways and mechanisms through which probiotics may improve hypothyroidism and its complications. Chapter 4 presents a literature review of intestinal microbiota and bone health and discusses the effectiveness of probiotics in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. Chapter 5 presents an FTIR analysis of protein/peptide-based biopolymers used for probiotic encapsulation. Lastly, Chapter 6 collates experimental studies on probiotics with ameliorative effects on arsenic toxicity.
