Description*

For people who experience occasional digestive discomfort, it’s an unpleasant reality that can limit or interfere with quality of life. Achieving a healthy balance in our gut microbiome is essential for overall health, including helping to keep our immune system healthy. Seventy percent of the body’s immune system is in our gut, making it that much more important that we keep our digestive system healthy and balanced. It's important to eat a variety of fermented foods in the diet such as yogurt and kombucha, however, based on a number of factors, we may need to take a daily probiotic supplement to help keep our system balanced. 

Each capsule of Biome Balance contains 15 billion live colony forming units (CFUs). CFUs are a unit of measure that determines the number of bacterial cells in a probiotic supplement or lab sample. This matters for probiotics, because CFUs indicates how many living beneficial bacteria are in your probiotic, which is needed for a probiotic to be effective. Higher CFU counts are sometimes seen as a quality indicator, however higher counts don’t always make a product ‘better’. Quality strains and combinations such as those found in Biome Balance, as well as clinical studies showing efficacy, should also be taken into consideration.

This probiotic blend features 2 important probiotic strains, Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®, that have been clinically studied together and individually, to support GI and immune health. Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM® is the most widely studied strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus with over 200 research publications to date demonstrating its efficacy.  In one study of 465 adults, the combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM® and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 helped keep study participants healthy, and in a separate study, this powerful combination worked to reduce bloating associated with occasional abdominal discomfort.
