Soil borne organisms are bacteria that have been on this planet for billions of years. These bacteria are essential for all life.  Humans have more bacteria than they have blood cells. In fact, we are made of bacteria! SBOs are living organisms that come from the soil. Historically, they were in our soil, and therefore, our food, but since the industrialization of farming, they have systematically been killed off from our use of herbicides, fungicide, pesticides and other synthetic/chemical products. The SBOs in Wondrous Gut include bacteria that are no longer found in soil and therefore our food. Overuse of antibiotics has also contributed to the death of bacteria in both animals and humans. Taking WG contributes to repopulating and restoring the microbiome in the gut.
