Foundation supplement product? Make yours a probiotic.

‘Improving’ and ‘maintaining’ overall health are the top reasons for consumers to use supplements, according to new data from the National Institutes of Health.

And surprise, surprise, the majority of supplement users don’t use them as a substitute for healthier lifestyle and diet, but to support both! Supplement users have lower BMIs, drink less alcohol, exercise more regularly and are less likely to smoke than the non-supplement-taking population.  Nor do the supplementers use the products to treat a chronic disease or acute condition, but rather to promote or maintain wellbeing and astoundingly more than 60 percent of Americans fall into this category. That’s no small number, and the rest of the world is fast catching up.

Which raises the question, exactly which supplements should you be taking? If I were asked to single out one I’d say a high potency probiotic tops the list. This recommendation is based on most current research conducted by eminent scientists worldwide! Get your gut health right and other supplements and health-promotion measures will work better!
