Looking to help regulate and boost my immune system with a probiotic supplement. There are so many at so many different price points- it's hard to navigate the noise.
Anyone have any recs?
Thanks
Yeah, I take a probiotic for my ulcerative colitis
… that has done wonders for my stomach health how I feel all day and my energy level.
It seems complicated but it literally takes about 2 1/2 minutes to make every morning.
Half a mug of water goes in the microwave for one minute.
I cut a couple of thin slices of ginger root and put it in the water before I heat it.
After it comes out I add a teaspoon of honey, A tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar with the mother , a couple of shakes of cinnamon, some cayenne pepper, some turmeric and a squeeze of lemon.
It’s like making your bed, you’ve accomplished something first thing in the morning and it’s going to affect you in a positive way all day long.

I introduced a family member to it this summer. They had been fighting an unsuccessful battle with acid reflux and were open to trying it. A month later they confirmed the symptoms had passed and their overall health had improved.

There's nothing to Kefir - ( New Window )
I do this as well for similar reasons. I basically replaced milk/water with Kefir in my morning protein shake. I wouldn't market it as a miracle cure but my acid reflux and overall digestive health have significantly improved. I have also replaced seltzer or water with Kombucha with one of my meals.
A probiotic supplement is better than nothing but it's always better to look to get what you need from natural sources vs a supplement. I feel many of those have dead probiotic bacteria that you just pass. Make it a priority to eat more fermented foods and get a daily intake of yogurt/kefir, kombucha, apple cider w/mother or some sort of probiotic drink.

I ended up trying Garden of Life Primal Defense. I'll report back. The others recommended are on my list as well.
