Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic (Formerly GutPro® Powder)

Product Information

You may be surprised to learn that in many cases what's needed is more acid and more digestive secretions to help digest the food.* Who Sensitive Probiotic powder is for: Because this formula contains only pure probiotics for sensitive stomachs, it’s ideal for people who are taking the first steps in their health journeys or digging into dietary protocols, such as: GAPS, SIBO, Paleo, AIP, Ketogenic, Gluten-free, soy-free and casein-free. How to take: Use your dosage spoon to accurately measure your desired dose of probiotic powder. Sprinkle on lukewarm or cold food, mix it in a smoothie or take it with an organic fat, like butter, ghee, emu oil or coconut oil. See dosage instructions above for more info. Formerly GutPro, a 100% pure probiotic powder. Designed to be gentle on sensitive stomachs, yet effective and potent. This premium and gentle formula combines eight scientifically-verified strains of beneficial bacteria, each playing a crucial role in promoting a balanced and healthy gut.

Bifidobacterium bifidum: Bifidobacteria are a group of bacteria that typically live in the human intestines and stomach, that help to perform essential functions like digestion and the maintenance of beneficial bacteria. One study suggests that B. bifidum may support immunity by staving off colds and touches of the flu in the winter months. Another clinical study indicates B. bifidum may help with abdominal discomfort caused by gas and bloating. And yet another study states that B. bifidum can help with occasional diarrhea. Clinical research suggests that B. bifidum can help maintain comfortable joint movement by helping manage inflammation.There’s also a correlation to improved mental health (supporting mood and easing anxiety), as bifidobacterium is classified as a “psychobiotic”, which affects central nervous system-related functions and behaviors mediated by the gut-brain-axis. How to take: You can take your saccharomyces probiotic along with your antibiotics, as guided by your healthcare practitioner. We recommend taking it a couple of hours apart from your antibiotic dose. If you've finished a round of antibiotics and seek support, you can follow-up with Yeastbiotic. Antacids and proton pump inhibitors are responsible for many people's problems with hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid). A sharp memory, steady concentration and an overall positive feeling: Research reveals these friendly organisms help the body produce neurotransmitters that shape the way the brain grows and functions — to boost mood and ease mild anxiety.

What does our Sensitive Probiotic do?

Even more, it contains a critical digestive substance you won't find combined with pepsin in most other digestive supplements: hydrochloric acid (HCl). A strong and well-regulated immune system: Probiotics have been shown in hundreds of studies to both support a vigilant immune system and help regulate immune response. The strains in the Smidge Optimal Probiotic capsules are sourced U.S., as is the production of the final product.

Bifidobacteria breve – A strain of Bifidobacteria found in the colonic and vaginal flora of humans. Cases of people with IBS have been shown to have a shortage of this important probiotic. In breastfed infants, breve has been shown to make up a majority of their gut bacteria. Breve ferments oligosaccharides in the digestive tract and also helps produce L-lactate. 4 5 6 Start low and slow: Smidge™ supplements are premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it's critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a minimal dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what feels right for you.Plus, like all of our probiotic formulas, it’s cGMP certified to ensure product stability and purity. And the hardy strains are resistant to low Ph conditions in the tummy, meaning they’re genetically characterized to pass through your gut safely and can withstand stomach acid and bile, so they can do their essential job. Pepsin and protease peptidase complex (with exopeptidase and DPP-IV enzymes) also support optimal protein digestion, as well as casein and gluten digestion.* It helps trigger critical digestive activities like releasing pancreatic enzymes and bile to break down food into smaller particles, which are more easily converted and assimilated into useful nutrients in your intestines. Always start with a smidge! Take 1 capsule twice daily with food until the bottle is finished (See “low and slow” note below), or as directed by a certified healthcare practitioner. May be taken before, during or immediately following a course of antibiotics under the advice of your doctor.* This is not intended to be a maintenance probiotic. Smidge Optimal Probiotic Capsules delivers 13-strains of high potency, human-compatible species to create and sustain a healthy gut microbiome. This can help with regularity and trouble-free digestion. Optimal Probiotic is also one of the few probiotics that can reduce harmful levels of histamine and d-lactate production, to feed and nourish your internal eco-system.

Supporting the microvilli in the production and synthesis of vitamins, especially B vitamins that include folate, biotin, thiamine, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, riboflavin and B12.* If you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating, please consult your medical practitioner first Smidge® Optimal Probiotic is a gentle, thoughtfully formulated probiotic that’s appropriate for various ages and stages, whether you’ve taken probiotics in the past or are new to this integral part of your wellness regimen: The modern diet is nothing like the food our ancestors ate, due to the way our food is grown and processed.

They can help to digest food and absorb nutrients, and keep harmful microorganisms under control. For sensitive adults and children: A smaller dose may be obtained by pulling apart the capsule and taking a portion of the contents. HCl promotes the production of stomach acid your body is craving (The stomach is all about acid! It's designed for a normal pH of 0.8, which is almost pure acid)*.
