Chances are, your gut isn’t perfect. In fact, functional medicine doctor Robert Rountree, M.D. says that suboptimal gut health is rampant within our population.

One way to support a healthier gut? Take a high-quality probiotic supplement.*

That said, there are a plethora of probiotics out there, which is why it’s important to recognize the different bacterial strains, and how each one affects our bodies in different ways: “If a company doesn’t know what strains of bacteria their probiotic has, I would run,” Rountree said in an mbg podcast.

As for the supplement that mbg created with scientists, health experts, and robust manufacturers, probiotic+, it’s the only probiotic in the world with these four bacterial strains (B. lactis Bi-07, B. lactis Bi-420, B. lactis HN019, and L. acidophilus NCFM) supported by published clinical evidence to ease bloating, aid digestion, and elevate your gut microbiome.*

One study suggests that the bacteria can improve digestion 1 by week two of supplementation. By the third week, another published study says that the bacterial strain can optimize the number of daily bowel movements 2 and promote abdominal comfort 3.* Finally, by week six, you’ll support a healthy weight 1, according to a randomized clinical trial.*

The takeaway

We know we don’t have to tell you how important the gut microbiome is for our overall well-being, and the right probiotic can help support it and maintain key, daily functions of the digestive system.*

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications, consult with your doctor before trying supplements. It is always optimal to consult with a health care provider when considering what is right for you.
