Probiotics are a combination of live beneficial bacteria and/or yeasts that naturally live in your body. Bacteria is usually viewed in a negative light as something that makes you sick.

However, you have two kinds of bacteria constantly in and on your body — good bacteria and bad bacteria. Probiotics are made up of good bacteria that helps keep your body healthy and working well. This good bacteria helps you in many ways, including fighting off bad bacteria when you have too much of it, helping you feel better.

Probiotics are part of a larger picture concerning bacteria and your body — your microbiome. Think of a microbiome as a diverse community of organisms, such as a forest, that work together to keep your body healthy. This community is made up of things called microbes. You have trillions of microbes on and in your body. These microbes are a combination of:

• Bacteria
• Fungi (including yeasts).
• Viruses
• Protozoa

Everyone's microbiome is unique. No two people have the same microbial cells - even twins are different.

For a microbe to be called a probiotic, it must have several characteristics. These include being able to:

• Be isolated from a human
• Survive in your intestine after ingestion (being eaten)
• Have a proven benefit to you
• Be safely consumed

Though the most common place linked to beneficial microbes is your gut (mostly large intestines), you have several locations in and on your body that host good microbes. These locations are in contact with the “outside world" and include your:

• Gut
• Mouth
• Vagina
• Urinary tract
• Skin
• Lungs

The main job of probiotics, or good bacteria, is to maintain a healthy balance in your body. Think of it as keeping your body in neutral. When you are sick, bad bacteria enters your body and increases in number. This knocks your body out of balance. Good bacteria works to fight off the bad bacteria and restore the balance within your body, helping you feel more like yourself.

Good bacteria keeps you healthy by supporting your immune function and controlling inflammation. Certain types of good bacteria can also:

• Help your body digest food
• Keep bad bacteria from getting out of control and making you sick
• Create vitamins
• Help support the cells that line your gut to prevent bad bacteria that you may have consumed (through food or drinks) from entering your blood
• Breakdown and absorb medications

This balancing act is naturally happening in your body all of the time. You don't actually need to take probiotic supplements to make it happen. Good bacteria is just a natural part of your body. Eating a well-balanced diet every day helps to keep the number of good bacteria at proper levels.

This information is purely educational and is not intended to claim that our product alleviates the symptoms or results in the benefits listed above.

Though there are many types of bacteria that can be considered probiotics, there are two specific types of bacteria that are common probiotics found in stores. These include:

• Lactobacillus
• Bifidobacterium

Probiotics are also made up of good yeast. The most common type of yeast found in probiotics is:

• Saccharomyces boulardii

You can absolutely increase beneficial microbes in your body from the foods you eat.

Certain foods have probiotics (good bacteria) in them and can benefit the health of your microbiome.

These foods can be introduced into your diet at any point of the day. You may even be regularly eating them now and not realize that they contain probiotics. You will want to check the food label for “live and active cultures.” A few suggestions for just some of the probiotic-rich foods you can add to your diet and some times to try them include:

For breakfast, try:

• Yogurt
• Buttermilk
• Sourdough bread

For lunch, try:

• Cottage cheese
• Kombucha
• Tempeh

For a snack, try:

• Fermented pickles

For dinner, try:

• Fermented sauerkraut
• Kimchi
• Miso soup

Make sure that you are still creating a balanced and healthy meal each time you eat, balance is key. Adding too much of just one food prevents your body from reaping the benefits of other food groups.

There are several ways you can take a probiotic supplement. They come in a variety of forms, including in:

• Foods
• Drinks
• Capsules or pills
• Powders
• Liquids

Probiotic supplements may be combined with a prebiotic. Prebiotics are complex carbohydrates that feed the microorganisms in your gut.

Basically, prebiotics are the "food source" for the good bacteria. They help feed the good bacteria and keep it healthy. Prebiotics include inulin, pectin and resistant starches.

When you have a supplement routine that combines a probiotic and prebiotic, it's called a synbiotic.

Probiotics may initially cause side effects among some first-time users. This includes minor symptoms like stomach cramping, nausea ,and diarrhea. In this sense, yes, probiotics can make you mildly ill. However, symptoms almost always go away after the first day or two. We also believe the side effects are a good sign that the probiotics are having a positive effect on your body. It is just that your system may initially respond in a not so desirable way.

We believe the benefits of probiotics drastically outweigh any possible negative reactions. This isn’t to say that probiotics are universally safe. There are exceptions in which some people may be at risk and should consult a doctor before going on a probiotic supplementation. However, this is always the exception in people with certain pre-existing medical conditions and never the norm.

People sometimes worry about the effects of probiotics, and whether or not the time of day they take them matters. Here is what we have discovered: Probiotics tend to work best and survive the acid in your stomach more easily if you take your supplement during or just before a meal.

However, you should still check with your doctor to make sure it is an effective choice for you and that it will not cause any problematic side effects when taken with other medicines.
