Many people associate bacteria with disease and illness, but there are actually a number of healthy bacterias that help regulate our body’s natural functions. The gut and GI tract are filled with bacteria, both healthy and unhealthy. Over 500 species of bacteria reside in our GI tract alone. That’s why it is important to support the good (healthy) bacteria, as they are literally at war with the bad (unhealthy) bacteria. Healthy bacteria supports everything from healthy digestion to disease prevention.
