Probiotics

Learn what probiotics are, how they support gut health and digestion, and how to choose the right probiotic for your routine.*

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help support balance in the gut.*

They play a role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall gut health. Because the gut is connected to many systems in the body, probiotics are often included in daily routines focused on digestive support, immune health, and overall wellness.*

Where do probiotics come from?

Probiotics naturally exist in fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut, as well as within the human gut microbiome. 

In supplements, probiotics are carefully selected strains of beneficial bacteria designed to support consistency and stability. Some formulas, like spore-based probiotics, are designed to survive the digestive process and reach the gut more effectively.*

Why quality probiotics matter

Not all probiotics are the same. The effectiveness of a probiotic depends on the strains used, how they’re delivered, and whether they can survive the digestive process.

A well-designed probiotic helps ensure the bacteria reach the gut and remain active.*

  • Choose clinically studied or well-researched strains 
  • Look for delivery formats designed for stability (like spore-based or protected strains) 
  • Prioritize clean, well-formulated products 
  • Choose formats that fit your daily routine (capsules, gummies, powders)
