Let's break down how BC helps your overall wellness and why we included it in our Gut Health juice shots. 

Digestive health: BC is known for its ability to survive in the acidic environment of the stomach and reach the intestines where it can promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria. This probiotic has been shown to alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Studies show that BC can massively improve the state of your digestive health.

A study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences found that this probiotic strain increased the production of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) in healthy adults. sIgA is an antibody that plays a crucial role in defending against infections in the mucosal surfaces of the body, such as the gut and respiratory tract.

Weight management: When helping to keep your metabolism and digestion stable, BC may also play a role in weight management by promoting these two factors. A study published in the Journal of Functional Foods found that this probiotic strain reduced body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference in overweight participants over a 12-week period. The researchers suggested that BC may have improved insulin sensitivity and reduced inflammation, which are both important factors in maintaining a healthy weight.

A study published in the International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology found that this probiotic strain reduced symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis in participants over a 30-day period. The researchers suggested that BC may have modulated the immune response and reduced inflammation in the nasal passages.

Mental health: Even when it comes to your mental health BC can help! The probiotic has a positive impact by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. A study published in the Journal of Functional Foods found that this probiotic strain improved symptoms of anxiety and depression in participants over a 12-week period.
