Why do you need probiotics?
Today I would like to discuss why you need a probiotic and how to pick the best probiotic supplements. Bacterial cultures in foods date back thousands of years and although many foods contain good bacteria, they don’t contain high enough doses. Therefore, if you supplement with the best probiotics, it is an easy way to increase the number of good bacteria and yeast to help outnumber the bad!
Who needs a probiotic?
- If you ingest processed foods…
- Prone to Yeast problems
- If you drink tap water (gross)…
- Allergy and skin problems
- If you eat antibiotic-treated animals…
- Constipation/diarrhea, irregularity of bowels
- When taking antibiotic
- Probiotics are great to help strengthen/balance your immune system. They are recommended if you have autoimmune diseases or GUT issues like Crohn’s Colitis, diverticulitis etc.
So, I challenge you to get out your probiotic. I will share my top 4 tips on what to look for in the best probiotic supplements:
FIRST, assess your product’s potency.
Read your labels. Many OTC products contain millions not billions.
Additionally, did you know that many products potencies are guaranteed ONLY at their manufacturing date, not at the expiration date? That means If a product says it contains 15 billion colony forming units at manufacturing date, we truly don’t know how potent of a product you are ingesting by the time it gets to your home.
We carry 5, 20, 100 and 225 billion colony forming unit doses in capsules and some powders. Our products are guaranteed to contain their potency AT date of expiration! (not only at the date of manufacturing).
SECOND, you also want to look at the number of strains in your probiotics.
Many popular OTC brands contain only 1 strain or 3 strains. Look for products with several diverse strains. You want many strains like lactobacillus and bifidobacteria species.
Also, does your product contain beneficial yeast like Saccharomyces boulardii?
Our product does. Saccharomyces boulardii is important to help prevent infections like Urinary Tract Infections. It has a rich mannose layer which will bind bacteria, so they don’t bind to the bladder wall.
It’s also great for preventing and treating C. Diff.
THIRD, what kind of capsule is your probiotic in?
If it’s not in a delayed release capsule it won’t make it past stomach acid and make it down to your intestines.
Our probiotics come in delayed-release capsules.
FOURTH, does your probiotic require refrigeration?
Hopefully not as those are not very convenient. The industry has really been moving toward providing shelf stable products. As a matter of fact, our probiotics are shelf stable! They do not require refrigeration.
Most importantly, remember, that you need to supplement! If your product is inferior, let’s get your family switched to the best!
