Probiotics are increasingly popular, popping up in everything from sparkling beverages to skincare products and, of course, supplements. But what exactly are these beneficial microorganisms, and how do you choose the right one to support your health? At HUM, we offer a variety of supplements tailored to your unique wellness goals. This guide will explore what probiotics are, their benefits, and how to select the best probiotic for women from HUM.
What Are Probiotics?
Bacteria often get a bad rap, but our bodies are actually home to trillions of microorganisms that are essential for our health. Probiotics are live microorganisms found in our bodies, mainly in the gut but also in areas like the vaginal and skin microbiome. These friendly microbes help keep our digestive system balanced and support overall health. However, when the balance of these microorganisms is disrupted, it can lead to digestive issues, skin problems, or vaginal discomfort, making a targeted probiotic for women essential.
Benefits of Probiotics for Women
These positive bacteria offer benefits beyond just aiding digestion with different strains of bacteria supporting various wellness goals. Research indicates they may support:
- Digestive Health: A diverse gut microbiota, including Bacillus Coagulans Unique IS2 (found in Pro ACV Gummies), may help maintain regular bowel movements and be supportive in relieving digestive discomfort making it an important consideration when choosing a probiotic for women.
- Immune Function: A diverse gut microbiome supports a strong immune system, with specific strains like Streptococcus thermophilous, found in Gut Instinct, particularly supportive.
- Mood Support: Certain strains like Lactobacillus plantarum (DR7) (found in Fan Club) support the gut-brain axis, which can help balance mood and support stress through healthy cortisol levels.
- Skin Health: The gut and skin communicate via the gut-brain axis, demonstrating the influence of our gut microbiome on skin health. Skin Squad was developed with specific strains to support this relationship.
- Vaginal Health: The vaginal microbiome looks very different than the gut microbiome, with Lactobacillus being the star of the show. Lactobacillus acidophilus, rhamnosus, and reuteri found in Private Party help keep the vaginal microbiome balanced and acidic (the way we want it!), an important factor when selecting a vaginal probiotic for women.
Probiotics Through Food vs. Supplements
Food Sources
Foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi are rich in strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. As a Registered Dietitian, these foods are encouraged to consume to boost the diversity of the gut and support a healthy gut microbiome. However, knowing exactly how many specific strains and microorganisms you’re getting can be difficult.
Supplements
Probiotic Supplements offer targeted support with specific strains at known concentrations. This can be particularly useful if you have specific health goals, making them an excellent choice when choosing a probiotic for women.
While a balanced diet can support the gut microbiome, supplements ensure you get a range of beneficial microorganisms in precise amounts tailored to your wellness needs.
