These microscopic organisms support everything from digestion and immune function to mood, brain health, skin clarity and even pregnancy, vaginal and urinary health. For women especially, maintaining a healthy gut microbiome can impact hormonal balance, skin and cycle regularity. Yet many fall short in getting enough probiotics through diet alone, since these foods aren't staples in the typical North American lifestyle.
