The GI tract is a finely balanced environment where roughly 500 different strains of bacteria compete for space and nutrients. When there is a healthy balance (eubiosis), there are very few gut symptoms exist. However, dysbiosis can occur when there is an overgrowth of bad bacteria. The balance of good and bad bacteria can be disrupted by stress, medications (such as antibiotics, birth control, etc.), excessive alcohol consumption, or not consuming enough or a variety of plant foods.
The strains of probiotics in The Go To have been extensively studied and have broad GI and immune benefits, including increasing the population of healthy bacteria; supporting great poops; increasing the production of short-chain fatty acids, which are the energy source to the cells of the gut lining; strengthening the gut-immune barrier by promoting a healthy gut mucosa; aiding in the digestion of difficult-to- breakdown compounds like dairy; and enhancing detoxification of harmful compounds.
