The term probiotic literally translates to “for life.” Probiotics support the health of your gut biome by either rebalancing or replenishing lost parts of the biome, or nourishing what’s there with food the good bacteria love.
The human gastrointestinal tract contains millions of strains of bacteria known as the microbiota or the “gut biome”. This internal and diverse ecosystem helps us to digest the foods that we eat, supports our body’s immune system, and even helps to maintain our mental health.
Probiotics can be found in fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, kimchi and miso. Probiotic supplements can fill the gap for those who don’t eat such foods often or want to help maintain a healthy gut.
Probiotics have several potential health benefits:
- May Improve digestive health – Probiotic bacteria help break down complex carbohydrates and helping the body to absorb the vitamins and nutrients in the foods we eat. Probiotics can sometimes help ease gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diarrhea, and constipation.
- Balances the microbiota in the gut – Poor meal choices, antibiotics, and other medications can create an imbalance known as dysbiosis within the intestinal tract. Dysbiosis can trigger inflammation, allergies, and other autoimmune issues. Taking a probiotic supplement can introduce beneficial bacteria into the gut and provide the balance that the body needs to heal itself.
- Mental Health – Researchers found that there is a direct connection between the gut and our mental health. This is often referred to as the gut-brain axis. Scientists believe that having a balanced microbiota is crucial for good mental health and mood regulation. More research is being done to determine whether probiotics may also help regulate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
- Boosts the Immune System – As mentioned above, our gut plays a crucial role in the functioning of our immune system. A significant number of our immune cells live in the gut lining. Probiotics help shore up our immunity to illness and other stressors we encounter every day.
- Supports a Healthy Heart – Researchers have found that certain strains of probiotics seem to be helpful in reducing cholesterol levels and, in turn, potentially lowering blood pressure to help promote a healthier cardiovascular system.
- Can Assist Weight Management – Recent studies have shown that the microbiota in our gut potentially has a direct effect on our body weight and metabolism. Probiotics may do this by affecting dietary nutrients and by promoting a feeling of fullness.
- Promotes Skin Health – What we eat can directly affect how our skin looks and feels. The microbiota, if it is imbalanced, can cause acne, eczema, rosacea, and other forms of inflammation. Probiotics may help ease these conditions.
- Promotes Good Vaginal and Urinary Health – Scientists at the University of Iowa and other research teams have found that probiotics can help keep microorganisms that live in both the urinary and vaginal tracts healthy and potentially keep out the harmful bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections and bacterial vaginosis.
There are many benefits to incorporating probiotic-rich foods into your diet. However, when our diets fall short, taking a probiotic supplement might be an excellent solution.
That is why we are proud to introduce one of the latest solutions to our health supplement line, Sir Jason Winters’ Organic Probiotic Gummies for adults. Each of our organic strawberry-flavored gummies contains 5 billion CFUs of Bacillus subtilis, which can promote good gut biome health.
Research has shown that a good probiotic supplement should have between 5 and 10 billion colony-forming units or CFUs. The CFUs show how much beneficial flora you will get within a supplement.
Our gummies are completely non-GMO and naturally flavored, and two gummies taken daily or as directed by a qualified healthcare professional can provide a boost for maintaining good gut health.
Now, for a limited time, we are offering our 60-count bottles of our Organic Probiotic Gummies for Adults at a great low price. Each bottle, regularly priced at $24.95, is now available for just $12.95 each!
