Building a healthy gut is a crucial component of probiotic function. Without probiotics, the gut is at a loss as to which way to proceed as most of the building signals come directly from the healthy bacteria that colonize the gastrointestinal area. The best way to support a healthy gut and heal it is to present it with an anti-oxidant detoxing factor that can facilitate rebuilding. Additionally, it may be beneficial to introduce healthy, healing probiotic strains to facilitate building and function.
