\n<\/b>Many people associate probiotics with digestive health, but it does more than help with gastrointestinal issues and chronic constipation. In fact, your gut sits at the core of your body and influences everything from metabolic to heart and skin health. While improvements to digestion are often the most immediate and obvious when you take probiotics, they can actually have powerful effects across your entire body, far beyond your digestive tract.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Your favorite kombucha may claim to be probiotic, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily qualify as one \u2013 scientifically, that is. Yes, you might have ingested some bacteria, but do you know which strains? And in what quantities? According to Seed, even though what you’re consuming contains bacteria, that bacteria might not survive the journey through your digestive system, nor has it been studied to actually benefit your body. This is not to say that you shouldn\u2019t eat or drink fermented foods and beverages. Many are extremely nutritious (just watch out for excess sugar!), but the distinction is that they’re not necessarily reliable sources of beneficial, effective bacteria.<\/p>\n
