Katie: Howdy, and welcome to the Wellness Mama Podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com and wellnesse.com, that’s wellness with an E on the tip. And I’m right here with a pricey private good friend and somebody whose work I deeply admire, that’s Tina Anderson of Simply Thrive probiotics, and he or she’s fascinating. She started her profession as a trial lawyer who specialised in settling instances by bringing each side collectively, which is a private ardour of hers. And after her second little one, she left her high-stress work behind to concentrate on household. And now, after her personal well being journey and lots of analysis within the discipline of pure well being, she discovered her life’s work, which is illness prevention and well being upkeep. And he or she’s the founding father of Simply Thrive alongside together with her husband, and I’ve been utilizing and speaking about their merchandise for years.
I used to be excited to have her on right now to speak about psychobiotics, which is a brand new time period that’s actually, actually fascinating. And I’ve been doing a little analysis right here as effectively. We go deep on this and particularly the gut-brain connection, how the gut-brain axis is so vital, how psychobiotics can affect psychological well being and resilience, how mind irritation is usually a supply of lots of stress and different points that we’ve got, and so many different areas. She’s very well-spoken on this. I discovered lots. Psychobiotics is a brand new time period for me. I feel you’ll study lots, too, so let’s be part of Tina. Tina, welcome again.
Tina: Thanks, Katie. I’m so excited to be again.
Katie: Properly, I all the time love speaking to you, and it’s particularly enjoyable once we get to report it, and we’re gonna get to go deep on some actually enjoyable matters right now. However earlier than we do, to assist individuals get to know you a bit of bit higher, I’ve a notice in my present notes that I’ve witnessed firsthand, which is that you simply love to bounce, particularly on elevated surfaces and particularly with a tambourine in hand. So in the event you don’t thoughts, simply give us a bit of bit overview as a result of I do know there’s some cool like tradition dancing that comes out of your background, and it’s so enjoyable.
Tina: Sure. Sure. Oh, my gosh. You may have witnessed that, haven’t you? Embarrassed to confess, however yeah.. You already know what? I really like music. I really like listening to music. And I’m Serbian, and Serbian music is one thing that’s tremendous vital to me and I find it irresistible. It touches my soul and for no matter cause, one thing simply brings me to, like, tables, and I begin dancing on tables, or chairs, or no matter it is perhaps that’s elevated. That’s not essentially tied to being Serbian, nevertheless it’s simply one thing that I do. And I chortle as a result of one in all my daughters has adopted swimsuit, and we supply that trait collectively. So, it’s enjoyable.
Katie: I find it irresistible. Yearly I do a factor that will get me out of my consolation zone, which up to now has led to voice classes and standup comedy, and this 12 months, it’s dancing. So perhaps this 12 months I’ll be becoming a member of you within the dancing battle. We’ll see.
Tina: Sure. I’d love that.
Katie: Properly, for the majority of what we wished to speak about right now, you guys have so many merchandise, and everyone listening has most likely already heard me rave about them as a result of they’re staples in my life and in my youngsters’ lives. And there’s a brand new one which I’m excited to study extra about from you right now, and I feel it is a actually vital subject that we’re not speaking that a lot about. So, I do know that there’s a brand new temper and mind product that you simply guys have developed, and this has been a spotlight for you for some time. So I’d love to simply get some broad overview of a bit of bit about it and why this was an vital focus for you guys.
Tina: Yeah. Properly, you understand, one of many large core values that we’ve got is that we solely launch merchandise which can be lacking and wanted out there. I imply, that’s once we launched the, you understand, spore-based probiotic, we have been the primary. We have been simply disruptors within the probiotic area, and we didn’t wanna simply launch any probiotic as a result of there have been so many. We actually wanna discover issues which can be lacking and really wanted out there. And given the truth that temper issues are off the charts proper now, particularly, you understand, even earlier than 2020, earlier than the pandemic, they have been already off the charts. Individuals had been skilled a lot stress, notably over the past two years. We now have seen temper issues, nervousness issues at an all-time excessive. There’s one research that confirmed that 8 out of 10 U.S. adults really feel a lot stress that it’s really affecting their bodily wellbeing.
So, we’ve actually delved into lots of the analysis on temper and what can we do to really get to the basis reason for it. And lots of researchers from a number of the largest establishments are actually beginning to try that gut-brain connection. And I feel the explanation for that’s that if you have a look at psychiatric care, it actually hasn’t modified over the past, you understand, most likely 60 years. The identical class of medicine have been used, that are the anti-anxiety meds, the SSRIs which can be used for melancholy. So, primarily, the identical class of medicine have been used for many years with minimal success. And, you understand, psychiatrists have had their arms tied as a result of they don’t actually have many instruments. However because it seems as we… It all the time appears to prove the pure world has all these methods to handle the problem and to get to the basis reason for it.
And since the basis reason for mind and psychological well being points aren’t essentially stemming from the mind, they’re really stemming from the intestine, and that’s why it’s so highly effective. You already know, we’ve heard individuals say, you understand, the intestine is the second mind. Properly, actually, what lots of researchers are actually saying is that the intestine is the primary mind as a result of the intestine is de facto dictating a lot of what’s happening within the mind. One space of cognitive operate that many medical consultants have been talking on and researching is that this unimaginable connection between the intestine and the mind. So, it’s actually been an space that we’ve got centered on and are excited to, you understand, deliver a number of the analysis behind it to our prospects and to deliver options to them.
Katie: And I feel that’s an vital level. And as a caveat, I do know you are feeling the identical method, however I feel docs go into medication with a real need to assist individuals. Each physician I’ve met has been…had that true coronary heart to assist individuals. And I really feel like lots of them really feel as handcuffed by the system as lots of people do as sufferers. And I’ve heard even docs say, you understand, individuals don’t have these points due to an SSRI deficiency. It is perhaps a Band-Support, nevertheless it’s not wanting on the root trigger, to your level. And I feel that’s the place the very best outcomes are once we can mix the 2. And definitely, there are occasions when individuals do want conventional medical care. I’m an enormous proponent of remedy and different strategies there as effectively, however I feel the intestine is just not talked about sufficient relating to psychological well being. And I’m so excited that you simply guys are getting into this dialog and actually educating about it. Are you able to clarify extra in regards to the gut-brain entry for individuals who aren’t conversant in that time period and what it does?
Tina: Yeah. Completely. You already know, the gut-brain entry, you understand, it principally is the intestine and the mind are linked via the vagus nerve. So, the gut-brain entry refers to this bidirectional communication between the intestine and the mind. And so, the enteric nervous system is that this neurological system that wraps across the whole digestive tract. And, in fact, the microbes in our intestine have full entry to this enteric nervous system, and thru the enteric nervous system and thru circulation of the microbes within the intestine, there’s a lot of ways in which these microbes are affecting the mind. After which, one of many first methods is thru this endocrine system. So, the cells throughout the intestine lining may be triggered by the microbes to supply compounds like 5-HTP and different precursors to hormones. And we all know that the intestine produces neurotransmitters like serotonin. In truth, 90% to 95% of our serotonin is produced in our intestine. Dopamine is produced within the intestine, GABA’s produced in our intestine.
After which, we’ve got postbiotics that are made by the micro organism within the intestine. So short-chain fatty acids and hormone precursors are all made by the intestine micro organism, after which these postbiotics can influence the mind. So, once more, it’s simply this communication between the intestine and mind is bidirectional. That is very effectively documented. You already know, now researchers are very a lot beginning to perceive this, and alerts go down from the mind, go right down to the intestine, and from the intestine, go as much as the mind. So it’s fairly fascinating, and now we all know that even way of life selections like weight-reduction plan and way of life, you understand, the stress and the temper that we expertise actually have an effect on our intestine, after which, in fact, what’s happening in our intestine is affecting our mind.
Katie: And I positively have witnessed that firsthand in my life when up to now I’ve had intestine points and realizing, like, the mind fog and, like, the cloudiness that comes from that, after which conversely, I’ve seen if you work on that and actually help your intestine, the readability, and focus, and vitality that come alongside from that. And I really like that you simply introduced out the time period postbiotics as a result of I really feel like this is perhaps a brand new phrase for lots of people. We’ve all heard about probiotics and lots of us have heard about prebiotics, and also you guys have nice merchandise for each of these. I really feel just like the time period postbiotics is a considerably of a brand new idea, nevertheless it actually helps to, like, tie that every one in of the way it’s not a one-way road in any respect, such as you stated, and the way they each help one another and the way that sort of is a circle that may be in a constructive course, or in the event you’re not supporting them, it could possibly sort of go in a destructive course. Are you able to discuss a bit of bit extra about postbiotics and the way that course of works?
Tina: Yeah. So, principally, postbiotics are simply byproducts of the micro organism in our intestine. And one of many foremost ones that we consider are short-chain fatty acids. And so, lots of just like the butyrate, all of a majority of these short-chain fatty acids which can be produced by the micro organism in your intestine are thought-about postbiotics. And like I discussed, just like the precursors to hormones are additionally thought-about postbiotics, and so they, principally, are simply the byproducts of the micro organism in our intestine. And that’s why it’s so critically vital that we’ve got wholesome micro organism that’s already in our intestine as a result of they’re producing…they’re byproducts of that micro organism and can have an effect on our mind and different organs. And, you understand, we talked about… We all know that the mind impacts the intestine, however…I imply the intestine impacts the mind, however the intestine is affecting just about each facet of our general well being. And I can’t overstate that sufficient. So, it’s actually vital that we’re taking good care of our intestine as a result of the micro organism is producing postbiotics, it’s additionally affecting how our different organs are functioning.
Katie: Completely. And the way every little thing appears to tie in there even like I’ve talked lots in regards to the emotional psychological aspect of well being just lately, and there’s so many cool research about how, like if you’re in a continuing state of stress or struggle or flight, that really is affecting your intestine micro organism straight after which that has rollover penalties into your complete physique. And I’ve additionally heard you discuss in regards to the time period psychobiotic, and that was a brand new one for me. So, are you able to clarify what meaning?
Tina: Yeah. Truly, the time period psychobiotic has been…it’s sort of new for everyone as a result of it was coined in about 2013 by two psychiatrists and so they principally… What psychobiotic refers to is the pleasant micro organism that play a task within the gut-brain entry and that influences the well being and exercise of your mind. So, it’s principally the probiotic strains that assist enhance temper and cognitive operate. So it’s… And this, our new product, is taken into account a psychobiotic, which is de facto thrilling. And, you understand, to go even again up a bit of bit, the most important offenders to and the basis reason for all psychological well being points is principally that mind irritation. So mind irritation we now know causes this cognitive operate, issues like nervousness, melancholy, cognitive decline, all of those psychological issues, and psychological well being issues are all brought on by irritation within the mind. And so, we all know that the 2 largest offenders to mind irritation are LPS toxins, which I’ve talked about earlier than on podcasts with you, however principally LPS toxins are lipopolysaccharides that are usually present in our intestine micro organism in our intestine, however they aren’t problematic. They’re probably not problematic once they’re in our intestine. They grow to be problematic once they seep into our bloodstream.
After which, the opposite offender is stress-induced basal irritation, which principally are these exterior stresses that we take care of day in and time out just like the worry, the social isolation, trauma, site visitors, you understand, preventing, you understand, all these varieties of issues that we’re coping with frequently. So, the 2 varieties of offenders to this mind irritation are the LPS toxins that seep into our bloodstream and this stress-induced basal irritation. So, the excellent news is that, you understand, the… The dangerous information… Let me go along with the dangerous information first. The LPS that leaks into our bloodstream could be very problematic. And we all know from the research, we did a double-blind human scientific trial on leaky intestine and confirmed that, you understand, 55% of younger wholesome faculty college students had a leaky intestine and didn’t understand it. So, they estimate that most individuals are having that LPS seep into their bloodstream frequently. They estimate that about 80% of the grownup inhabitants has a leaky intestine and doesn’t even understand it. And so, this LPS results in power low-grade irritation and is affecting all of our organs, not simply our mind, however we do know that, you understand, LPS is related to larger ranges of tension, age-related issues. So, there was a research that got here out, I feel in 2017, that microbiome-derived LPS has been proven to be larger in individuals with Alzheimer’s.
So, you understand, this LPS is a large indication of Alzheimer’s illness. In fact, that’s an inflammatory illness, after which identical with Parkinson’s illness. So, you understand, the sort of dysfunction that causes nervousness and melancholy is similar, and it’s all pushed by LPS toxins within the bloodstream. So, as an organization, that was one in all our foremost targets, is to guard that intestine lining, and that’s why we launched Simply Thrive spore-based probiotic. Simply by taking the spores alone, we noticed a 60% discount of LPS toxins that leaked into circulation. So if you scale back that LPS from going into your bloodstream, the entire inflammatory markers come down. I imply, it was unimaginable what that research confirmed us. So in the event you’re taking the probiotic alone, you’re midway there. You already know, we already know that the probiotic alone is that primary a part of mind well being and cognitive operate as a result of we’ve got to cease the LPS from seeping into the bloodstream as a result of these LPS toxins are going as much as the mind and inflicting irritation.
After which, in fact, the opposite a part of that’s that stress-induced basal irritation that I discussed that’s principally the exterior stresses that we’re coping with every day. And so, once we get an exterior stress, these exterior stresses instantly set off a response to the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands, after which that activates the adrenal gland that then releases cortisol. And we all know that cortisol begins growing irritation within the physique and it’s, you understand, very, very dangerous. I’m positive you’ve talked about cortisol plenty of instances, nevertheless it’s very dangerous, particularly to our mind as a result of it causes that irritation. So, you understand, the place we got here in is how do… We already understand how we’re lowering that LPS toxins. We already know we’re eliminating nearly all of the LPS toxins seeping into the bloodstream by sealing up that intestine lining. However then the query grew to become, how can we arrest these exterior stresses?
And the good information and the place lots of our analysis has been specializing in is there’s a compound known as peptidoglycan, and it’s been proven this means to arrest these exterior stresses. And the fascinating factor is that peptidoglycans is handed from mom to little one whereas the kid is in utero. And I all the time am stressing about that. I’m all the time attempting to inform mothers who’re pregnant to be taking good care of their intestine as a result of all of those intestine micro organism and the great ones are being handed onto the kid.
So these peptidoglycans are known as an exopolysaccharide, and that’s vital as a result of this exopolysaccharide really has a layer round it and that layer is what makes it extra resistant and resilient so it may survive via the gastric system. You already know, we talked lots in regards to the spore-based probiotics. They’ve that means, they’ve endospore shell round themselves and that permits them to get via to the, you understand, gastric system and to the…or get via the gastric system to the gut. And that’s what’s so distinctive in regards to the exopolysaccharides, is that they have that means to get via the gastric system. And so, bifidobacterium longum is a peptidoglycan, and so it’s this exopolysaccharide. And so, when it will get into the big gut, it really has the flexibility to mediate the inflammatory response by the heart. And this bifidobacterium longum 1714 is the pressure that’s utilized in our new product, Simply Calm. And it continues to be consistent with our different merchandise that we’ve launched, you understand, and that it’s effectively researched, backed by science, it’s lacking and wanted out there, and it’s thought-about a psychobiotic by all definitions. So it’s actually, actually thrilling.
Katie: And I feel that’s an vital level that it’s synergistic with the spore-based probiotic as effectively as a result of then you definitely’re like sealing and also you’re additionally then supporting the mind aspect. And I do know we’ve had a complete dialog about this up to now. I’ll make it possible for’s linked within the present notes, however are you able to give us only a transient overview? You talked about it a bit of little bit of what separates spore-based probiotics from lots of the opposite ones we see on cabinets as a result of this was new for me. I used to assume years in the past like, “Oh, you want refrigerated probiotics in order that they’re nonetheless alive” and all these items, and also you helped me actually like perceive the distinction in what’s occurring in digestion if you’re speaking about these specifics spore-based probiotics.
Tina: Yeah. So the most important distinction with spore-based probiotics is their means to outlive the gastric system and arrive alive within the intestines. Nearly all of probiotics simply are delicate organisms. They aren’t capable of make that journey from the mouth via the digestive tract and into the intestines alive. Not solely does the physique temperature usually kill them, however the gastric system, the abdomen, could be very acidic. It’s meant to be a gastric barrier. And so, we all know that the spore-based probiotics has this endospore shell round itself and that permits it to reach of alive within the intestines. After which when it will get to the intestines, it really has the flexibility to remain there for about 21 to twenty-eight days, and it’s actually within the microbial surroundings. So it’s doing one thing totally different in your intestine than my intestine. And so, it’s actually unimaginable.
And like I stated, we’ve achieved many, many research on these strains, and one of the profound research we did was on leaky intestine or metabolic endotoxemia. And what that research confirmed is that after taking these strains for about 30 days, it lowered the LPS toxins seeping into the bloodstream by about 60%. And this was with no different dietary or way of life modifications. It was, you understand, given to in any other case wholesome faculty college students, which everyone knows what faculty college students do to their our bodies. So it’s actually an unimaginable… It’s so foundational to our well being as a result of if you’re sealing up that intestine lining and also you’re not permitting, you understand, these toxins to seep into your bloodstream, it isn’t creating that inflammatory response. So it’s a very totally different class, very effectively researched, and has been so life-changing for thus lots of our prospects. It’s been actually thrilling.
Katie: Yeah. I’ve positively… It’s the primary probiotic, and I’ve talked about this lots, that I’ve ever felt the distinction from, and that now’s a staple in our home together with just about your whole merchandise at this level, even for pets. However I’d like to go a bit of deeper on the Simply Calm and this particular pressure as a result of I feel that is gonna be a complete new space of intestine well being that we’re simply beginning to perceive and I feel you guys are actually main the cost right here. And I additionally know from listening to from the viewers, girls, particularly proper now, are battling nervousness and overwhelm and lots of these items that we’re speaking about. So, stroll us via a bit of little bit of like what’s occurring particularly within the intestine. And that’s so cool too that you simply talked about that that is one in all… Like principally what’s handed on from mom to little one, which we now know from analysis, many people might not have gotten an optimum begin with, relying on how we have been born, identical factor with our children, relying on the start situation. I’ve been at lots of births and issues like antibiotics can interrupt that course of, C-Sections can interrupt that course of, and there’s methods to assist mitigate these conditions as effectively. However for these of us who’re already born, these are some ways in which we will help rehabilitate.
Tina: Proper. Precisely. Yeah. So this specific pressure, it’s bifido longum 1714. It’s so extensively researched and scientifically verified as a temper help product. It’s very new out there. We’re so enthusiastic about it. It’s new out there, nevertheless it’s really a standard a part of our intestine commensal flora. It’s remoted from wholesome people. So this is part of our regular intestine flora. And one of many research on this bifido longum 1714 was carried out by APC Institute out of Cork, Eire, and it’s one of the preeminent gut-brain institutes on the planet. And so they checked out samples of individuals with temper issues like nervousness and melancholy versus individuals who don’t have these temper issues, and what they discovered is that folks with no temper issues had excessive ranges of this bifido longum 1714 pressure.
So, you understand, there was a four-week human scientific trial that confirmed that this pressure lowered perceived stress, it improved reminiscence, it lowered psychological fatigue, it positively supported brainwave exercise, which is de facto thrilling, and improved the flexibility to deal with that occasional stress. So, you understand, who wouldn’t need that nowadays? And one of many questions that one of many human scientific trials wished to find out is how does the 1714 pressure really translate as a psychobiotic into the modulation of stress operate and the brainwave operate? So, they principally wished to know, can this pressure within the face of induced stress modulate cortisol and an individual’s perceived stress response and coronary heart fee? And normally, what they noticed is that this 1714 pressure lowered perceived stress and cortisol output, which is big. They know that this pressure is arresting that inflammatory biking, after which ultimately the HPA entry triggering slows down after which ultimately shuts down, after which much less and fewer cortisol and stress hormones are produced.
After which a lot of research really have been achieved… These are human scientific trials that have been carried out on day-to-day stress in addition to giant stressors that influence brainwave functioning, which is de facto thrilling. We all know that having excessive ranges of the delta and beta wave ranges is related to a heightened stress state. And so this research confirmed a major lower in beta wave operate. And that is what’s thrilling, and a rise in theta wave operate. And, in fact, we all know theta wave is related to that circulate state. You already know, if you discuss being actually calm, having actually good cognitive operate and, you understand, not getting distracted simply. In order that’s known as the circulate state, and it’s measured by this improve in theta wave operate within the mind. And the research confirmed that this probiotic pressure can really alter mind wave operate. It additionally confirmed it may scale back psychological fatigue as a result of your mind is just not as infected if you’re in a greater frame of mind. And it additionally confirmed that this pressure improves coping mechanism and scale back the destructive feelings that usually come from stress. So the research are so intensive on the pressure, and it’s so thrilling to have the ability to deliver one thing so new and so highly effective to the market.
Katie: And I feel that resilience piece is de facto key as effectively as a result of we’re clearly all gonna encounter stress that’s not going away nor ought to it. There’s really a wholesome place for sure quantities of stress, however I really feel like that resilience can typically be the distinction, particularly as a mother for the times the place I get a ton achieved and I nonetheless should take care of lots, however I’m not overwhelmed and I really feel like I’m productive and on high of it, versus the times the place simply each little factor appears to simply amp up that overwhelm. And there’s been some wonderful books written about resilience and, in fact, like methods we will use on a logistical degree in our homes, however I feel addressing the bodily aspect is de facto vital and there haven’t been nice sources for that previously. It was sort of such as you sort of simply needed to attempt issues and take a look at to determine what labored. And definitely, we all know issues like a nutritious diet and lowering inflammatory inputs makes an enormous distinction, however such as you stated, for these of us who perhaps have already got had intestine irritation or mind irritation, taking one thing focused like this actually is a leg-up to coping with that and to feeling extra resilient which then lets you may have the vitality and the motivation to do all the opposite issues that assist as effectively.
Tina: Proper. Completely. And we’ve got to recollect, like attending to the basis reason for all of this. There’s lots of merchandise on the market which can be getting, you understand, placing a Band-Support on and serving to individuals make, you understand, making them really feel higher, however attending to the basis reason for this irritation and this response is de facto vital. And we’ve got to grasp that what’s inflicting all of that is irritation. And so, we’ve got to watch out with that, you understand, pay attention to that and be conscious of that.
And so, yeah, then we determined to launch Simply Calm, which is de facto thrilling, and it’s actually thrilling. This was such an vital product for us that we determined to really launch it beneath a brand new sub-brand known as Joot, J-O-O-T, which is sort of thrilling. So we love the OO which really, you understand, it comes from the, you understand, 007 James Bond and, you understand, the double O is related to being superior, and boosted, and up-leveled. So you understand, we even… Lots of people will say that OO is even fortunate. You already know, lots of good model, large iconic manufacturers on the market like Yahoo, and Google, and Zoom all have the double O’s. And so we took the J from Simply, and the T from Thrive after which we added the double O’s. And so the product is Simply Calm by Joot and it’s a Simply Thrive model. So we determined to do a complete model enlargement due to this product as a result of we all know it’s so critically vital for thus many individuals on the market proper now, particularly with the uncertainty of the world and the stress that we’re dealing every day.
Katie: And I really feel like from the analysis I’ve seen, growing intestine issues within the intestine is sort of a long-term factor that occurred via the course of a lifetime typically. Though, typically we will, via start, enter with a lower than optimum microbiome. When individuals begin rehabilitating their intestine with issues like this, how lengthy sometimes is it earlier than they see outcomes or how fast does that course of occur when you’re actually centered on it?
Tina: Yeah. So with the probiotic, we all the time say that, you understand, it takes… Relying on what you’re experiencing or what you’re attempting to get at from the product, you normally say about 30 days. You already know, generally individuals will see outcomes inside a pair days and a few individuals will take three months to see a outcome. However for essentially the most half, I’d say on common, you’re a few 30-day the place you begin to actually see some adjustments and the intestine is… We all know we did a research on the probiotic alone displaying that it confirmed a 30% favorable shift within the intestine after about two and a half weeks, which is big. I imply, you don’t discover any probiotic on the market that has that sort of… I’ve by no means seen a research like that, exhibits a 30% favorable shift within the intestine simply after two and a half weeks. After which, with the Simply Calm with the 1714 and the B pressure product that we simply launched, that may be, you understand, identical factor most likely about 30 days to 60 days. The research that was achieved on the 1714 pressure was over a 30-day interval.
Katie: And I do know we’ll get these questions as a result of I do… Anytime we discuss a complement, which is who can take it and who can’t? Can youngsters take it? Can pregnant girls take it? Any cautions round any of that?
Tina: Yeah. However there’s no different indications that… Keep in mind, it is a regular a part of our intestine flora. So we’re meant to have this pressure in our physique. We all the time inform individuals, in fact, in the event that they’re pregnant and so they’re nursing, to test together with your docs, however nice for teenagers, youngsters want this, particularly on this, oh, my gosh, what they’re coping with now, it breaks my coronary heart. And simply to… No issues with youngsters, no contraindications that we’re conscious of presently.
Katie: And like your different merchandise, one factor I really like about your probiotics particularly is their warmth steady. They don’t should be refrigerated, but additionally they are often put into meals or smoothies as a result of I’ve a pair that don’t swallow drugs but. Is it the identical with these? Can I add it to stuff?
