The personalised probiotics dispenser has been patented, and the units are being manufactured

 

MED-CU has invented a Personalised Probiotics (Dispensing) Machine to deliver live microorganisms that have health benefits to treat patients with unclear health problems and those with microbial imbalances or dysbiosis.

 

Based on the research "Comparative Microbiome Analysis for the Probiotics Development" with the support of the Thailand Research Fund (TRF), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Krit Pongpirul, M.D., M.P.H., Ph.D. Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University in Thailand has discovered several probiotics that help reduce blood lipids, liver fat, and skin fat, and was inspired to create the Personalized Probiotics (Dispensing) Machine (PPM) so that each person receives the correct dose and strains as needed.

 

"This device can dispense probiotics to people with poor microbial homeostasis, and people who lack certain beneficial microorganisms, including those with unknown illnesses, to boost and maintain the balance of microorganisms within the body," said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Krit.

How about developing a "Reason and Rationale Dispenser" (RRD)? Could be a winner.

My GF's mom would likely scrub it down with bleach to kill all the bacteria every day

Fully tested and signed off by the Thai FDA no-doubt?

Or Yakult.

Good , now add it to the list of useless things we dont need and start importing cheap and slave manufactured probiotics from China!

[robblok]

If this does what it promises it can be a game changer. People are talking about Yakult ort yogurt, true but there are so many strains of bacteria that it would be nice to know what one's people are lacking. Just randomly taking probiotics won't help unless you know what ones you're lacking.

 

I can't say that I am sure this machine works or not but the idea behind it is good.

Hope they work better then the bomb detectors did

Trying to picture people pooping into a vending machine, stool analysis the only way I've heard of to diagnose gut biome imbalances.

More useless stuff.

Faecal implants best to rebalance your microbial flora.
