Why Most Digestive Products Are A Scam
Many people have heard taking a probiotic improves your gut microbiome.
But nobody tells you that 99% of these products are a waste of money.
Think of probiotic products such as yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, and of course…actual probiotic supplements!
Well, none of these will fix your gut health because of a few little-known reasons…
1) Dead Bacteria
Probiotics need to actually be ALIVE inside your gut. Yet in most cases, you’re munching on bacterial corpses!
Here’s why…
First, pasteurization (like in yogurt production) kills good bacteria.
If they survive that, some manufacturers skip expensive temperature controlled production…so these bacteria start shriveling up and dying.
Then, the stragglers die in transport or while sitting on a shelf.
By some miracle, if a fraction of probiotics make it inside your body, most weak strains will burn up in your stomach acid.
Bye bye probiotics.
2) Hidden Labeling
Harvard University warned that manufacturers don’t have to report how many probiotics are in some products.
Even then, they may mislabel bottles and report higher probiotics counts than there are.
3) Low CFU Count
Some shady companies might get away with only 1 billion colony-forming units (CFU)…
Yet you’d want at least 5-10 times that amount to actually relieve bloating or boost your metabolism.
4) Worse Results
Probiotics are supposed to improve your gut.
But if you’ve ever tried a probiotic and your stomach is gurgling like an earthquake, the probiotics are actually disrupting your natural diversity and the health of your gut.
In other words, probiotics WORSEN the exact outcomes you want to improve…
Including red, itchy skin, allergies, weight gain, and a disaster in the bathroom.
5) Limited Strains
You can’t rely on just a few random strains.
You need a diversity of effective, proven probiotic strains. That way, you experience a range of benefits.
