Do probiotics do more than promote a healthy gut?
They’ve even been shown to help reduce upper respiratory infections and protect against oxidative stress caused by over-exercise. Studies also show certain healthy bacteria found in the stomach and intestines are directly related to neural function, mood, and behavior, alleviating anxiety, stress, and depression.
It’s important to understand what probiotics are best before you start any particular type of product. Different types of probiotics are used for different health issues. See our nutritionist to learn more about how the use of probiotics can benefit your health.
