Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed consistently, support the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut. They're found in fermented foods and in supplement form, and they've become one of the more widely studied areas of nutrition science over the past few decades. That said, a lot gets lost in translation between the science and the supplement aisle. Strain differences matter. So does consistency. So does everything else happening in the gut at the same time—diet, sleep, stress, and the existing makeup of your microbiome all play a role in how probiotics behave and what effects they produce. Use these resources to get a clearer picture of how probiotics function, their benefits, where they fit within a broader approach to your gut health, and how daily supplementation fits into a Foundational Nutrition approach.
