Question 1

Do I need to refrigerate these probiotics?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Why should I give my gut support?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What's the best time to take probiotics?

Accepted Answer

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).

Question 4

How is this product different from the probiotics in your SBO Probiotics line, Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics line and SBO Probiotics Trinity?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is that 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). Our SBO Probiotics line, on the other hand, features primarily soil-based, spore-forming organisms. Our Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics contain 95% ingredients grown on Regenerative Organic Certified® farms (excluding capsule and probiotic cultures), including our founder-owned Regenerative Organic Certified® farms in Tennessee and Missouri. The remaining 5% are inactive ingredients, like the ingredients for the capsules. Our ROC™ Probiotics combine soil-based organisms with lactic acid bacteria for a diverse formula. They also include proprietary Bacillus subtilis AB22, which is a highly effective, live culture strain. Finally, 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).

Question 5

Are your products produced in a facility with allergens?

Accepted Answer

We now have a disclaimer that is on ALL of our products: "Produced on equipment that may also process peanuts, tree nuts, milk, soybean, wheat, sesame, shellfish, fish, egg." This is a voluntary disclaimer and our formulations have not changed. Our manufacturers are required to have Policies and Procedures in place when it comes to handling and processing allergens. These allergen programs are in place to prevent cross contamination after each run by proper cleaning procedures. Allergen swab testing is also done after running an allergen containing product. We test finished products for allergens prior to designating as “Free” of. We also follow cGMP (current good manufacturing practices) which helps maintain allergen segregation.
