Smidge® - Optimal Probiotic Capsules - B/B 1 Sep 2024

Smidge® Optimal Probiotic Capsules (formerly Probiotic) is essential for advanced gut health as this 13-strain blend helps you regenerate and maintain a healthy microbiome.

Smidge® Optimal Probiotic capsules are ideal if you've used probiotics in the past and are at a more advanced stage of digestive healing — and want to keep maintaining a healthy gut.* You may have experienced some benefits of probiotic supplements but want more, or wanting more than your current probiotic is delivering.

This little capsule holds 13 clinically-proven probiotic strains for gut health; 12 human strains and one plant strain (L. rhamnosus, L. casei, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei, L. brevis, L. gasseri, L. salivarius, B. bifidum, B. breve, B. infantis, B. longum, B. lactis — and the green guy, L. plantarum).

These probiotics are living organisms that reside deep within your gut. They can help to digest food and absorb nutrients, and keep harmful microorganisms under control.

A healthy community of probiotic bacteria can support the following:

• A strong and well-regulated immune system: Probiotics have been shown in hundreds of studies to both support a vigilant immune system and help regulate immune response.*

• Comfortable and thorough digestion: Probiotics support a healthy digestive system and also play critical roles in helping your body break down and absorb nutrients. They even produce critical vitamins when your body is in need, like K2 and several B vitamins.*

• A strong gut lining: Probiotics can strengthen the gut lining and may protect the body from the effects of synthetic chemicals and pathogens.*

• A healthy urinary and reproductive tract: Healthy microbes in your urogenital tract can occupy space and produce chemicals that keep troublesome microbes in check.*

• A sharp memory, steady concentration and an overall positive feeling: Research reveals these friendly organisms help your body produce neurotransmitters that shape the way your brain grows and functions — to boost mood and ease mild anxiety.*

• A healthy heart, glowing skin and more.*

Smidge recommends taking your probiotic with a meal or directly before the meal (around the same time daily). It's beneficial if the meal also contains some natural, organic fat or oil.

Taking your probiotic with yummy food provides a buffering system for the supplement and ensures its safe passage through the digestive tract. Food also provides the friendly bacteria in your probiotic the proper nourishment to ensure its survival in your gut.

Smidge Probiotics work best with an ancestral diet: unprocessed foods (meat, vegetables, fruits), healthy fats (olive oil, butter, lard, coconut oil, etc.) and no grains (i.e., no wheat, corn, rice, etc.).

Please avoid taking probiotics with certain foods that may diminish the potency:

Avoid chlorinated water.

Avoid hot soup and hot beverages (coffee, tea, etc.).

Avoid highly processed foods (store-bought juice, sugar, wheat and soy products).
