Bio-K + is a unique drinkable probiotic unlike anything else on the market today

Feeling sluggish or bloated? Or perhaps you suffer from bothersome eczema, or a restrictive food allergy. Whatever the case, we know the secret to cure your ailment: probiotics.

Okay, probiotics won’t solve all your problems. But they’re a good place to start. Believe it or not, a lot of health complications start in the digestive tract. We know, it’s not the most glamorous of topics, but it’s an important one nonetheless.

Most people think probiotics are only for people with digestive issues (gross). In reality, everyone can benefit from a probiotic a day. It’s time to educate ourselves about the product that will change our lives.

DOWNTOWN had the chance to get to know the makers of Bio-K +, a unique drinkable probiotic unlike anything else on the market today. They answered some of our questions, and allowed us to sample some of their product. The next day, we felt noticeably healthier. We can’t get enough of Bio-K+; it’s a must-have wellness booster!

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are friendly bacteria that can help preserve a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut. Probiotics can also cool inflammation along the intestinal tract and can help to keep the immune system healthy.

Why are they so important?

Healthy tummy, healthy person. The immune system relies on a healthy gut.

Specifically, how do probiotics help our body?

Probiotics can help to improve the immune system, digestion, elimination, and overall stomach health.

Who should consume probiotics?

Everyone can benefit from taking daily probiotics, especially those who experience a sensitive stomach or have GI troubles–and people on antibiotics.

Is there a recommended daily dose?

In general ¼-1 bottle of Bio-K+ daily.

What’s the difference between probiotics and yogurt?

On average, Bio-K+ has the same bacterial count as 100 servings of yogurt. Yogurt is not specially formulated in the way probiotics are–Bio-K+ has specific strands of bacteria that help the gut.

Where can we find Bio-K +?

Bio-K+ is available in high-end health food stores. As well as markets such as Whole Foods, Sprouts and Gelson’s.
