Bacillus coagulans is an incredibly resilient SBO probiotic strain that is actually activated in the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach. It helps support gut function and reduces occasional gas, bloating and constipation, as well as helps maintain healthy gut microflora, healthy bowel transit time† and more. 

Bacillus subtilis is naturally found in the environment and plants. It’s a tough strain that helps support a healthy immune system and inflammation response.† 

Bacillus clausii, like the other strains, has the unique ability to withstand harsh environments that other probiotics can’t. It’s been used in Europe for over fifty years and helps to support digestive health.  

Saccharomyces boulardii is actually a yeast, but it acts as a probiotic. It helps support a healthy immune system, regular bowel function† and more. It’s also one of the few yeasts that survives best at human body temperature, giving it the capacity to thrive in the gut.

Our SBOs arrive dormant and are stable at room temperature, without refrigeration.

Fact: Most Americans don't consume enough probiotics in their diet due to modern processed foods, soil depletion and more. I believe most people are in need of probiotic support.

Here's why: Thanks to prescription antibiotics, high carbohydrate diets, fluoridated tap water and high levels of stress, the good bacteria in our guts are often diminished, and our bodies can't replace them at the rate required for optimal health.

Many probiotics health benefits are gut- and digestion-related, so here are a few key reasons why gut health, in general, is so important to overall health:

- Up to 80% of the immune system is housed in the gut.

- Between 80% to 90% of the body's serotonin, often referred to as a feel good or happy chemical which acts as a neurotransmitter, is found in the gut. Serotonin is thought to have many effects on the body, including the areas of digestion, sleep, memory, behavior and more.

- Every bodily cell, tissue and organ depend on proper nutrient absorption and assimilation of food through healthy digestion, and, generally speaking, probiotics can play a supporting role in that.

Everyone is different, and will have a different experience when using the products. We suggest giving any new product a chance for 90 days. However, some people will experience digestive support soon after they start.

It varies. For most people, we recommend a CFU count anywhere between 25 to 100 billion. Our SBO Probiotics Ultimate features 50 billion CFUs* per serving. Our other SBO Probiotics capsules feature 25 billion CFUs* per serving, and the SBO Probiotics gummies features 10 billion CFUs* per serving.

To help support absorption and colonization in the gut, we recommend taking probiotic capsules (or gummies) on an empty stomach, either when you first wake up or right before bed (roughly 2–3 hours after your last meal).

SBO Probiotics Ultimate also contains the highest colony-forming unit (CFU) count of all our probiotics products, at 50 billion CFUs* per serving.

The SBO Probiotics Once Daily products each contain 25 billion CFUs*. Each product offers targeted support for specific areas in addition to digestive health: they focus on mental clarity†, vaginal health†, healthy immune system support†, men’s health and women’s health.

Our SBO Probiotics also include the strain Bacillus clausii, which is not in the Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics line. SBO Probiotics also have more herbs and nutrients in their formulas. That’s because Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics only have a 5% allowance of non-Regenerative Organic Certified® material. We had to be very selective with our ingredients to meet the Regenerative Organic Certified® requirements, so we chose to focus on including powerful myceliated mushroom ingredients from our founder-owned farms.

The Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics contain 95% of ingredients (excludes capsule and probiotic cultures) grown under the guidance of our founders on their Regenerative Organic Certified® farms as well as ingredients from other Regenerative Organic Certified® farms. It also means that 95% of the ingredients are produced on one or more of the farms located in Tennessee or Missouri as well as other Regenerative Organic Certified® farms. The remaining 5% are inactive ingredients, like the ingredients for the capsules.

In addition, every single Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics formula has beneficial mushroom mycelium ingredients. Mushrooms are typically a great way to ferment these ingredients and are a source of prebiotics and postbiotics.

While our SBO Probiotics lines only include SBO probiotics, our ROC™ Probiotics formulas also include lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultures. These formulas combine a variety of 10 diverse probiotics strains. Soil-based organisms are generally more survivable than live cultures, which is why there are 10 strains of probiotics, including a yeast that functions as a probiotic and LAB probiotics in our Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics as well as SBOs. Our SBO Probiotics have three strains and one beneficial yeast.

Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics varieties feature anywhere between 25 billion and 50 billion CFU1 per serving.

SBO Probiotics Trinity also includes a Prebiotic Blend composed of an Ayurvedic superfood fruit trio called the triphala blend, which is an herbal combination used for thousands of years to support overall gut and digestive health. It consists of three Indian fruits: amaliki or amla berry (known for its cooling effect), bibhitaki (used to help maintain balance within the body) and haritaki (known for its heating nature).

The main difference is that this SBO Probiotics line features primarily soil-based, spore-forming organisms, and Ancient Probiotics features mostly non-spore forming cultures (Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria strains) but with a soil-based probiotic (Bacillus coagulans) and a high-powered yeast that acts as a probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii).

The strains in SBO Probiotics typically populate differently in your gut than the live cultures in Ancient Probiotics, so they are great to take together for more strain diversity.

Ancient Probiotics varieties feature anywhere between 25 billion and 100 billion CFU* per serving, and SBO Probiotics features 25 billion CFU* to 50 billion CFU* per serving.

Soil-based organisms are generally more survivable than live cultures, which is why there are 16-17 strains of probiotics in Ancient Probiotics and three strains in SBO Probiotics and one beneficial yeast.
