What it is
Probiotics are live bacterial cultures, which are tiny living organisms, that are added to supplements to support the microbiome. The microbiome is the community of trillions of bacteria and other microbes that live inside your digestive tract.
Why it's used
These supplements are used to help balance the bacteria in the gut, which can be disrupted by illness or medication. By introducing beneficial strains of bacteria, they aim to improve digestion and support the overall health of the intestinal lining.
How it compares to Gut Health
While probiotics are a specific type of supplement containing live bacteria, Gut Health is a much broader category that includes many different types of ingredients.

How it's made
To make these supplements, specific strains of bacteria are grown in large industrial tanks filled with a nutrient-rich liquid called a broth. Once the bacteria have multiplied, they are separated from the liquid and dried using a process called freeze-drying, which removes water while keeping the bacteria alive. These dried bacteria are then put into capsules or mixed into powders.
What it typically costs
These products generally fall into a mid-range price category. This is because the manufacturing process is complex, as companies must use specialized cold-chain shipping and stable packaging to ensure the live bacteria do not die before they reach the consumer.
