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 and ready to respond when needed. Seventy percent of the body’s immune system is in our gut, making it that much more important to 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 also need to take a daily probiotic supplement to keep our system balanced.

Each capsule of Biome Balance contains 50 billion live colony forming units (CFUs) and a proprietary prebiotic blend. 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 several important probiotic strains, including 3 clinically studied strains - Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1®, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, and Bifidobacterium lactis UABla-12, that have all been studied to support GI and immune health. In fact, Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1® alone has decades of scientific research and is one of the most thoroughly studied acidophilus strains. In studies it has been shown to be helpful for normalizing stool frequency and supporting regular bowel movements and comfort. It also helped improve quality of life as impacted by digestive health and reduced occasional bloating.

This probiotic also contains a proprietary prebiotic blend made from Sunfiber®, a galactomannan (not a starch or sugar-based fiber), that serves as food for the gut microbiome. This prebiotic fiber helps support a healthy balanced gut flora and overall wellness. Sunfiber® is a medium-chain carbohydrate that offers a level fermentation that provides support for GI discomfort. A growing body of evidence supports the importance of supplementing with prebiotics to provide the essential nourishment needed for healthy flora to survive and successfully colonize the GI tract.
