Gut Feeling: Why Probiotics Matter (and What to Try)

We’re officially in our gut health era, and probiotics are the buzzy best friends leading the way. These live microorganisms (yes, friendly bacteria!) work behind the scenes to balance your gut flora, aid digestion, and support everything from immunity to clearer skin.

According to Dr Giovanni Leonetti of Cornerstone Clinic, probiotics may help ease issues such as IBS, bloating, lactose intolerance, gastrointestinal infections, and inflammatory bowel conditions while also supporting immunity, skin health, and weight management.

Now that we know just how game-changing probiotics are. We rounded up our top picks - whether you’re into gummies or classic capsules, we’ve got you covered:
