What Are Probiotics?

Probiotics are live bacteria that line your digestive tract and are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because of their overall supportive role in helping to restore the composition of the gut microbiome. By creating an ideal environment, probiotics can support nutrient absorption, comfortable digestion, overall brain health, and the body’s natural immune response to seasonal allergens.

How do Probiotics Work?

Probiotics may provide health benefits through several proposed mechanisms, many of which researchers are still actively uncovering. The foundational benefits of probiotics, especially in conditions related to gut health may be attributed to:

  • Healthy gut microflora*
  • Production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which further helps manage normal gut function*
