Hey everyone, Dr. Martin here! 🧔🏼
If you’re aiming to improve your gut health, selecting the right probiotic can make all the difference. Here’s what to look for: go for a probiotic with live, active cultures, ideally harvested when the bacteria were still alive and active. The label should mention CFUs, which stands for colony-forming units. This tells you the count of live bacteria—look for something with at least 20 to 100 billion CFUs for a powerful boost to your microbiome. Also, choose a probiotic with 8-10+ strains to cover a range of benefits.
But don’t stop at supplements! Add fermented foods like kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, or pickles to your diet to bring in even more live, varied probiotics. This variety is key to supporting your digestive health, immune function, and overall well-being. Find the ones you enjoy and make it a habit for a healthy, balanced gut.
