SBO ProbioticDietary Supplement Dr. Mercola has been providing quality products since 2001. For optimal gut health, you need two types of good bacteria: reconditioning probiotic spores and reseeding probiotics. Probiotic spores, or soil-based organisms (SBOs), are key strains of bacteria that help protect and recondition your gut flora, preparing it for the introduction of probiotics. They help your microbiome recover from on-going assaults by fluoridated and chlorinated water, stress, processed foods, refined sugars, EMFs and pollution. Our ancestors’ diets included these bacteria spores, but today, people avoid touching dirt and thoroughly scrub their vegetables to remove all traces of soil along with their naturally-occurring organisms. Our complex Complete Spore Restore (SBO Probiotic) formula includes four outstanding soil-based spores or spore probiotics and a prebiotic organic blend of three highly valued mushroom mycelium to potentially help: Improve the condition of your microbiome and gut integrity.Support a normal inflammatory response in your gut and body.Enhance digestion and absorption of nutrients.Lower the pH in your gut to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.Support your body’s immune function.Support your GI tract’s normal detoxification processes.Improve the production of short-chain fatty acids by as much as 40%.
