5 Signs You May Benefit From a Probiotic

5 Signs You May Benefit From a Probiotic

1. You have bowel/digestive irregularity 

This could be a sign that the bacteria in your gut is unbalanced (i.e., there isn't enough "good" bacteria to keep your gut happy and bowels moving normally). Probiotics add "good" bacteria to your body.*

 

2. You have recently taken an antibiotic

Although antibiotics can be really effective at killing off the bad stuff in your body, sometimes they end up killing off some of the "good" bacteria in your gut at the same time. This can leave you unbalanced.* 

 

3. Your sugar cravings are out of control

Our cravings can sometimes point to problems in the body. "Bad" bacteria often thrives on sugar. If you feel yourself craving sugar abnormally, one reason could be that you're hosting a sugar-lovin' bacteria!*

 

4. You get yeast infections often

Yeast infections and Candida are linked to an overgrowth of "bad" bacteria in the body. Taking a probiotic supplement can help crowd out "bad" bacteria by adding "good" ones.*

 

5. You have a weak immune system

Approximately 70% of the immune system is located in the gut, believe it or not. Taking probiotics has been clinically shown to boost the immune system and provide a greater defense against illness.*
