Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic (Formerly GutPro® Powder)

Product Information

And, our probiotic for sensitive stomachs is made for your comfort. We carefully calibrate the probiotic strains to ease digestion, promote regularity and minimize potential side effects.* That means omitting certain strains found in commercial brands that can cause histamine intolerance, acidosis and other reactions. Bifidobacterium longum: One of the first bacteria to colonize our bodies at birth, B. longum has been associated with helping to digest milk and other challenging foods, as it produces lactic acid from the fermentation of sugar in the gut. Research suggests that B. longum may support immunity and growth in children. It’s also linked to helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within a normal range. And it’s been studied to help alleviate stress. Each capsule contains pure S. boulardii, which is well-known for balancing candida issues. (Some supplement manufacturers substitute brewer's or baker's yeast for S. boulardii. Not Smidge®!)

The right blend of beneficial bacteria — in the form of probiotic-rich foods and the easy-to-assimilate supplements — is the life force inside you. And your gut flora is responsible for how you respond to most everything you encounter on your health journey.

Dosage

Smidge™ omitted certain strains found in commercial probiotics that can cause histamine intolerance, d-lactic acidosis and other potential reactions.

Smidge recommends taking this probiotic with a meal or directly before the meal (around the same time daily). It’s beneficial if the meal also contains some natural, organic fat or oil.Smidge® Optimal Probiotic capsules are ideal if you've used probiotics in the past and are at a more advanced stage of digestive healing — and want to keep maintaining a healthy gut.* You may have experienced some benefits of probiotic supplements but want more, or wanting more than your current probiotic is delivering. If you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating, please consult your medical practitioner first. 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.* This is where a clean digestive enzyme with a gentle dose of HCl (hydrochloric acid) and pepsin can help you eat up comfortably. Always start with a smidge! Then take one capsule daily with food. Then take two capsules together, or as directed by a certified healthcare practitioner. (See "low and slow" note below.) Smidge® HCl + Enzymes contains (hydrochloric acid), an important ingredient for people with low stomach acid production.
