Take a probiotic that is liquid and diverse.

The beneficial microbes - also known as
bacteria - are alive (not freeze dried like in capsules) so can be better absorbed by
your body. Importantly, they are able to work as a community as they’ve done in nature for centuries (single strain extraction for a specific health outcomes is a relatively new concept).

What affects gut health?

Do you have a constant ache in your gut? Do you find yourself having to hurry away from others in social situations? Have you just completed a course of antibiotics?

Modern life directly contributes to an unhealthy gut through;

Poor nutrition

Inflammatory foods like gluten, refined sugars, refined seed oils and trans fats kill good microbes and allow bad microbes to thrive. They also damage the lining of the intestine and can cause leaky gut, where toxins and particles leak into the bloodstream.

Medications

Antibiotics, the oral contraceptive pill and synthetic prescription drugs can damage the gut. Studies show one course of antibiotics affects the balance of gut bacteria for two years.

Chronic infections

Including candida, parasites or worms. Candida is part of a healthy gut and is kept in check by other bacteria and yeasts. When a large number of bacteria are killed off – by taking antibiotics for example – the candida grows unchecked and toxic waste products affect health. 

Stress

In our world, people are often stressed, busy and tired. Stress can reshape the gut bacteria’s composition and weaken the immune system leading to inflammation.
