Probiotics are the ‘good bacteria’ in our bodies that help keep us healthy. While mostly known as good gut bugs, there are also beneficial bacteria in our mouth, on our skin, in the vagina and other locations as well. The good bacteria or probiotics, if taken as a supplement, help with digestion, immune function, hormone health and many other functions vital for health.

Prebiotics are the food that probiotics ‘eat’. By incorporating fibers that we cannot digest but our gut bugs can, we encourage them to be strong and healthy themselves. This improves their population and encourages a large, healthy diversity of different bugs in our system. Fibers like inulin, chicory, acacia and others get fermented in the colon by our good bacteria help to improve digestion, immune function, regulate blood sugar and support many other benefits to us and our happy gut bugs.

Yes, you can combine probiotics. There are many different strains of probiotics so it may be necessary to take one for digestive health and one for vaginal health for example. It may be a good idea to start with one type for a few days before adding any additional strains of probiotics so that you will be able to better assess how you feel with the additional probiotics.
