The bacteria in your body outnumber your body’s cells 10 to 1. Most of these bacteria reside in your gut, and the majority are quite harmless. Having the right gut bacteria is linked to numerous health benefits. These include:

    • Weight loss
    • Improved digestion
    • Enhanced immune function
    • Healthier skin
    • Better mood

Here’s our simple beginner’s guide to probiotics.
