    In many ways, your health begins in your gut

    It’s the center of digestion and nutrient absorption to the rest of the body and the hub for waste removal. More than that, the gut also has a surprising influence on mood, energy and overall well-being.

    A balanced, healthy gut influences nearly every aspect of well-being, from energy and immune function, to skin health and mood. Supporting your microbiome with whole foods, clean water and beneficial bacteria helps strengthen the body’s foundation for wellness.

     

     

    Friends in Low Places – Understanding Probiotics

    If you’ve ever used a microscope, you know that our world is teeming with trillions of tiny organisms – some friends, some foe. Certain strains of these invisible bacteria live in a symbiotic relationship with humans, thriving on the food we eat (especially fiber), while helping us with digestion, immunity and gut health.

    Help break down food, improving digestion 

    • Reduce gas and bloating 

    • Improve elimination 

    • Defend against unfriendly bacteria like E. coli, staph and other invaders 

    • Strengthen the gut wall 

    • Support balance in the urinogenital tract 

     

    All the while they’re fighting for survival amidst our stress, bile acid, immune responses, pH imbalances, medication and other factors that put them at risk.  

     

     

    Who’s Who Among Friendly Flora

    A diversely populated microbiome opens the door to more efficient digestion, greater immune health and a stronger gut. Every strain typically has one or two specialties, so including lots of different strains builds a well-rounded, healthier microbiome. Some of the most popular and powerful strains include: 

    • Lactobacillus rhamnosus – supports immune defenses 

    • Bifidobacterium longum – promotes overall gut balance 

    • B. bifidum – supports digestive comfort and regularity 

    • L. casei – helps maintain yeast balance 

    • L. acidophilus – aids digestion and helps minimize bloating 

    • L. brevis – supports gut, immune and oral health 

    • L. bulgaricus – boosts immune defenses & digestion 

    • L. plantarum – soothes the gut and may boost cardio health
