Probiotics

Probiotics are living organisms that are important for digestion & overall gut health. These living organisms in our gut not only promote digestion, but also influence our immune system and cognitive function. You can boost the number of probiotics (good bacteria) in your gut by eating healthy foods and supplementing your diet as needed.

Our favorite probiotic supplement @birthco.chiro is Floraboost by Orthomolecular Products because it contains multiple strains of probiotics, includes strains that are the most extensively researched, has no sugar, and comes in powdered form.

Babies get probiotics from the mothers birth canal - so baby's that are born via c-section or even a short vaginal birth can benefit by receiving probiotics directly or through breast milk.
