Both “too much hygiene” (in the form of antibacterial soaps, hand washes, etc.) and antibiotics eliminate common bacteria, doing away with some of the good bacteria needed for that immune system balance. Smart use of probiotics in personal health, household cleaners and even in your lawn and garden can help reintroduce that good bacteria to your life.

In a nutshell, probiotics (me and my little microbe buddies) are live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amount and under appropriate circumstances, confer a health benefit on the host. These benefits might include boosting the immune system and aiding your digestive tract.

Most of our customers drink their Essential, Xtra Immunity or Herbal Probiotics with water, juice or other healthy beverage or food.  That’s why we here at Innovative Probiotics are always on the lookout for good recipes for our probiotics.

Here's a terrific one for a mango-berry green smoothie with probiotics! Have your own favorite green smoothie recipe? Be sure to share it in the comments section!
