Why bring probiotics on your trip?
Good gut health is important and even more so when travelling. With different sleep schedules, time zones, water, new foods and spices etc., it is very easy for our tummies to get irritated and off their cycle. This is where a probiotic is helpful. Even if you don't take them at home, we recommend that you bring probiotics on your trips.

Recommendations and Where to find:
Look for accredited probiotics and it is important to review the dose, how they need to be stored, strains of bacteria and the amount of bacteria per dose (CFU). A general rule of thumb is to pick a product with more than 1 billion CFU and contains Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium Bacillus or Saccharomyces boulardii (all heavily researches probiotics). You will also want one that doesn't need to be refrigerated. Most grocery stores and pharmacies will have multiple options!
