Many people reach for a probiotic supplement to debloat, support their gut, immune system, and vaginal microbiome (you name it really). Odds are, these capsules often don’t live up to the hype printed on their labels—which is a shame because probiotics can and should improve your health. You just have to pick the right one.*
Here, we break down what you need to know about probiotic supplements, how to discern what’s high-quality, and our top picks for you.
mindbodygreen's advanced probiotic+ with bloat support is formulated for anyone looking to support overall gut health targeting specific facets such as digestion, bloating, gas, regularity, and abdominal comfort.*
Each of the three strains in advanced probiotic+ with bloat support has clinical studies showing that they ease bloat in addition to promoting overall gut health, regularity, and digestive comfort.
For example, B. lactis Bi-07 eases bloating and promotes comfort, B. lactis HN019 supports digestion and regularity (while reducing gas), and L. acidophilus NCFM encourages healthy bowel movements. Reviewers note less gas and bloating when taking this probiotic—more than other probiotics they've tried previously.
