Ancient Probiotics Women’s Once Daily may be the new kid on the block but it’s turning heads for a reason. Made from specially selected strains of probiotics to benefit your gut in the most effective way. Choosing the right probiotics is important for many reasons. Many companies sell probiotics that don’t always make it all the way to your digestive tract, meaning you’re often getting a lower CFU count than promised. Soil-based organisms, known as SBOs, are unique organisms as their very structure is naturally resistant to the harsh environment of the upper digestive tract and stomach. Also known as “spore-forming bacteria”, SBOs are able to “seed” the digestive tract with beneficial bacteria which can grow and flourish to support health, including supporting healthy digestion and more. SBOs are hardier than other forms of bacteria, since they don’t require refrigerations (meaning they are “shelf stable”) or any special handling, and can better survive the journey through the stomach to your intestines. When you consider the major role that gut microbes play in the normal, healthy functioning of the body, it’s no wonder that gut microbes in and of themselves are considered an “organ” and can directly affect our brain health, immune health, our metabolic health and weight as well as the effectiveness of our body’s built-in detoxification system. Among many other strains, you’ll find Bacillus coagulans and Lactobacillus plantarum in all Ancient Probiotics formulas. These two are most known for their ability to grow and develop in the harsh environment of your digestive tract. Additionally, you’ll find Triphala, and Ayurvedic Superfruit Trio in all Ancient Probiotic formulas. These herbs and spices are traditionally used to support gut and bowel health.
