Health And Wellness Information
Supporting gut health and the health of the gut microbiome plays an important role in overall health, including physical, mental and immune health. Taking a positive approach to managing lifestyle factors such as: getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, managing stress, following a fiber-rich diet full of a variety of fruits, vegetables, fermented foods, and adding probiotics can help support gut health.
Probiotics, often called “friendly bacteria,” are living microorganisms that, when consumed in sufficient numbers, can provide health benefits to the host.1 While probiotics generally do not colonize the gut, many do provide their benefits in the colon, having a beneficial impact on the bacteria already living there.2 Probiotics have been shown to provide strain-specific health benefits such as supporting gut and immune health.
