Trusting My Gut with Genuine Health

You don’t have to be a healthy living guru or Whole Foods frequent shopper to know that gut health is at the forefront of most conversations surrounding wellness these days. Today you can go into your average supermarket and find rows of gut-healing products like kimchi, apple cider vinegar and kombucha. You can get lost in an aisle of probiotics wondering which brand is right for you.

However, this wasn’t always the case. Just a few years ago, bacteria were viewed as something that needed to be avoided – not added into our diets to make us healthier. Yet, as more research was done and as technology advanced, it was learned that everyone lives with their own personal microbiome – a highly diverse ecosystem we co-exist with in and on our bodies. Not to get too technical, but this microbiome is filled with millions and millions of microorganisms that have an affect on our immunity, digestion, mood and overall proper functioning of our body.

 The thing is, we didn’t really know this information and in turn didn’t really take care of our microbiome for so many years. Have you ever taken an antibiotic or used hand sanitizer? These are just two examples of actions that can greatly shift our microbiome and rid our body of a lot of the good bacteria protecting us!

When I started to get more interested in wellness and began reading up on gut health, this information hit pretty close to home for me. I suffered from nasty cases of strep throat as a baby and by the time I was 2 years old, I had already taken at least 6 courses of antibiotics in my short lifetime. Growing up, I was constantly sick. I would have the common cold at least 4 times a year plus flues, mono, Norwalk virus…the list goes on. Basically anything that was out there I would catch. My immune system was so weak.

 

So when I started learning about gut health, I became so intrigued. Could I really heal my gut and in turn, build up my immunity? I started to take probiotics, but the brand, type and strand information always confused me. I never really understood which I should take and why.

Lucky for me, Genuine Health has always been a pioneer of wellness products and they have established themselves as a global leader in fermentation and the microbiome. In a cluttered category, Genuine Health has worked behind the scenes for years, developing a different kind of probiotic. They came up with their Advanced Gut Health Probiotic 50 billon CFU daily care extra strength. It might have a long title but it has an even longer list of benefits.

 These benefits are what make Genuine Health’s probiotic different from so many others. The Advanced Gut Health Probiotic 50 billon CFU daily care extra strength:

• Has 15 strains (the highest strain count) to mimic the human microbiome
• Has a plastic-free capsule that slowly and deliberately releases the strains to where they need to go
• Are completely clean and toxin free
• Are 100% vegan, soy-free, gluten-free and non-GMO
• Can be stored at room temperature so they are perfect for travel!

I have been taking Genuine Health’s Advanced Gut Health Probiotic 50 billon CFU daily care extra strength for over a month and am so glad I have found a probiotic I can trust my gut with. The Advanced Gut Health Probiotic can be found at your local health food, grocery and drug retailers and you can visit www.genuinehealth.com to find a store near you.
