Groundbreaking SBO Probiotics Once Daily Supplements

By Jill Levy

If you’re not already taking a probiotic supplement, or you’re looking for a new brand or type, consider adding a soil-based organism (or SBO) probiotic to your routine. SBOs are available in several different forms, including convenient once daily tablets that couldn’t be easier to add to your morning routine.

Why take a SBO Probiotics Once Daily supplement? For starters, SBO probiotics, such as Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis, help support healthy gut function, including by promoting a healthy balance of gut flora. 

Did you know that about 70 percent of your immune system is housed inside of your gut? This means that SBOs also support digestive health and healthy immune system function simultaneously, aiding in things like healthy elimination and healthy immune defenses.

Another perk of SBO probiotic supplements is that they’re thought to be especially “hardy,” meaning these microbes are capable of actually making it to the parts of your GI tract where they can work their magic.

Why Many People Don't Take Probiotics

The world of probiotic supplements can be a confusing one, considering there are many different strains of probiotic bacteria, as well as multiple ways to consume them.  

A lack of understanding of what probiotics do is one major reason why some people don’t take them regularly. If this applies to you, we’re here to clear things up and explain in simple terms the benefits that different SBO probiotic formulas have to offer. 

If you’re not quite sure why you need a probiotic, here’s the type of general health perks and functions that SBO probiotics can offer:

• Provide beneficial microbes that populate the digestive tract.

• Help to maintain the integrity of the gut lining, a crucial and often underappreciated part of the immune system.

• Support a healthy immune response.

• Help reduce occasional constipation, gas and bloating. 

• Support absorption of essential nutrients in the gut, including zinc, iron and vitamin B12.

• Can help to regulate how you produce neurotransmitters, which impacts your energy, outlook and sleep.

Inconvenience regarding probiotic supplements is another issue that concerns some people. It may not seem clear how and when to take them, such as with or without a meal.

The great thing about SBO probiotics is that they’re super simple to take. Simply take one capsule daily of any of our SBO Probiotics Once Daily formulas along with water or another beverage. We recommend trying to take them on an empty stomach in the morning or about 30 minutes before a meal if possible, which helps your body absorb them best.

Of course, you should always read and follow label directions for use as well as consult your healthcare professional prior to beginning any new dietary or lifestyle regimen, including probiotic usage. 

SBO vs. Regular Probiotics 

Certain types of probiotic supplements stand out when it comes to their quality, resilience and their potential health benefits. What makes SBOs different, and in many cases, better than regular probiotics?

A few attributes of Ancient Nutrition SBO Probiotics that make them valuable and unique include:

• Survivability

• Easy storage (no refrigeration required and shelf-stable)

• Contain live/active organisms that have been fermented 

• Diversity of species

• High CFU (colony forming units) count

• Inclusion of other ingredients such as botanicals for extra support

Ancient Nutrition’s SBO Probiotics are made with microbial strains that occur naturally in the soil. They’re the same types found in fresh veggies and in your garden. These strains are tough, and they survive without refrigeration.  

We even describe SBOs as being “virtually indestructible,” since they’re more likely to thrive in the harsh environment of your gut — unlike other common probiotic strains, which often don’t fully survive at high temperatures. 

Many probiotic strains are fragile and require refrigeration; however, SBOs are resistant to extreme temperatures, as well as the harsh digestive tract. They can make it from your mouth, through your stomach to your lower GI tract to work their benefits.

Our SBO Probiotics formulas also stand out due to inclusion of prebiotics and postbiotics, something we call the “Trifecta Approach.” Prebiotics act as fuel for probiotics, and postbiotics are the metabolites (enzymes and organic acids) that are created by probiotics. Together, these three provide powerful support for digestive and gut health.

Additionally, another differentiator of our SBO Probiotics is they’ve been fermented. Fermentation works to unlock important nutrients and compounds within the ingredients, which helps make it easier for your body to actually absorb and utilize them.
