Gut health — probiotics and enzymes for a balanced gut flora
This collection focuses specifically on the balance of the gut flora — for those with recurrent digestive problems, bloating, or who have undergone antibiotic treatments. We carry strains for several different needs.
What happens in the body?
The gut's 10^13 bacteria are divided into hundreds of species. Dysbiosis (imbalance) occurs due to antibiotics, stress, poor diet, or infection. Symptoms can include bloating, irregular bowel movements, skin problems, or low energy. Probiotics can support recovery, but diet and lifestyle are the foundation.
How we think when selecting products
We prioritize BiOptimizers P3-OM (spore-based, stomach acid resistant), BiOptimizers MassZymes for digestive support, Seeking Health ProBiota Bifido for broad-spectrum support, ProBiota HistaminX for histamine-sensitive individuals, and Smidge Sensitive Probiotic for a sensitive nervous system. Different guts need different strains — we cover a spectrum.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right probiotic?
For bloating — broad-spectrum. For histamine intolerance — HistaminX. For sensitive nervous system or MCAS — Sensitive. If you are unsure, contact us.
How long should one take probiotics?
At least one month to evaluate. Some continue daily, others cycle with 1 month on, 1 off.
Do you also need to eat prebiotics?
Preferably — bacteria need fiber. Wholefoods (vegetables, fruits, legumes) are usually sufficient.
