Probiotics are good-for-you strains of microorganisms that play an essential role in promoting gut health and the numerous health benefits that come from that.  Everybody has ‘good’ bacteria and ‘bad’ bacteria in their guts – think of probiotics as “good” bacteria that live in your gut that help fight off “bad” bacteria and metabolize vitamins that we otherwise could not break down. 

Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates or dietary fiber that are present in many common foods such as fruits and vegetables – prebiotics act as fuel for probiotics.

Probiotics and prebiotics work in tandem to help promote good gut health: when the probiotics “eat” prebiotics, this contributes to good gut health.

The Secret Nature of Fruit™ Probiotic Fruit Soda is a great way to get good bacteria that helps support your body’s natural immunity and overall health.

There’s a reason why the gut is sometimes called the second brain – more than just digestive health support, gut health impacts immune health, weight and appetite management, brain function & mental health, cardiovascular health and skin health.  That’s why it’s important to take good care of your gut health to support your overall health today and over time.
