Frequently Asked Questions

Probiotics are live, “good” bacteria that help keep your body healthy. Our body has a balance of “good” and “bad” bacteria. When “bad” bacteria outweigh the “good”, we can feel unwell. In order to restore balance, supplemental “good” bacteria can help. Probiotics help renew the normal friendly bacteria that has been lost – allowing you to feel better while you’re getting better.

• Lactobacillus is active in the digestive, vaginal and urinary tracts and helps to maintain and regulate a healthy state.
• Bifidobacterium is active in the small intestine and helps to protect the lining of the gut.
