Go With Your Gut - How to Pick the Best Probiotic for You
September 09, 20205 min read
The beneficial health effects of probiotics are getting a lot of well-deserved attention lately.
Probiotics are living organisms—good bacteria—acquired at birth that live in your gut microbiome. This is important because your gastrointestinal health (the gut) is responsible for the health of your immune system.Good gut bacteria keep the bad bacteria away.
If your gut microbiome is off-balance, so is your immune health. Current research studies are exploring how the make-up of the gut microbiome influences other health issues, too.
This is why Garden of Life has developed a unique line of probiotics designed to target specific health issues. Garden of Life understands that you have different needs at various stages of life.
